Exercise with heart. You are not just moving your limbs mechanically, you are pulsing strength and beauty signals into your heart’s functioning. The body ceases to clamor and moves into a tranquil dynamism, evolving from surviving to thriving.
How much should you fitness exercise? For maintenance, walk 16 km per week; for weight-loss or cholesterol reduction, walk 24 km per week. To rhythmise the body and mind, listen to music or spiritual discourses as you walk. Music contacts your emotional nature and taps your self-giving resources. Discourses clear, purify and interaction brings sweet fruits.
Further power your physical fitness processes with some key immunity strengthening foods. Find a balance between enjoying the sense that it’s good for you and the sense of taste. By giving in only to your sense of taste, you proceed towards lethargy or nervousness and finally illness.

Listen to your gut and say “No” boldly to any food that causes discomfort (acidity, headache, gas, muscle aches, etc). Since one year, my wife has been navigating the no acidity, no headache food highway successfully (she avoids chocolates, cheese, peanuts,) and feels really upbeat about not having to swallow painkillers. When you experience freedom from pain, the taste of old favorites automatically loosens its hold over your mind.

A strong immune system will to remain well and this intensity expressed through thoughts, mantras or prayers can channel pranic energies to an afflicted spot or course healingly through the entire body and mind. Of course, any medication that you may be having must be continued. Meditation is not an alternative therapy, it is a supplementary therapy.
