Health Vacation at JNI - Day 9

-
Tomorrow is our last day here and preparations are already on for tomorrow. I lost about 3.2 kg in 8 days, others lost more than 4 kgs. In order to achieve my goal, I walked two kms extra today and now my legs are too tired after walking for close to 9 kms at a stretch, but I am ok and I have my goal in mind as mentioned earlier.

I had oil message today followed by steam, very good experience and later in the afternoon I had hot and cold pack for my back. My physiotherapy sessions are almost over except for one. I still have one session left for acupuncture for tomorrow. I have to target and loose at least 2 kgs by end of tomorrow so that I can reach below 80 kgs and hence need to work out extra. I also know that tomorrow I will not be able to do much in the morning as I am scheduled for LSP wherein I will drink 6-8 glasses of warm water and using yoga I will cleanse my system. But I am hopeful I would be able to reach below 80 by Sunday morning. In lunch, for a change I got cutlet (Tikki) though it wasn't anywhere near the regular cutlets we get but it was made of bread with all healthy ingredients in it. It was interesting and tasty as well, I liked it. Time passed quickly and we feel like we just started yesterday. 

Now, the focus has shifted more on how to maintain what we have achieved till today and how to maintain the diets that we have been taking here. Each of us have our own plans but we will get to know only after a months’ time as to how we are doing with our new schedules.
However, I am sure everyone will cherish these moments and the results that we have achieved for months to come.

What is LSP? LSP stands for Laghu Shankha Prakshalana. The word Shankhaprakshalana comes from two words. Shankha meaning "conch" and prakshalana meaning to wash completely. The word shankha is used to represent the entire alimentary canal from mouth to anus. This practice is also known as "varisar dhouti". This practice is also a part of kaya kalpa, which is an ayurvedic technique for physical purification and transformation, kaya means body & kalpa means transformation. Shankhaprakshalana is the process to clean the intestinal tract by removing the impurities with salty water.

Pre- preparation : Eight glasses of warm water should be available, add 2 tea spoons of salt per liter to the water.

Procedure : Start the process early in the morning at 6 to 7am. Initially drink 2 glasses of the water preparation as quickly as possible, in a sitting position. Perform the 6 asanas dynamically 6 times each, in all 36 asanas in one round. Then again drink 2 glasses of water quickly and repeat the yogasanas. This entire exercise needs to be repeated at least three times.


Just keep in mind that you need to have quick access to restroom as once you start feeling the pressure you don’t have much time before the download starts. Hence if you are doing LSP keep one restroom reserved for yourself J. You can google for checking what are the 6 Yoga Asanas to be followed for LSP or write to me and i would be able to help you. I am not an expert but now know how to do it and what to do.

With the thoughts for last day in mind, i slept off around 9.30 PM. Tomorrow is our last day in JNI.

Tirupati to Tirumala by Footpath

Image
Three friends or shall we say three musketeers, set out to take the challenge and complete the trek from Tirupati to Tirumala. In the past one year, we had been to Tirupati 3 or 4 times. Whenever we want to go, we just pick up our car and drive to Tirupati. It is 250 kms from Bangalore and takes about 4 hours to drive. The route is pretty straight and the roads also good except for a small patch which is in bad state and some part of it is a single lane highway. We started our journey on Thursday i.e. 22 Sep 2011 at night 10.00 pm from Marathalli. I went to my friends place and picked up his Etios and started driving towards Whitefield where we had to pick up another friend. At around 10.40 we started from Whitefield and headed straight towards Hoskote. The road from Hoskote is a national highway and is four lanes. You will see number of RTO check-posts on the way. Though, they are meant for commercial vehicles, sometimes they may stop you and try to make some money for chai...

Holy Trip to Rameswaram (Madurai, Rameshwaram & Kanyakumari)

Following The Footsteps of Lord Rama in Rameswaram "Rameswaram has, since antiquity, been an important pilgrimage destination." By  A. P. J. Abdul Kalam It cannot be summarized better than what APJ has said. Rameswaram has been a very important and integral part of Hindu pilgrimage and it is one of the most important places to cover in Southern India. It is one of the four Dhams (sites.abodes/seats) or pilgrimage sites in India that are widely revered by Hindus. The four pilgrimage site comprises Badrinath, Dwarka, Puri and Rameswaram. Rameswaram got its importance in the Treta-Yuga when Lord Ram built a Shiv-ling here and worshiped it to get the blessings of Lord Shiva. The Rameswaram means "the God of Lord Ram". Ram himself is considered an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. It is said that things happen when they are supposed to happen, more so, in the case of divine interventions. Man proposes, god disposes seems very apt in this situation. I planned this tri...

Trip to Vaishno Devi

Jai kara shera wali da, bol sache darbar ke jai! This was a trip, long due for me. Last time I visited Vaishno Devi was some three years back I guess. I was making plans ever since I decided that I will be going to Delhi in Dec to spend time with my extended family. This time of the year, it’s very cold, in Delhi and even colder at Vaishno Devi and hence less people are expected to visit. Therefore, the officials keep both the caves open and hence you can have good darshan at the Bhawan as well. I reached Delhi on 17th November 2011 and started making my plans for the trip. Spoke to couple of friends who agreed to join me on the trip. But, there is a saying. You will visit Vaishno Devi shrine only if there is an invitation for you from Mata. I guess my time had not come and hence thrice I had to cancel my plans. I was desperate to visit in 2011, but I did not realize that god has some other plans for me. Every time I planned the trip, I had to cancel the tickets because of...
