Day 4 at the Arogyalayam

I attended the Yoga session again at 5 am. A few more asanas were introduced today. I really like attending this class. Doing it in a group is a big motivating factor. Kriyas like Jala Neti and Sutra Neti will be introduced tomorrow. As usual, drank 1.25L of water twice prior to breakfast time.

Today’s breakfast consisted of two different type of sprouts, coconut, peanuts, dates, and papaya. The treatment prescribed to me in the morning was hand and feet bath. The apparatus shown below is filled with hot water and you are asked to put your hands and feet in it for 15 minutes. The head is covered with a towel dipped in cold water. This is supposed to increase blood circulation.

The daily yoga session and the water consumption is making me really hungry. I ate too much at lunch today. The afternoon treatment prescribed to me was Vibro massage of hands and legs. Today, I wasn’t hungry at all at the dinner time. For some reason, none of us were hungry. We skipped going to the dining hall. Mom and I shared the fruits delivered to the room for my dad.

Since I will be fasting from tomorrow onwards, a tray of supplies (250 grams of honey and lemons) was delivered to the room this evening. I am supposed to mix two spoons of honey with a bit of lime juice in a glass of warm water and consume every two hours from 8 am to 8 pm; also a glass of water from 9 am to 7 pm every two hours. Body is supposed to start the detoxification process while fasting.
