THE SOLAR PLEXUS EXERCISE


The Solar plexus is located beneath the heart and behind the stomach in the centre of the body just below the rib cage. This exercise if done daily is said to prevent any disease associated with this area of the body, including diarrhea, constipation, diverticulitis, cancer, and other disorders.

Sit or stand and place both hands on the stomach, just below the rib cage. Inhale and feel the air expand your stomach. Then exhale and as you do so use your hands to push in and up your stomach. As you execute these motions turn your head towards the left side as far as you can, without hurting yourself.
Inhale once again feeling the air expanding your stomach. Exhale pushing your hands in and up into your stomach, and this time turning your head towards the right side.

This procedure should be carried out for about ten minutes per day.

Exercise for your lungs

This exercise will help any type of lung problem, asthma, bronchitis, or breathing difficulties.

It strengthens the entire breathing system, including the skin, which is often called the " third lung".

To determine the health of the lungs and body, one should measure the length of the inhalation and exhalation. If the exhalation is longer than the inhalation, ill health is indicated, since more is going out of the lungs than is coming in.

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and parallel to each other. Your back should be straight, your chin slightly toward your chest, and your head erect, as if the back of your neck is stretching upward.

2. Exhale all the air from your lungs and clasp your hands behind your back.

3. Now inhale slowly, expanding your lungs and pushing your hands away from your back. Keep your chin tucked into your chest, and use only your chest to breathe.

4. Exhaling, drop your hands and bring your arms out in front of you. Continue to raise your arms, bringing your hands up toward your head and then around behind your back, and back up in front of your body, completing one cycle.

5. Interlace your fingers behind your back and begin the exercise again on the inhalation.

The cycle should be done ten times, and the exercise once per day.
