AUMVEDAS ACADEMY: The correct way to drink water

Ayurveda: The Right Way To Drink Water
Human body consists of 50-70% water. Our body continuously needs water to perform all the activities and functions; therefore drinking water is very good for health. Ayurveda has laid down some essential guidelines for drinking water to help improve your health and to prevent any ailments due to the improper water drinking habits
1. It is better to drink water while sitting than while standing.

2. You should drink it slowly and avoid gulping down large volumes of water in a single breath.
3. Tepid water is best to drink and it is advised to avoid drinking ice cold water.

4. It is best to drink when you are feeling thirsty. When you listen to thirst cues and sip water throughout the day you’ll be drinking the right amount.

5. You should stop drinking water after you feel satiated as it is a signal from your body to stop drinking.

6. The colour of your urine may indicate whether you are sufficiently hydrated or not. The colour of your urine should be fairly clear and straw coloured. Dark yellow urine may indicate a sign of dehydration.

7. Dry chapped lips may also indicate the lack of sufficient water being supplied to your body.

8. Normally the minimum gap between food and water should be between 1.5 to 2.5 hrs. Though it may vary according to different geographic locations, as the body’s ability to digest food depends on external factors like the outside temperature.

9. Though very contradictory, but the right time to drink water while taking food is to drink just the required amount of water, along with your food rather than drinking water before or after food.

10. If really thirsty, one can have fresh fruit juice after morning meal, buttermilk after lunch and milk after dinner. Though these also contain mostly water, the properties are completely different and are good for our digestive system.

11. Ushapan is a famous Ayurvedic practice of drinking water in the morning.  A regular ushapaan helps in keeping the body healthy. It also helps to get rid of many diseases and disorders like headaches, blood pressure, anaemia, obesity, arthritis etc.

AUMVEDAS ACADEMY - Lemuria and Telos, the story

Image
by Rev. Angela Hutcheon Lemuria is an ancient city prior and during the time of Atlantis. Lemuria is also referred to as Mu or the Motherland (of Mu). The Lemurian Age took place approximately between the years 4,500,000 BC to about 12,000 years ago. Until the sinking of the continents of Lemuria and later of Atlantis, there were seven major continents on this planet. The lands belonging to the gigantic continent of Lemuria included lands now under the Pacific Ocean as well as Hawaii, the Easter Islands, the Fiji Islands, Australia and New Zealand. Also lands in the Indian Ocean and Madagascar. The Eastern coast of Lemuria also extended to California and part of British Columbia in Canada. The Lemurian race was a mixture of beings that came mainly from Sirius, Alpha Centauri and a smaller number of them from other planets as well. Eventually, as these races mixed together on Earth, they formed the Lemurian civilization.  Lemuria was really the cradle of civilization ...

AUMVEDAS ACADEMY - ROOT RACES - WHO WERE THEY?

Image
ROOT RACES              by Rev Dr CW Dunne October 2016 via PLEIADIAN - LEMURIAN - ATLANTEAN  and Wikipedia J ....are stages in human evolution in the esoteric cosmology of theosophist Helena Petrovna Blavatsky , as described in her book The Secret Doctrine (1888). These races existed mainly on now-lost continents . Blavatsky's model was developed by later theosophists, most notably William Scott-Elliot in The Story of Atlantis (1896) and The Lost Lemuria (1904). Annie Besant further developed the model in Man: Whence, How and Whither (1913). Both Besant and Scott-Elliot relied on information from Charles Webster Leadbeater obtained by "astral clairvoyance". Further elaboration was provided by Rudolf Steiner in Atlantis and Lemuria (1904). Rudolf Steiner, and subsequent theosophist authors, have called the time periods associated with these races, Epochs (Steiner felt that the term "race" was not adequate...

AUMVEDAS ACADEMY: 21 Lemurian Concepts of Energy

21 Lemurian Concepts of Energy By  Catherine W Dunne  on  Saturday, 3 October 2015 at 18:52 21 Lemurian Concepts of Energy Lemurian energy concepts were based on the understanding that there is nothing and all things at once, that we are creatures that are the universe and the smallest form at the very same instant. Some terms, such as fields, grids,sections, signatures and discomfort do not adequately describe the workings of energy. Energy is the term used here to describe ALL that is, ONE, GOD, SOURCE. 1. Energy is all things, all thought, all existence in any form. 2. Energy is time free. 3. Energy is vibration and all forms of energy have a vibrational signature. 4. By altering the vibrational signature of energy its very nature can be shifted. 5. When vibrational signatures are altered there is a waveform shift in the grids that send the shift throughout the entire grid. 6. Energy is unlimited and immeasurable in its pure stat...
