You know what we are going to do today? That is a good subject. A subject for the exercises, and whatever we will do is especially for diabetes, for the pancreas, and for the liver. So these three different subjects are on our program today, okay? I hope no one has diabetes here, but if you do, if you don’t mind, just raise your hand. Okay, thank you. Alright, then we will begin. You don’t need a yoga mat, everyone. Hello, good morning. How were the exercises? Very nice. So, please lie down on your back, head to my side. Lie down on your back, legs slightly apart, palms open and facing towards your body, not exactly towards the ceiling, so that your hands are comfortable. You need not open your palm completely, just feel comfortable and gently close your eyes. If you like to leave your eyes open, you can, but for relaxation, it would be good that we close our eyes. Relax your ankle joints and your toes, and feel your foot soles. Feel your foot soles. There are many energy centers, especially connected with many organs. Once, contract your toes and again release and relax. Relax your hip joints so that your stomach is relaxed. Feel and relax your abdomen. No tensions in your back, on your hips, on your knees, calf muscles, and thigh muscles. Just relax. And now, feel your fingers, the tips of your fingers, your palms, wrists, elbows, and shoulders. Just try to relax more. Feel the circulation in your palms, in your fingers. Feel your shoulders and relax your back, relax your neck, relax your jaw, face muscles, relax the lips. Feel your whole head, the body from the toes till the top of the head, and from the top of the head till the toes. Relax, relax, relax. Now, place your right hand on your navel. Do not give pressure. Elbows, if it’s possible, reach the floor. Elbows are on the side of the body. But the palm, the middle of the palm, should be in the center of the navel. The center of the palm is on the navel. If with one hand it is not comfortable, you can put both hands, so it will be balanced and easier sometimes. Relax and feel the breath. Inhale and exhale. During inhalation, the trunk of the body expands, and during exhalation, it contracts. You feel the warmth on your navel, on your solar plexus. Most of the energy is distributed from the navel. The navel is like a sun in the universe. If you feel discomfort with your hand on the stomach, of course, you can bring the hand back parallel to the body and relax. Nothing should cause discomfort. Just relax. Place your hand back on the ground, on the floor. Once, bend your left knee and stretch the leg out again. And then the right one, and stretch again on the ground. Now, try to bring your legs together, straight but together. So this is a preparation and, at the same time, a support or therapy for our solar plexus. Okay, slightly bend your knees and turn to the left side. Turn yourself to the left side and, with the help of your hands, sit up, please. Comfortably sit up. Vārṣān, hastī kī pharan, vargut. So, we will make the second round similarly, and you will feel very good, and you will realize if there is something wrong or not. There can be some difficulties in the body. You may have constipation, but it must not be. However, maybe you have constipation or a very soft stool, neither diarrhea nor constipation, but a loose stool. Or you often have pain on one side of the stomach, or it must not be. Sometimes it’s a pain that you have a headache, and that is, according to the yogic science, with the nerve systems. It is a pain released from our solar plexus or the navel. The most powerful or the strong, mighty nerve in our body, which is maintaining the immunity in our body, controlling, balancing, and harmonizing the nervous system. It begins from between the big toe and the second toe, and from here it goes like a network on the foot soles, going towards our navel. This nerve is called Vajra Nāḍī, and there are some sitting in that posture, like Aśrānta is sitting in that posture. That’s called Vajrāsana. It’s affected very much, and it’s very good for our pancreas, our digestion, etc. So also, the eyesight gets disturbed when you are typing on machines or the computer for a long time, and then you have eyes closing because there is water or fog coming in front of the eyes, or the eyes are burning. That is also from the navel. So it is a very small point in our body, but that is very, very effective, important, and maintains our whole balance. The center of the universe is the navel. Our life begins first from the navel. And immortality, the nectar, what we talk about, it is here in the navel, not in the brain. The brain is the roots, supplying certain activities, and this and that, everything. But real life is here in the navel. So, you will feel it very clearly that your navel should be exactly in the middle, not on the left side or the right side. And that we shall now find out, because when we stimulate and control this center, then we will have no dangers or sorrows, like getting diabetes in the future. And if we have it, and we do, we can’t cure it, but we can balance it. So, let’s say this is a navel. It’s a bioprotector. You know the bioprotector? You don’t know the bioprotector? This one? When you have this, and you can talk for one hour—"Hello, how are you, my dear? This and that and that"—nothing will happen to your ear. And this will not become hot. So this is one of the most valuable things for our health, as a bioprotector. But this was not the subject of our exercise. This, I am only taking as a center. Well, so you can do it with your left or with your right thumb. And you will, while lying on the back, keep your legs together, not apart. The toes, the feet are standing like this, not folded right or left. And then, with this thumb from here, we said to put it on the middle of the navel. And you press. Some have very good stomachs, so you need not press it. Suddenly, you are immediately there. And some people, like me, have some kilometers far away. So I have to go to the distance. So you will press it slowly, slowly... exhale, inhale and exhale and press, and then exhale and try to push your stomach in. And then you will see the vibration, or like a heartbeat, here on the navel. That is like a heartbeat, like a pulse. And this most powerful pulse begins from there, then comes to the heart. And that is a Vajranāḍī. So you will feel it. Keep your normal breath. Press it with one hand or with the second hand also. Some of us have strong muscles. I don’t say that we have a big stomach, but we have strong muscles. So it takes time to press in. But take care. Don’t press so that the thumb goes into the stomach. Then I have to call a doctor, you know, to push it out. The doctor will say, "What have you done? Yoga." Why do you do this yoga? You should do a different yoga. Okay, so you lie down on your back. And this is not only for you. You can teach or explain to anyone who has diabetes, who has stomach problems, who has digestion problems, etc. So, in this subject, you are now a master. You can teach further. Yes, dear, both feet together, but relaxed. Don’t make a bridge under your back, so relax the back muscles. Three times, deep inhale and exhale. If you don’t mind, please then go under your t-shirt, or whatever you call your pullover, or just make free space near the navel and put your thumb on. Please don’t pull with the nails, only the thumb, not the nails of the thumb. And have a normal breath, and slowly, slowly, praise and praise. Find out where the pulse of the navel is. Exactly in the middle, left, or right. While inhaling and exhaling, do not lift your thumb up and down. You should constantly keep pressure through the thumb on the navel. Good. Place your hand beside your body. Keep your eyes closed. Relax. I will ask a question, and you can answer only by raising your hand or not. So, exactly in the middle of the navel, who was feeling that your navel bit or pulse is exactly in the middle of the navel? Raise your hand up. Thank you. Now, whose pulse was on the left side of the navel? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Thank you. And the right side? Two, three, four, five, six. Relax. And did someone not feel at all? Okay. Thank you. This is very good to ask the question and answer with hands, because all are with closed eyes and nobody knows who’s raising a hand up. So just for your... Now, I would like to give you some time, kind of treatment. Now, those who felt the pulse towards the left side, Please raise your left leg up and bend your knee. Try to bring the heel as close as possible to your body. And with this left leg, just kick out. Kick out your left leg like you are kicking something. One, two, three, four, five, enough. Stretch the leg on the ground, and again, now test your navel: if it went in or is still on the left side. Still on the left side. Good. Place your hand beside the body, and if you feel that this pulse is in the middle, then raise your hand. One, two, three, four, five, six. Thank you. Very nice. Now, we do the same exercise on the right side. So, place, bend your right knee and just kick your right knee out. Not slowly, just like you kick quickly. Don’t go outside, straight. No, no, no. Like you are with a great power, straight you kick something, yes. One, two, three, four, five, very good. Thank you. And feel now if the navel, the pulse, came on the center or not. So feel, please. Good. If it came in the center, raise your hand, please. One, two, three, four. Yes, it was only four. Very good. Lie down on your stomach. Turn onto your stomach, please. Now, join your hands and chin in your palms like this. Elbows standing as you like, a little apart or like this, however you feel comfortable. Yes, and bend your knees slowly and comfortably, one leg after the other, moving lightly, like you are reading a book and moving your leg sometimes. This exercise, it’s a very simple, looks like very simple, but it is one of the best for our navel and for our pancreas and the solar plexus. Very good. Remain with your legs folded, your knees folded, and with both hands hold your feet, chin on the ground. Try to keep your knees together as far as you can, and just relax in this posture. This will release many, many difficulties from the digestive system or the stomach. These are all inner organs: kidneys, liver, pancreas, digestion, and the heartbeat. It will become normal. And now, comfortably, slowly, with your own rhythm, roll your body left and right. Very good, in the middle. And one after the other, legs stretch out. And one side of your cheek is on the ground. And relax as you like. Just relax. Please release both legs comfortably, relax, relax. And now, slowly, take a deep inhale and exhale, move your body, and comfortably sit, please. The last exercise, so if you have no problem with the knee and ankle joints, then please sit in Vajrāsana like this, Amṛtsāgar, and that’s it. Hands on the thighs, body straight, shoulders relaxed. We do a kind of prāṇāyāma, very slow, like a combination of bastrika and kapālbhāti. So you relax and sit straight. Inhale and expand your stomach. Inhale, exhale, eleven times. After eleven, stop and close. Close your eyes and concentrate on the navel. Good. Open your eyes and slowly stand up, please. Interlock your fingers over the head, legs together. Stretch the hands up. Stand on your toes and take 25 steps on your yoga mat. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Go ahead. Very good. Hand on the head and heels down. Again, stretch your hands up and stand on your heels. And make again 11 steps, slowly, slowly. Good. Perfect. Hands down. The last exercise today, okay? Legs a little apart, yes. And sit comfortably on the chair. Not comfortable on the chair. You can sit like this and talk to me. Hello, Swamījī, how are you? I tell you one nice story about these exercises that we did today. So, just comfortably lean on your chair like this. I’ve forgotten this story, so stand up and take a seat, please. So, that is a preparation as well as a very, very supportive and very good precaution or a kind of treatment for diabetes and certain stomach problems. Afternoon or evening, we will continue this. Do you have any questions? Yes? Very good then, yeah? But you came late. The best exercises you missed. Good, and wish you all the best. God bless you. And do these exercises. It is above this whole, what we did for 40 minutes. You can do it in seven minutes. Because this was a learning process of how to do this. But you can perform this for five to seven minutes. It will help you very much. Yes, Pita. How often? Whole day, twice a day on an empty stomach. Morning is very good before dinner, and if you have time, you can also do it at lunchtime. But this is not; the whole course is not completed. There are very basic movements in this. But this is how to prepare, very nice, very, very nice. There will be a few exercises which we will get. Hari Om. Thank you. Good appetite.
