SHANKAPRAKSHALANA DHAUTI OR INTESTINAL CLEANSING - PART-II

Sunday, October 17, 2021 0
SHANKAPRAKSHALANA DHAUTI OR INTESTINAL CLEANSING  -  PART-II
Drink 2 glasses of warm salty water as quickly as possible.

When you have drunk 2 glasses, you must perform the 5 Shankha Prakshalana Asanas which are:

1. Tada Asana - 8 times

2. Tiryaka Tada Asana - 8 times

3. Kati Chakra Asana - 8 times

4. Tiryaka Bhujang Asana - 8 times

5. Udarakarshana Asana - 8 times

These Asanas must be performed correctly.

Then quickly drink 2 more glasses of salt water.

Repeat the 5 Asanas 8 times each.

Then drink 2 more glasses of salt water and again perform the 5 Asanas 8 times each.

Now you must go to the toilet.

Even though you might not feel any urge to empty the bowels, you must still go.

But, under no circumstances should you strain; merely sit or squat on the toilet for a short time, say a minute or so.

Whether you have a bowel movement or not, it does not matter.

Return to the place of practice.

Drink 2 more glasses of salt water and then perform the asanas again, 8 times each.

Then go to the toilet again.
Don't use any force trying to produce a bowel movement.

Then drink 2 more glasses of water and repeat the Asanas.

Again go to the toilet.

Continue in this way - drink salt water, perform the Asanas and then go to the toilet - until the end of the practice.

Continue the practice until you emit perfectly clean water.

This is a sure sign that your intestines are perfectly clean, probably the cleanest they have been ever since you were born.

Take 2 more glasses of water, practise the asanas, and again go to the toilet; this will make sure that your intestines are in the best and cleanest condition.

This is the end of the cleansing practice.

On the average, between 16 and 25 glasses of salt water must be taken before perfectly clean water is evacuated.

After completing Shankha Prakshalana you may feel thirsty. But you must not drink any water for at least three hours; all other drinks are also prohibited.

This is important for various reasons. If you drink cold water then this will tend to chill the digestive system, especially since the digestive system has been scrubbed super clean.

Immediately after completing the practice, the body sets to work reproducing a new protective layer on the stomach and intestinal wall which is supplemented by the special food you will shortly eat. If you drink water then you will tend to dilute and further scrub away the new protective film.

Take rest immediately after completing practice.

When you have completed Shankha Prakshalana and the two supplementary practices then you should take complete rest for 45 minutes.

Don't sleep and just sit quietly. If you wish you may lie down, but we emphasize that you take care not to fall asleep. If you do sleep you may get a thumping headache. This short period of time is important for your whole digestive system to take a complete rest. Rarely does your digestive system take total rest because it is almost continually digesting food.

Even when it is not digesting food, it does not completely rest, for then it takes the opportunity to clean out the digestive tract of debris, impurities and waste particles of food.

These 45 minutes are a time for the digestive system to revitalize itself. During this period of rest you might find that you need to excrete more water from the bowels. Don't worry this is normal.

SHANKAPRAKSHALANA DHAUTI OR INTESTINAL CLEANSING - PART-III

SHANKAPRAKSHALANA DHAUTI  OR INTESTINAL CLEANSING - PART-III
While you are resting after Shankha Prakshalana, another person who has not done the practice should be preparing the special food for you to eat. You should not prepare the food yourself, you should only rest.



The food must be prepared from rice, pulses or lentils and cooked with clarified butter. The rice and lentils should be of high quality and easily digestible. Sufficient food must be prepared to fill your stomach to replace the volume of food that has been removed from the digestive system by the salt water.



The rice and lentils can be cooked in water together until they are soft. Simultaneously the refined butter can be warmed and melted. When the rice and lentils are cooked, a little salt and turmeric can be added if necessary, though this is not essential. Then mix in refined butter abundantly so that the final preparation is reasonably liquid.



This special food is absolutely necessary to gently and effectively lubricate the whole digestive tract because Shankha Prakshalana does not only remove all waste matter from the digestive system, but it also removes all the natural mucus layers from the intestinal walls. Therefore, after the cleansing practice, the walls of the digestive tract are completely bare. The special food in reasonable quantity is essential to replace the natural film on the intestinal walls with a temporary coating.



Don't allow more than one hour to elapse after finishing Shankha Prakshalana before eating your food.



Having eaten your food, you should take further rest. However, it is important that you don't sleep for at least three hours. You will be tempted to sleep, but try not to. If you do sleep you will pay the penalty which is a long period of physical lethargy. So don't sleep for at least three hours after taking food, if you don't want to be sluggish during the rest of the day and the following day. For three hours you should rest without doing any physical or mental work. After this time has elapsed, you may sleep if you wish. In this way you will avoid any side-effects.



For one week you should follow certain food restrictions. If you cannot abide by these food restrictions, then you should not practise Shankha Prakshalana. You should avoid the following foods: chemically processed, synthetic, pungent, acidic and non-vegetarian foods. This includes alcohol, cigarettes, tea, coffee, soft drinks, milk, buttermilk, yoghurt, spices and any characteristically acidic fruits such as lemons, oranges, grapefruit, pineapple, etc.



You must eat a simple, pure and reasonably neutral diet. You may include most foods such as rice, wheat, bread, most types of fruits and vegetables with low acid content, nuts, lentils, pulses, soybeans, etc. You must use your discretion and common sense. Remember you have cleansed the whole digestive system. If you eat the wrong food it may have adverse reactions on the digestive tract.

Also make sure the food you eat is clean, well cooked and not poisonous. Alter Shankha Prakshalana your digestive system is more vulnerable to unsuitable, bad or dirty food, so take extra care to protect your body.



You should not do your regular Asanas on the day you perform Shankha Prakshalana and the following day. For two days also avoid excessive mental and physical activities.



This is quite a long and complex practice. Therefore, normally, you should not practice more than twice a year. You should allow six months to elapse before doing Shankha Pprakshalana for a second time.



This practice is not to be done by people who suffer from peptic or duodenal ulcers. People with high blood pressure should not practice alone, but should seek proper guidance.



BENEFITS



Shankha Prakshalana purifies the whole body.



There is no medicine or method that can clean the small and large intestines so thoroughly as this practice.



Many diseases are directly or indirectly caused by accumulation of toxic waste matter in the intestines. This practice expels all impurities from the digestive tract and thereby helps to purify the blood system.



This can result in a wonderful and noticeable improvement in general health as well as helping to remove specific ailments. In particular, it has been found useful for the treatment of diabetes, hyperacidity, constipation, dysentery and many other ailments connected with impure blood such as bad complexion and excessive occurrence of boils or pimples.



Those people who feel healthy can also do the practice, for they can improve their health, making them feel lighter, more cheerful and exhilarated with life. Furthermore, it will help to make their minds sharper.



This is also a very important practice for those people who intend to perform intensive yogic techniques for higher awareness.
