Nature's Way of Exercise
Nature has laws that we as nature's children need to live by. There are certain rhythms like the circadian rhythm than man's internal body time clock is tuned into from time immemorial. The tribals live by the laws of the land, sun, sea and atmosphere. For them, its nature that determines when they wake up, work, eat, play and sleep. That was before artificial light and electricity came into being. No matter how much time you spend in artificial light, our body-mind craves the real sunlight. The sun element is important for natural exercise. We are like plants; we absorb the sun's rays and create vitamins and energy from it which sustains us. We breathe oxygen from plants and trees which they naturally eliminate. There is a natural demand for movement from our body which we term exercise as there is a natural symbiosis of rest and relaxation too.

In his autobiographical book, ‘The story of my experiments with TRUTH', Mr MK Gandhi shared his experience ofeating meat. He shares: “…I asked my friend the reason and he explained it thus: 'We areweak people because we do not eat meat. The English are able to rule over us because they are meat-eaters. You know how hardy I am, and how great a runner too. It is because I am a meat-eater. Meat-eaters do not have boils or tumours and even if they sometimes happen to have any, these heal quickly. Our teachers and other distinguished people who eat meat are no fools. They know its virtues. You should do likewise. There is nothing like trying. Try, and see what strength it gives….” Mr Gandhi continues… “…All this had its due effect on me. I was beaten. It began to grow on me that meat-eating was good, that it would make me strong and daring, and that, if the whole country took to meat-eating, the English could be overc

What should I do with it? I nor smoke neither allow any visitor to smoke in our house! She argues that I am not appreciating the gift as she expected me to do! I appreciate the craft!

FOOD and VITALITY - the vital understanding
Recently, I came across this advertisement! It says “We make a dead person, alive”! I shall not even waste time ridiculing this advertisement. I shall come straight to the point of the foundation! What is the foundation of this thought process of claiming to make a dead person, alive? The seed is the misconceptions about the VITALITY! Unless we understand the aspect of vitality well, we would suffer from a lot of superstitions related to our health and happiness altogether. Wherever we see a life, we experience the existence of VITALITY. Seeing the life around us might trigger the assumptions of vitality-enhancement as - lives usually look similar. But technically, the vitality cannot be interchangeable due to the non-compatible uniqueness. The vitality of the individual is unique to that individual only.
