Pregnancy Exercises (walking)

Some info from "The Ancient Art of Self Healing" by Yogi Bhajan. (Get

the book!)

 

 

WALKING (before and during pregnancy)

 

"Now we will tell you exactly what a woman is required to do to remain a

wonder. Firstly, she is required to walk 4 miles a day, her structure is

that way. The 2 big abdominal muscles, left and right, which hold your

pregnancy have to be 10 times stronger than the male, otherwise you

cannot hold the child. Normally, that is why in the 7th or 8th month you

start delivering the baby. These 2 grinding muscles are supposed to

massage your internal organs in the abdomen. Therefore, you may do any

job, but do something where personal physical walking is required. A

woman who does not walk will never have her menstruation cycle right,

thus her calcium balance will never be right, and her thinking will

never be right. Calcium and magnesium imbalance in woman creates

psychological and physical problems. Not walking creates liver problems.

Then you get pancreas problems, and then a series of problems. Your body

is different from the male totally and absolutely. The male is like a

beast of burden; he can carry a load, he can lift weights as a sport.

These 2 muscles inside your abdominal cavity are supposed to be very

strong. Under no circumstances allow a possibility to have your pelvic

bone split. Your muscles should be strong enough that if it splits, they

can bring it back. You do not understand that when you deliver a baby

your pelvic bones go about 4 inches away from each other. You just split

apart. Man doesn't have that capacity. If a man's pelvic bones separate

by 1 inch, he has to have corrective surgery. Basically your back

muscles and especially your lower back muscles should be very strong.

What makes them strong? Walking. That is why when you are pregnant and

you have a baby, we ask you to walk 5 miles a day. We are not anxious to

keep you out of the home. The idea is to make you understand that those

big muscles are carrying and supporting the baby."

Hi,

 

Thanks for the tip on walking, please clarify;

Well, i practise kundalini yoga along with a tape by Ravi Singh.

Please let me know, say i can devote 1 hr a day.

What percent should be devoted to kundalini yoga and what percent to

walking? Or is it that either or will supplement?

Appreciate it.

Sat Nam, Menita
