    MORNING PRAYER

    ~

    know how to treat it well. You will learn 5 steps that will
    make you fall in love with yourself.

    SHAUCH SANTOSH TAPAS SWADHAYA ISHWAR PRANIDHAN

    1/5
    SHAUCH
    When we hear about Shauch, we think of cleanliness. SAFAI.
    Keeping our environment and space clean. But when we talk
    about Shauch from the yoga sutras, it applies to everything,
    all aspects of our lives.
    1. PURIFICATION OF BODY
    Physical Shaucha is about keeping our bodies BODY
    clean and healthy. It's about taking a bath
    daily, eating clean, exercising regularly, and
    maintaining good hygiene.

    outer cleansing inner cleansing

    In the last few days, we have already


    been following this. We did fasting, had
    detox juice, and did asana every day.
    2/5
    2. PURIFICATION OF MIND
    Just like bad food dirties our bodies, MIND
    disturbing information can disturb our
    minds. What we eat makes our bodies. What
    we see, hear, and learn makes our minds.
    ENTERTAINMENT - Watching Thrilling shows,
    horror shows, and aggressive & violent content
    disturbs our minds & creates fear.
    COMPANY - It defines how our day-to-day
    looks. A very large aspect of our life depends
    on the company we keep. This is why in our yogic
    system, so much emphasis has been laid on the
    importance of SATSANG - Good company.
    To Purify the Mind:
    1.1. Watch content that uplifts you, helps
    you learn and grow, or clean comedy that
    makes you laugh.
    2. Keep company where you don't gossip or
    2.
    create drama. Be around motivating
    people who help you grow!

    HEALTHY HABIT OF THE DAY
    EAT YOUR GRAINS WITH 2-3
    TIMES MORE VEGETABLES

    East-Asians have great skin, because they consume a lot of


    veggies along with their grains.

    But the mistake we do is we consume a lot


    of different types of grains in one meal.
    Grains are water poor food, they don't have any water of
    their own. Hence we have to soak our rice and dal in water
    or add water in flour to make rotis. Therefore they are
    difficult to digest for the body.
    To make it easier to digest, let's supplement our grains with
    3 times more vegetables.
    1 bowl Rice 3 bowls Vegetables
    TIP :
    Our way of mixing veggies with grains is
    making Satvic Rotis. Mix vegetables like
    beetroot, Spinach etc in whichever flour you
    consume and make rotis out of it.

    70% of each meal should be water rich and 30% water poor.

    ACTIVITY OF THE DAY

    Organise you space of Sadhana


    Let's apply Shauch in our Sadhana place. It can
    be your office space, yoga space, or any space
    that is sacred to you. Organize it beautifully
    and share a video with the group.
