THE GUIDE TO JUICE FEASTING
& INTERNAL CLEANSING
What Is Fasting? - Fasting is a process by which the body is enabled
to eliminate all the poisons, accumulated waste, mucus, dead,
diseased and damaged cells (hereafter referred to as "toxins") in the
digestive tract. We use fasting, cleansing diets, and esoteric exercises
to accomplish our goals. Fasting has a history that goes back to
Moses, Buddha, Jesus, and Mohammed (PBUH).
This scenario could take as long as forty years or more to play out, or
it could take as little as ten years.

Is Juice Feasting a form of Preventive Medicine?
Yes, when you restrict food intake you heal the liver, kidneys and
spleen. The purpose of our program is to rid the body of toxins and
prevent further build up of these poisons.
How Can I Tell If I'm Toxic? - Look in the mirror, and ask yourself
these questions:
Is my lower lip significant larger than my upper lip?
Are there dark circles under my eyes?
Are my eyes puffy or swollen?
Are the whites of my eyes red or cloudy?
Is the area around my cheekbones puffy?
Are there deep horizontal lines in my forehead?
Are there deep vertical lines between my eyebrows?
Now turn sideways and look in a full length mirror
Is there area below my naval puffy and swollen?
Can I pinch more than an inch above my waistline ?
Are my thighs or upper arms flabby?
Is my skin dry, flaky or scaly?
Do I have pimples or rashes?
Listen to your breathing. Look at your watch and count how many
breaths you take in one minute(BPM). If it is over 15, it is too many.
The American average is 21 BPM. Does your perspiration have an
odor that bothers you?
Do you have bad breath even after brushing and mouthwash? Do you
have leg pain or weak knees or lower back pain?
If you answer yes to any of these questions, then you are toxic. Do not
wait until you "get sick". You are already sick,
but you can start the healing process by cleansing out your own toxins.

Why Use a Detox Kit for my 3 Day Fast
Instead of a Water Fast?
We advocate a series of cleansing diets before actually fasting with
water only. This detoxification program is designed to help clean out
mucus, toxins, and other waste material from the intestinal tract as
well as the major organs. These organs are able to function much
more effectively when toxins and other waste are removed, thus
helping the body to restore new energy.
5
d. Dependency upon habit forming substances, such as refined sugar,
caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, drugs, etc., disappear as the blood stream
is purified. When the residues of these addictive substances are
flushed out of the body, the craving for both unnatural stimulants and
depressants disappears. Even more remarkable, the usual withdrawal
symptoms from these habits are not present during or after the Detox.
e. Bad eating habits are also broken, so that as you come off the liquid
cleanse, it is easy to begin with new and better habits of eating plus
improving the quality of food we eat.
f. When used for weight reduction or weight control, the stomach has
a chance to reduce to normal size, thus making it much easier to
control the quantity of food eaten.
Because of the major benefits that this liquid cleanse has to offer,
it is recommended that you follow this three day detoxifying program
at least four times a year when the season changes. It is very
beneficial to your health whether you are underweight, overweight, or
at your already desired weight.

What Does The
3 DAY DETOX KIT Consist Of?
1. Drinking the Master Cleanser.- This is a mixture of distilled
water, fresh squeezed lemon juice, AFRAKAN cayenne pepper, and
LIGHT AMBER maple syrup. We use distilled water because it is
pure, with no chlorine, bacteria, or unwanted minerals to interfere
with the cleansing process. With even spring water minerals may bind
to the toxins making it difficult to detoxify. Lemon juice triggers the
release of stored energy (fat). Lemons are also considered the best
cleansing and loosening agents of mucus and uric acid. AFRIKAN
Cayenne or BIRD PEPPER capsicum acts as a scrubbing agent of the
mucus membrane of the digestive tracts. Don't worry, it may burn
your throat when you drink it, but it won't harm your delicate stomach
or intestines.
2. Vegetable Protein. - The body will burn fat and protein equally
while on the cleanse and we don't want your body to burn muscle
fiber for protein. BLUE GREEN ALGAE is an algae that contains
every Amino Acid, the highest known source of chlorophyll (300%)
more than alfalfa, every vitamin except D and E, and the ability to
extract toxic minerals from the body. BLUE GREEN ALGAE also
contains trace minerals, low sodium and high potassium, zinc, and
iron. BLUE GREEN ALGAE also keeps your energy level high to
enable you to maintain your active pace while on the DETOX.
7
3. Fiber. - Agar-agar is a Japanese name for a sea vegetable from the
West Indies called icing glass. In Japan it is traditionally used to
make a dessert called Kanten. It is also used to make aspics, jellies,
and candy. Agar-agar is loaded with minerals and vitamins like A,
B1, B6, B12, Biotin, C, D, and K. The high fiber (almost 90%) aids
intestinal actions, and bonds with radioactive and toxic waste to carry
them out of the body.
8
The important question is how many Colonics does one need. You
may need as few as three over a 7 Day Fast, or as many as 10 over a
21 Day Fast. It depends on the individual's past eating history,
whether he or she eats meat three times a day, or once a day. or
whether they eat fried pork chop sandwiches with lots of mayo and
mustard. It would be wiser to start with warm water enemas, and
then work your way to Colonics, if need be.
For the first enemas (if you've never has one before, or if it was more
than a year ago) only fill the bag 3/4 full. You should have an enema
every morning while you are on the 3 Day Detox and every other
morning while you are the 7 Day Fast. The second or third enemas
should have a full bag. You will eventually work your way up to 3
and 4 Bag enemas, which is the origin of the High Colonic. As more
and more people were giving themselves 8-10 bag enemas, it became
clear that it would be easier to put a five-gallon tank on a stand to
give a high colonic.
9
HOW LONG DO I FAST?
Remember our motto: one size does not fit all. For most people a
short fast is the beginning. People who should not fast are those who
are chronically weak, heavily medicated, or emotionally distressed.
Ideally a 7 - 10 day fast is best; however, if you've never fasted
before, or do not have an emotional support system (i.e.. family or
friends acquainted with Fasting) a 3 Day Detox is adequate.
Your 7 Day fast should be supervised the first time. The reason
for this is simple. Things will be going on in your body that you will
be unfamiliar with. A Fasting guide or coach will be able to tell you
what to do and how to avoid problems. It would be virtually
impossible to cover all the possibilities here, but we will attempt to
tell you about the most common ones.
10
HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS
Your skin is an organ of elimination. The opening and closing of the
pore of the skin is controlled by the longs which is another organ of
elimination. The following suggestions will also help you eliminate
toxins making you feel more comfortable while Detoxifying.
4. You may also want to learn Qi Gong (14 Exercises that activate
the Acupuncture Meridians), Tuina (Chinese Acupressure) or
Shiatsu (Japanese acupressure), or Self Massage (Do-In or Tao Yin),
or Reflexology (Zone Therapy), in order to alleviate any hidden
conditions you or your loved ones may have.
5. Try going for walk for 20-30 minutes daily. A brisk walk while
swinging your arms. Do arm circles by holding your arms out to the
side and do eight wide circles followed by eight small circles. It
massages the heart and opens up the intercostal spaces between the
ribs so that you can breath easier.
11
6. Learn how to give yourself an enema. Lay on the floor on your
bedroom with a towel under you. Have the enema bag already full of
very warm water and check the flow of water. Place the clip on the
hose which will allow you to stop the flow of water at any time. It is
called crimping the hose. Lay on your left side. Pull your right knee
forward. Grease the tip of the nozzle hose with Vaseline or other
lubricant. Hook a hanger through the hole at the top of the enema
bag. and place on the door knob or a convenient hook. (It helps to
have a friend also). This will free your hands. Now push out like you
are going to move your bowels, and then gently slide the tip of the
hose into your anus approximately 1-2 inches. Then uncrimp the
hose to allow the water to flow. When it becomes uncomfortable,
crimp the hose to stop the flow of water and allow the water to find
its way into your bowel. Then uncrimp the hose again to start the
process. Repeat this until all the water is inside your bowel. Then
roll over onto you back and massage your stomach. You can use the
handle of a hairbrush if you feel you are not strong enough to
massage deeply. Retain the water for at least 10 minutes. Then
calmly get up walk to the bathroom and evacuate your bowels. You
may have two or three bowel movements before you are ready to get
dressed again.

THE
3 DAY FASTING PROGRAM
Detoxification
13
PRE-FAST - THE FASTING
PREPARATION
TRY THIS CLEANSING DIET for POST-FAST
1). Fruits in the morning. The best fruits are melons, strawberries
year round. Organic apples and pears in the fall and winter.
Organic cherries and papaya in spring and summer.
3). A mixture of brown rice and beans for the evening meal. Kidney,
black, Lima, and aduki are recommended. One part beans to three
parts rice is the best combination. Follow recipes in You won’t
Find Love in the Refrigerator
4). If you feel the need for additional protein try: tofu or tempeh,
cooked cashews or almonds, sprinkle sunflower or pumpkin seeds in
your greens or grains.
14
If you've never fasted before, your PRE-FAST should be at least one
or two days, but it all depends on your metabolism and your mind.
Persons with fast metabolisms and quick minds can start right away.
Others who are not sure of themselves need more preparation. The
preparation period could be as long as five days or as short as one
day. You will eat fruits in season only. If you normally eat more
than 40 % of your diet as meat , including chicken and fish, then you
should have two colonics or enemas during this preparation period.
Just fruits and water (no juice) will prepare you physiologically and
mentally for the reduced intake of the Detox. Remember, you are still
eating, just restricting the amount.
15
FIRST DAY
1. Mix distilled water, lemon juice, maple syrup and AFRAKAN
cayenne pepper as desired. Drink one glass every two hours.
4. During the middle of your day, take another 2 tablets Blue Green
Algae with 8 ounces of water.
5. Before you go to bed take Natural Herb Formula stool softener 3-5
capsules approximately 10 hours before morning enema.
7. You may drink any additional water or herb tea that you desire,
however, you must drink at least 6 glasses of the Master Cleanser.
16
BREAKING THE FAST
This is very important, because if you break your fast incorrectly you
may undo all the good you have just done. Your stomach has shrunk
and you must eat very small amounts of easily digestible food to
allow your stomach to adjust properly. After years of overuse you
gave it a vacation and I'm sure your stomach was enjoying it.
C. Persons whose diet is 40% meat or more should eat raw or lightly
steamed vegetables. Kale is recommended, mustard, turnip and
collard greens, spinach (best raw), broccoli, and Brussels sprouts.
Chew very carefully and thoroughly at least 50 times. If your diet is
30% meat or less, you can start with 1/2 pound of black grapes.
Later, you can have steamed vegetable miso soup. DO NOT overeat.
17
DAY AFTER BREAKING THE FAST
The second day you should have a glass of carrot-celery- beet juice
and a few hours later a small fruit. Later in the day, a small salad.
This second day is very important; don't blow it by eating
unconsciously.
THIRD DAY
FOURTH DAY
You may have fruits for breakfast, and a big salad for lunch. Dinner
will include 1/2 cup cooked brown rice and miso soup with
vegetables.
FIFTH DAY
The fifth day is also very important, because if you are going to
change your diet, this is the day to do it. If you don't change your
eating habits now, whatever benefits you've gained will be lost.
18
7 DAY FASTING PROGRAM
The 7 Day Fasting Kit is an ideal aid to those who are prepared to fast
seven days. It is actually easier to do than the 3 Day Detox Kit.
(To order Packaged Detox Kits see form back page)
All of the reasons for fasting were already described in detail in the 3
Day Detox section. However there is a particular reason for fasting
seven days in preference to three days. Actually healing takes place
the longer you fast. As the liver directs the burning of stored energy
for fuel, there is available extra energy that is not being used for
metabolism. It is used for tissue repair and self healing and
maintenance. Ideally one should fast whenever you feel discomfort
or the start of an illness. Usually this is instinctual. However our
culture tries to falsify our natural inclinations. Seven days is an ideal
time to fast and self heal whenever the seasons change.
19
WHAT DOES THE 7 DAY FASTING
KIT CONSIST OF ?
Blue Green Algae, Chinese Herb Formula Stool Softener, Agar-agar
flakes, Cayenne/Garlic Capsules, and Bee Pollen. If you have a juicer
then you should have vegetable juice for breakfast and dinner, and
fruit juice for lunch. If you don't, you'll need 8 oz. fresh squeezed
fruit juice twice daily and get 8 oz. fresh squeezed vegetable juice for
lunch at a health food store nearby.
FIRST DAY
3. Drink fresh squeezed fruit juice with bee pollen and blue green
algae in the evening.
DAY #2-7
1. SAME AS ABOVE
20
BREAKING THE FAST
A. Start off with fruit only for TWO DAYS. Maximum amount is 1
1/2 pounds per day. Then gradually reintroduce other foods back
into the system, one each day. Don't try to rush it by eating too many
different foods too fast. You will regret it.
C. Persons whose diet is 40% meat or more should eat raw or lightly
steamed vegetables. Kale is recommended, mustard, turnip and
collard greens, spinach (best raw), broccoli, and Brussels sprouts.
Chew very carefully and thoroughly at least 50 times. If your diet is
30% meat or less, you can start with 1/2 pound of black grapes.
Later, you can have steamed vegetable miso soup. DO NOT overeat.
21
FOURTH DAY
FIFTH DAY
SIXTH DAY

#2. FASTING
Fasting is the key to changing your downward spiral.
Every healing system that I've studied recommends fasting.
Some people have convinced themselves that if they don't eat
for three days, they will die. You can go 7 days without water
and 30 days without food with no serious damage to the body.
A 3 day Detox is easy once you've determined to make the
change in your life and you believe that you will derive some
benefit from it. It is difficult to make a lifestyle change if you
are under heavy stress. There are spiritual benefits as well as
physical benefits from fasting. Moses, Jesus, Mohammed, and
Buddha all fasted 40 days for spiritual enlightenment. You
can fast three days and receive emanations from heaven while
reducing the negative pull from earthly vibrations.
30
#3. EXERCISE & MASSAGE
Exercise & Massage Clears Meridian System
31
We don't believe in strenuous activity unless you have at least
3 months steady build up of stamina. Moderate exercise over
the years is more beneficial than spurts of strenuous activity.
Everyone knows that we need exercise, but no one knows how
much. Balance is the key. If you are a sedentary person, have
a sedentary job, or have a job with a lot of mental activity, you
need to balance with strenuous exercise. Similarly, if your job
is digging ditches or chopping wood, you need small amount of
fun exercise.
32
There are many sports that are combinations of the above,
such as golf, tennis, bowling, and archery. Some sports only
exercise one or two major muscle groups. So one must have
variety in sports as well as food. For example, running won't
exercise abdominal and biking won't exercise hamstrings.
MASSAGE
33
4. MEDITATION AND VISUALIZATION
Everyone knows that meditation is useful, but not everyone
knows how to use it. Meditation in our culture is particularly
useful for calming the noise pollution, air pollution, rude and
ungracious persons, crowded buses and subways, ungrateful
bosses and co-workers, family invasion of privacy, unpaid bills
and like. We need to meditate for clarity of thought and
purpose, as well as to prioritize our intentions.
Any project or commitment should be meditated on daily.
Many of us meditate without even realizing that we are
meditating when we stare out of a window or into space. We
need to cultivate this habit more.
1. QI GONG Walking Meditation - Stand balanced as your
arms extend upwards to the right, step out with your right
foot. As you bring your arms down, shift all your weight to the
right leg. As you extend your arms upward to the left, step out
with left foot. Repeat motion, walking in a circular pattern for
five minutes, breathing as your arm goes up, and out as arms
go down. In the beginning this requires concentration, but if
you practice everyday it will get easier and easier, until you
get in a space where you are not your body.
2. Chanting Meditation - 30 minutes - Can be done in sitting
position. Back and spine must be fully erect. Breath from
diaphragm, and your sound must emanate from there. What
are we chanting? You must have a mantra. If you investigate
you will find there are many hundreds of mantras. Depending
on your religious upbringing there may already be a mantra
for you. They are usually 3 or 4 measures, i.e., Je-sus-Christ;
Al-lah-Hu; Ha-re-Krish-na; Namyo-Ho-ren-Geikyo; Om-Mani-
Padme-Hum. These are all mantras. However, there are
many that are longer. AMEN-RA SUTEN NTR, ATON RA
34
NEBEN ANKH. HERU PU MAAT KHERU, HERU MAAT
HERU Which mantra is for you?
3. QI GONG Standing Meditation - 5 minutes. Feet shoulder
width wide apart, knees bent like sitting down, only tension in
the body is in the front of thigh and back of calf. Arms held
loosely in front of you like holding a barrel, hand relaxed. If
you are familiar with horse stance in martial arts this is not a
strict version but should be close to it.
4. Sitting Meditation - 30 minutes. If you can't cross your legs
yoga style, don't worry about it. Sit on the edge of a chair with
knees below hips, or on a cushion so that knees are on floor.
Fold hands in lap so that thumbs almost touch. Elevate head
so that eyes are looking 30º above horizon. Unfocused eyes,
breath slowly and deeply, counting to 7, while exhaling only.
Keep spine straight.
5. Lying Meditation - 30 minutes. Lie flat on floor, spread
eagle. Breath in one count of five heartbeats. Breath our on
count of 10 heartbeats. When praying, have the intention of
receiving what you ask for. Explain to the Creator why you
need what your are asking for. Be very clear about it. Then
visualize yourself receiving it. While you are praying, close
your eyes and hold your hands so that the fingertips touch and
your thumbs are directly over your heart. Send out rays of
light to the Creator and focus on what you are praying for.
Guided Visualization- Image in the Immune System
A relaxation tape or breathing meditation followed by the guided
imagery of a special place and visualization of your immune system
defeating the illness. It is important for the individual to create
his own special place and his or her, own image of what and
how the immune system is doing to enhance itself.
35
In building our immune system, we can visualize the color blue
like a Robin’s egg. Then envelop yourself within this
transparent electric blue egg membrane shielding yourself
from whatever negative energy, illness, and so on. Do this
visualization every day as your meditation, morning and
evening.
Another visualization is the Golden Pyramid. Sit cross-legged
and imagine a golden light coming from the top of your head
down in four directions forming a square on the ground around
you. Then connect that golden light from the top of your head
up to the sun and from your spine down into the center of the
earth. As you complete all the connections state to yourself, "
Ground and protect, ground and protect".
Night work throws the body out of balance. After 6 months the
36
brain begins to malfunction. Because on your days off you
revert back to normal schedule.
What does this mean for those of us who work 9-5 and have
part-time jobs and extra curricular activities? What about
those of us who have families? "I can't go to bed at 9 p.m., I
have too many things to do". Think about those who work 7
a.m. to 3 p.m. They have to get up before 5 a.m. and be in bed
no later than 9:30 p.m. If they can do it, so can you, and you'll
be much better off.
Ideally, if you work 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. you should sleep 9 p.m. - 5
a.m.
If you work 11 a.m. - 7 p.m. you should sleep 11 p.m. - 7 a.m.
If you work midnight's to 8 a.m. you would sleep noon - 8 p.m.

GUIDE TO
INTERNAL
CLEANSING
39
BATHING RITUTALS & SHOWERS
BATHING in ancient Egypt was a religious matter. Cleanliness is
next to Godliness. One could not enter the temple unless one had
properly cleansed ones feet and body. Even the priests had to ritually
bathe before entering the holy of holies. The royal women had a
refined use of the bathing technique. Every day they would take a
succession of baths; first cold, then tepid and then hot. The hot bath,
which was scented with fragrant oils, was followed by an aromatic
massage, probably with cedarwood oil or cypress.
The Romans must have been the greatest bathers of all time. The
Thermae or public bath formed one of the most important feaures of
Roman social life. At one time there were almost a thousand public
baths in Rome. In Turkey, Thermapoli is the site of a Roman bath
built over a natural hot spring. The Roman Ruins are still lying in the
hot pool where a modern hotel is now built. The procedure was to
undress and enter a room called the unctuarium, which had shelves of
terra cotta jars containing perfume and fragrant ointments. After a
preliminary oiling he proceeded to the frigidarium or cold bath for a
quick stimulating rub down. Next came the tepidarium or tepid bath
and the caldarium, the hot bath, which was heated by a furnace
underneath called the hypocaustum, the predecesor of our modern
steam bath. While in the hot tub he scrubbed himself all over with a
bronze comb called a strigil, at the same time pouring scented oil
over his body from an ampulla (a small bottle). After the hot bath
came a massage with aromatic oils. Roman woman usually were
40
attended to at home in the style of the Egyptians. Slaves called
cosmetae were overseen by the ornatrix, the mistress of the toilet.
They were bathed in hot scented water. After bathing, the hair was
styled, dyed, and treated with fragrant oils. The face was massaged,
the cheeks painted with fucus, a kind of rouge and the eyes shaded.
Finally the neck and shoulders were massage with scented oils and
the rest of the body lightly washed in rose water. Most Egyptian
women were naked from the waist up in public.
HOT TUB - good for tired, sore, aching muscles. Allow water jets to
hit the bottom of your feet and low back. If you can't make up your
mind which bath to try or can't find the ingredients try the General
purpose is bath listed below.
Lemon or Lime Bath- Juice of three lemons or four limes in full tub
of hot water. Add eucalyptus oil. If you can't fine the oil, Boil
eucalyptus leaves from florist with garlic, and add to bath. Soak for
41
15 minutes. Massage with Wintergreen oil. Good for aches pains,
arthritis, colds, and viruses. Try this every Monday.
Epsom Salt Bath- Old standby for Self detoxification. Add 2-4
pounds in full tub for 15 minutes. Do this once a month following 3
Day Detox.
Sea Salt & Baking Soda Bath- For those who find Epsom Salt too
draining, add 2 pounds of each in full tub of hot water for 25 minutes.
Red or Green Clay bath- Clears the energy field, good for skin
conditions. Add one cup of clay to full tub of hot water for 30
minutes.
42
Therapeutic Bath Salts
This is used to revitalize your magical/spiritual energies during the
gloomy winter months. In a bowl combine 3 cups) Epsom salt
2 cups) baking soda and 1 cup) Sea salt . Add several dried Hibiscus
flowers. Use 1/2 cup each time in 1/4 tub of water. You should get 12
baths out of the mixture. To each bath add 30 drops Sandalwood Oil,
20 drops Rosemary oil and 10 drops Frankincense oil.
Summer Bath- Combine 3 cups dry powdered milk plus 2.5 cups
finely ground oatmeal. Add 4 oz. lavender flowers and 4 oz. elder
flowers. Use 1/2 cup each time in 1/4 tub warm water water.
Aphrodisiac Bath- you can add a few drops of vanilla essence to your
bath.
Showers
In our fast paced society sometimes we only have time for showers.
Some of us don't even have bathtubs. A shower was basically a good
idea. It reminded one of waterfalls. Of course a waterfall put
negative ions in the air, which accelerated the healing process.
Unfortunately a shower will use 25-40 gallons of water depending on
how long you stand in it. A bath will only consume 10-15 gallons.
Military Shower - Alternate hot and cold water. Wet one minute.
Turn off . Lather up. Rinse off
43
Relaxation Shower- Use Shower Massager on your neck, shoulders
and low back.
Steam Shower - Put towel under door and close windows. Run Hot
water for 5 minutes then get in for 15 minutes. Scrub with loofah.
SWEATING
STONE LODGE or SWEAT LODGE - This Native Amerikan
Ceremony is religious in nature. The purpose is to ask the Spirits of
the Stone to release you from all poisonous thought, actions etc. and
to allow your Holy Spirit to guide you. If you are invited the leaders
heat rocks for several hours and then place them in a small pit.
Saplings are placed in a circle around the pit and a tarp is thrown over
it. You place corn and tobacco which are religious objects onto an
altar before entering the lodge. The leader of the sweat says prayers
and then periodically drips water with sage in it onto the hot rocks
which create clouds of steam. The prayers continue as the peace pipe
with organic tobacco is passed around. Everyone is required to say
prayers when they receive the pipe. This continues for several hours
until the leader decides it is time to exit. Then the group enters a
nearby stream or pool to cool off which completes the cleansing and
closes the pores of the skin.
44
Breathing
The Mind Body Link
There are many breathing exercises for various spiritual, esoteric
and health reasons. Start with the Breath of Fire. It requires you to
breath in and out as fast as you can, which will strengthen your
diaphragm and lungs. Try it laying on your back for one minute
every day. Increase it slowly to three minutes and then to five
minutes daily.
45
YOGIC CLEANSING
ROOT LOCK - It is a simplified combination of Deer, Crane, and
Turtle forms of Nei Kung Exercises, with Kapalabhati and Uddiyana
bandha Yogic exercises. The purpose is to internally massage the
entire digestive tract from esophagus to anus. We break the exercise
into three parts to make it easier to learn. Anal sphincter - Practice
opening and closing the anus. Push out like you are going to defecate
and then pull it back. Practice this 10-20 times once a day. Once
you have mastered that bend over and put your hands and your full
weight on your knees while doing the next part. Abdominal
Contraction- Empty the lungs, strong and forcefully, breathing out
and hold your breath while sucking your stomach in and out quickly
10 times. Breath several times and then repeat. Do this three times in
succession once a day until you have mastered it. Neck and Spine
stretch - With hands on thighs and trunk bent slightly forward stretch
spine like a turtle pushing his head as far out his shell as he can.
Once you have mastered all three parts you can do them
simultaneously. You will feel the esophagus contract along with the
intestines and the rectum.
By exercising the rectum and anal muscles one is stimulating all the
endocrine glands. The energy goes from the sexual glands up to the
adrenals up to the pancreas, thymus, thyroid, pituitary and finally
pineal gland. These seven glands are called the seven houses in
Taoist Chinese Medicine.

NETI - INTERNAL CLEANSING OF THE UPPER GATE - Nasal
douche with a Neti pot, available at most esoteric bookstores. To a
glass of lukewarm water add a teaspoon of sea salt. Pour a small
portion of this water through one nostril, closing the other with your
thumb. Raise the head and allow the water the flow down to the
throat and out of the mouth. Do not try to inhale the water as it brings
an unpleasant sensation. Just allow it to flow to the mouth naturally,
by keeping the head raised, then spit it out. At this point, a small
quantity of water will remain in the nasal passage, which must be
blown out immediately by a forced expiration. This process should
be repeated three times with each nostril once a week. By practicing
this we can prevent infections, which get their start in the mucus
membranes of the nasal passages. By internal cleansing of the upper
gate (nose) we have our first line of defense in building our
S.H.I.E.L.D. against the common cold and other opportunistic
infections.
