Do THIS Each Morning To Raise Prana and Joy!

Amandha: If you don’t have time to warm up the solution, you can do it cold. Actually, in India. This is a very sacred yoga cleansing practice. And interestingly enough I went to India and I was trained in this method and all cleansing methods that the yogis and yoginis are meant to do. Because what that does is raises the prana.

Amandha: Right at in the morning you cleanse all the cavities of the body and it raises the prana for you to then do your pranayama practice. And that then raises your chi. And the whole goal, of course, of yoga isn’t just have a hot body, you know, in some kind of like yoga class. It’s to raise your vibration or to connect further to source to God.

Amandha: That’s a whole point of all of the exercises. And if you’re in ill health, you cannot do that. You simply cannot do that. And that’s probably what the underlying, deepest part of the agenda to keep us sick and Ill, aside from making money control and all that, is to keep us away from our sacredness, to keep us away from our joy if everyone’s anxious and depressed and mental.

Amandha: Where are we gonna be at? Where are we going to be at spiritually? Where are we gonna be at mentally? Okay. The gut has more neurons in it than the brain. The gut is the control center of our thinking. Okay, there’s three actual centers, but that is a huge one. There’s the brain, the heart brain, and the gut brain.

Amandha: Okay? When you get up in the morning and you cleanse the colon of your daily activities of eating the previous day, you feel physically lighter. You can think clearer, and you can cope better and the energy that comes from it. Incredible. I don’t I’ve done a lot of different techniques and a lot of different, you know, methods of healing.

Amandha: And this one is probably one of the most powerful and most simple that you can do is just pure water that is distilled. You don’t wanna use tap water, you don’t wanna use spring water. You want the water to absorb toxins as you’re flushing it out, you’re gonna literally get your poop out. You, cuz you, so you feel lighter.

Amandha: You’re not gonna be bloated. And I notice now as I’ve done this, I’ve become more in tune with my body. Its needs. And the second I put something in my mouth that my body does not like, I can feel it in my gut immediately, even before I finished swallowing it. And I find that incredible because I don’t, I’m already sensitive.

Amandha: I’m already an. I don’t wanna have to feel more stuff. So at first I didn’t wanna do the practice cause I didn’t wanna have to feel more things. But it’s not a negative, it’s a positive because you fine tune your food so nicely from this because you know immediately if you’re sensitive to something or you know immediately if that’s not something that you should be.

Amandha: because you feel heavier when you eat it. And in the morning though, you’re gonna clean that out. There’s no harm in doing it every morning. This is just water. It is not going to damage the mucosa. It is not going to remove anything. It’s not supposed to. In fact, it’s the opposite. The stuff that comes out is really it’s filth.

Amandha: It’s literal filth. Our bodies have not been able to. With the sheer amount of abuse that we have given to ourselves, not just in terms of the food and drinking and coffee and alcohol and other poisons that we willingly put in our bodies. Well, not me, I don’t put those in my bodies, but other people do, or the culture does.

Amandha: And then we expect good health from that. And we, you know, put all of this crap in, including vaccines, including antibiotics, which kills our own beautiful microflora that is there for us to heal us. All of this things. And then are, is the liver gonna function optimally? And that’s what’s in control of the bowels.

Amandha: Evacuating bowels. Balancing the bowels. Okay. All of the, so if you wanna help your body get the shit out for it. And it won’t have to work so hard. Now, all that chi, all that prana, all that life force does not need to go to getting the poop out of your body. It is now gonna go to all the rest of the cleanup in other areas of the body, like arthritis, for example, and grab that debris and put it in the colon because it knows, guess what?

Amandha: Tomorrow morning she’s gonna clean that right out of there. Awesome. So you don’t have to worry about, I know that there are people who shouldn’t do things every day and whatever. You’re gonna take breaks, but you’re gonna get into this place where you’re gonna love how you feel when you do that. Morning enema.

Amandha: And it’s simple. It’s just a little bit of water, I would say. Okay, so let’s go through it. You can buy an enema kit. There are different kinds. I just have a water bottle and hose that I’ve used for years. I’ve had the same one for a long, long time that I use also for coffee enemas and other enemas that I’ve done.

Amandha: And it’s easy. It’s just a water bottle with a hose connected and a clamp, and it comes with two nozzles, one’s for vaginal, one’s for rectal. Put the rectal nozzle on and then when you prepare the water. You, I would suggest if you’re in a cold climate or you have a hard time warming up, or you’re not doing pranayama as a yogi practice which makes your body very hot, you see, that’s why the yogi, the yogis and yoginis, especially in India, it’s hot.

Amandha: You don’t wanna add hot water up your butt when it’s hot. You wanna cool your temperature down. And actually that is a method too. Bring fever down as well, doing this actual cleansing method. Not that you wanna mess with fever, but I’m saying that if you do have a runaway fever, that’s a method before any kind of poison like Tylenol, you would use that, you would do it a cool water enema or a tepid water enema.

Amandha: Okay. And, okay, so then you. You have that correct nozzle and you put a little bit of lubricant on the end because you wanna be gentle. If you have hemorrhoids if you have any fissures, if you have any rectals. Anything that is infection or problematic, you may need to be either extremely careful when you insert, or it might be con.

Amandha: Contraindicated for you. It depends on the level of where you’re at with any kind of infection or any kind of fissure or something like that. But for the most part, it’s safe. It’s not going to do any harm. And but hemorrhoids, you have to kind of work around that, the hemorrhoids gently. And so lubricant, Very important.

Amandha: Okay. All right. And then there’s different ways to actually take the enema. You can lay down on your back and have your legs up. You can lay on your left hand side, you can lay on your right hand side. You can have your butt sticking up in the air. And what was the other one? I think right? Left button, the air legs up.

Amandha: I think that was pretty much it. But it’s easy and it, you can’t do it wrong. Now, how I prefer to do it I prefer to lay on my left hand side or I’ll start on the right and move on the left. And why I like that is because if you understand the directionality of your large intestine, it exits on the left.

Amandha: It comes off the small intestine. Then you have the appendix. So here on the right hand side, that’s where the appendix will come off. And then it will come it kind of goes like this. Here’s the bowel I just described the bowel with my body. It goes up and it goes behind, and then it goes over and it comes front again, and it goes down and out.

Amandha: And that movement. You can clean out one side of it, but think about it. If you’re laying on your right side, you’re go, you’re going to get the water deeper into the colon. And that’s how I like to do it. I like to get it almost more like a colonic in a sense, rather than an enema. And okay, so then just make sure you have a towel on the ground.

Amandha: I lay it down in the bathroom. I have the toilet seat ready to go. And the first time you do it, you’re going to probably be uncomfortable. You’re going to feel urgency, you’re gonna wanna evacuate pretty quickly and you won’t be able to take all the liquid in. I usually do about two liters or so. It’s not a perfect science.

Amandha: You can do less, you can do more because you’re really just cleaning and washing and cleaning and washing and you can take quite a bit in, but you know your limit, your body.

Amandha: Okay. I had a poor connection. So what the, one of the tricks is you wanna breathe in when you’re doing. The allowing the water to come in. It just helps because at the beginning it’s like, whoa, this is intense. And then you breathe and then it relaxes.

Amandha: Especially as you do, it becomes easier and easier to hold it.

Amandha: It becomes easier and actually pleasurable to do it. It doesn’t feel weird or uncomfortable because you’ve cleaned it up so nicely. There’s nothing really barrier in the way for that removal of stool. And you’ll, you will be surprised what comes out. There’s a lot of stool that will come out.

Amandha: There can be old stool that sits and think about this. If you are not having bowel movements properly in the day and you have old stool that is sitting in your rectum, it is leaching back into your body. You’re basically re detoxifying your own body by your own stool sitting there. And. Is in and of itself is causing all kinds of chronic issues.

Amandha: And people tell me that they don’t poo in like a week or something. I’m like, oh what? That’s not normal. You need to poo not just once a day, usually multiple times a day. Really, every time you eat, you should be evacuating. The other thing that’s interesting is you can tell if you’ve had old stools sitting.

Amandha: Further back in the colon by the angles of the stool. If it’s sitting at one of the flexures and that it shouldn’t be there. It should all be in the lower part of the colon, ready to evacuate each time. But if it’s backed up, you’ll get angled pieces coming out that we’re sitting higher up, and that tells you that you haven’t been evacuating.

Amandha: Enough times. This is also a good recommendation for people who like to fast and who fast often because what happens when you fast is the digestive tract kind of relaxes and doesn’t actually isn’t interested in processing anything obviously, because. It’s saying, well, there’s no food coming in.

Amandha: However, there’s other debris because of the detoxing, the other debris wants to go to the colon. So it’s a great idea if you are fasting to do this morning Basti colon cleanse with the distilled water because it’ll assist your cleanse and you won’t get as many detox reactions and so forth.

Amandha: You’ll just help it along. So I recommend that, especially if you like to do any kind of fasting. So it’s, so, as I said it is very simple. It’s a simple practice. It’s a morning routine. It takes all of 10 minutes. The water’s simple. If you don’t even wanna heat it, I just warm it so it’s not cold.

Amandha: You obviously don’t want it to be too hot because that can harm you. So that would be something you’d be very careful cautionary about and how they used to do. Way back when they were wise is they would either go in the ocean and let the waves go in such a way that they would be able to pull the water up into their rectum.

Amandha: Yeah. And then they, that’s how they would do that cleansing every morning. And they would also pull it up into their sinuses and they would clean their ears and there was methods that they were using, so they use ocean water. Or the yogis and yoginis will sit in a tub and actually can use muscles to pull and draw the water up into the rectum.

Amandha: If you’re that talented, call me. But I’m not doing that method, so, just saying I’m not sitting in a tub and I’m not sucking water up through my ass and just putting that out there. I know Lucy just give me a minute. My dog’s like, excuse me. I’d like some things here. I like to be fed, but I have to do a video in between me making my pain cream, which I was out of, but now I’m back in stock because I ran outta jars in Oy Bay.

Amandha: But I finally got the jars today, so I’m making the pain cream. So while that sets, I’m like, I gotta do video. I tell people about Basti. So this is a very ancient practice, the things that, that the ancients knew.

Amandha: We’ve lost a lot of this and you wanna, you want to prevent chronic illness.

Amandha: This is just one of those cheap, simple morning practices, but again, this joy it was something I wasn’t expecting. But I was very happy obviously, but I was very excited the fact that. This was another bonus to the cleansing. And I noticed I don’t wanna feel any poop in my butt ever again. Like I, it feels so nice and clean.

Amandha: You feel so nice and light your tummy’s flat. You don’t have this big bloated, you know, most of belly fat in people walking around with belly fat. Is poop. Yeah, poop. So everyone’s walking around literally full of shit and they wonder why they can’t think clear, they wonder why they’re grumpy. They wonder why they’re, you know, needing stimulants like coffee.

Amandha: I can’t, I’d actually caution against. Doing this practice and mixing it with caffeine. I would say don’t, please don’t do that as a contraindication. I would say come off your start coming down off your coffee to prep. And I wouldn’t even do tea, honestly. I wouldn’t do any caffeine because you feel high after your prana has come so far up that if you add another stimulant, you could become kind of chaotically frenetic, right?

Amandha: Where it’s too much energy, you can’t even hold the energy. I would say that would be a contraindication. Against just, and why would you poison yourself? You just cleaned yourself. Now you’re gonna work the liver. You just help the liver be happy and now you’re just giving a poison to your liver.

Amandha: You see why we’re on these stimulants?

Amandha: And so the stimulant in the morning, the coffee to get up the alcohol in the evening to get down, get up and get down. OK. Anyway but that has to stop because that is early grave. And they’re poisons. They’re carcinogens. They’re neurotoxins, right? And you wonder why you can’t think, and you wonder why you can’t be efficient, and you wonder why you’re a couch potato and you wonder why your relationships are falling apart and your life’s falling apart and you’re in debt and all this stuff.

Amandha: Well, if you feel like that, who, of course your life’s gonna be, you know, shit in the handbag, right? So this, I would just urge you to try it and let me know, like give some feedback. Yeah, I tried it, here’s what I noticed. Here’s what I felt. Give it a few days at the beginning, you’re just gonna get the energy right away, but give it a few days just to settle in.

Amandha: On how you feel because it just takes a bit of adjustment at the beginning. Like anything new that’s a new practice. And yes, you know, there’s gonna be different. There’s so many different enemas. You can use ocean water if you live near an ocean, that kind of stuff. But that’s salt water.

Amandha: And so it’s a different osmotic gradient.

Amandha: Than just pure water. What also is interesting is not just stool will come out you’ll notice, look for parasites. You’ll notice little parasites. A lot of them look like little tiny pumpkin They’re not necessarily gonna be moving. You can get a lot of eggs coming out.. And what’s interesting about doing this versus the coffee enemas the coffee masks the color of what everything’s coming out.

Amandha: You don’t see it so investigate what’s coming out, honestly. I know you’re like, eh, it’s gross. It’s my poo, it’s like, get over it. You make it’s in your body. That should be gross, that it’s sitting in your body for days. That’s gross. But when it comes out, look at it is what, is there a lot of mucus? Am I seeing?

Amandha: You know, mucus, you know, Dr. Sebi, God rest his soul,, he was like, mucus is the cause of all of our diseases, yo. And if you can break down the mucus and get the mucus out of the which is actually there because there’s so much inflammation, then you’re going to heal. And this is an excellent way to help remove excess mucus from the system.

Amandha: And actually pulled up a link that I’ll connect you to that has. A really educated, sort of, breakdown on this Basti method and some of the other benefits that you might not think of in doing this. So I’ll read that in a second. But yeah, Dr. Sebi, if you don’t know him, he he was a real doctor, you know, he really knew the body and he understood that.

Amandha: That the way we’re eating, the foods we’re eating are gumming up the plumbing. And so this method is cleaning up your plumbing system, basically. I’m just gonna look at at the comments real quick and then I’ll read this thing and then I gotta jet. Of course never lets me go up high.

Amandha: Hi everybody. Hello. Hello. This is a great reminder. I’ve not done this for 24 years long overdue. I’ve been wanting to cleanse lately. That’s great. And you know, same thing because when I was in, the last time I was in India was like nine. Eight or nine years ago or something. And I did a training.

Amandha: I was there for two months and the first month I was shadowing many different practitioners. And I was at a naturopathic ashram in Rishikesh. And at this Ashra this is, they taught Basti and they taught all of these cleansing methods to us. And And I don’t know why, you know, it’s funny how things are, like, why didn’t it stick?

Amandha: Or, I mean, I understood the benefit of, I don’t, I just, maybe I thought, who’s gonna do that every morning? That’s not realistic or something. Who knows where my head was at there. But it’s taken me that long to go, wait a second, I need to do this. And oh, and now that I’m doing it, oh wow, now I’m really understanding it on another level.

Amandha: The training is, has really come full circle for me. Okay, so let’s read. I have so much. No. So many tabs open here. Okay, so there’s a really good website called yogic way of life.com, and it has an article on Basti, the yogic enema technique. So it’s a Hatha Yoga method of performing in enema. It’s one of the Shatkarma.

Amandha: They had to call it Shatkarma. Sorry. I know I’m immature. Or the six purification techniques mentioned in the yoga texts. The Hatha Yoga Pradipika. Sorry, my hindis really rough. And the Gheranda Samhita, it’s a, it’s aimed at cleansing the lower intestines in the colon, removing toxins and cooling the body.

Amandha: And the other thing, you know, what I noticed is I. Sometimes would get some heart racing here and there, and I notice, and it was more when I was sleeping and I notice that’s gone my heart is calmed right down. That’s an interesting effect of this method. It’s probably just allowed me at, in the evening time when I’m resting to really, truly embrace being in yin, being in, in that downtime and that true, relaxing, resting.

Amandha: This method is also used with its variations in traditional medicine practice of Ayurveda and naturopathy. This process has to be learned from a qualified yoga instructor. No, it doesn’t. How to do Basti? Sit in a tub full of water. The water should reach up to the naval, and ideally this is done in a river with a gentle flow of water.

Amandha: Okay, so maybe it’s river, not ocean. Ben, I heard. Bend forward and put the hands on the knees and then you have to draw in water from the anus to into the large intestine. Well, no, this method has to be learned by a qualified yoga instructor cause there is no way I am drawing water up from my anus in river.

Amandha: Try to expand the sphincter muscles of the anus and try to pull water up into the rectum. This may be difficult in the beginning., the Uddiyana Bandha or drawing the stomach inside, you know how they can pull the stomach in and upward helps to do this process. Actually, the. The teacher, the trainer I had, he was amazing at that he blew my mind. They actually did a method where they massaged the intestines, doing this in and out, up and down flow of the whole gut. It’s intense. So then you hold the water in the bes for some time and then expel it through the anus. I would hope that would be the only place you would expel it.

Amandha: Repeat this process until the bowels are fully clean. See, that’s the goal is basically there’s just water coming out. There’s nothing else coming out. At the beginning, you won’t achieve that. That will take some time to achieve weeks, maybe longer. Okay. Benefits of Basti, the large intestines can have impurity stuck to its walls and we know that just like plumbing it, things can get greasy.

Amandha: We can get calcifications in there. And then behind that you can get parasites. You can also get plaques formed from different parasites and different critters that can get in there. And those are mucoid plaques and they’re very hard to break down. And this is a method in which to help remove these mucoid plaques.

Amandha: And they won’t get expelled for days. These impurities Basti removes these impurities and cleans the coal and dusty detoxifying the large intestine. It relieves gas formation in the large intestine. And I can attest, I am, I mean, I was not, I know how to do food combination to not be like Farty bo Bardi, but now I’m not gassy at all.

Amandha: There’s no extra gas happening that sometimes you eat something incorrect like you eat fruit and vegetable together and might not digest it that well. And there’ll be a bit of gas form, but Basti clear that up. And also the bloating that goes alongside with that basti is also good practice followed by advanced practitioners at pranayama, as I mentioned, because there’s a lot of intense heat generated.

Amandha: And that that’s where the practitioners can sit in the river and practice Basti. Okay, so that’s the cold water one. Basti’s a common practice use Ayurveda and naturopathy for detox. Yes, we said that Basti helps those who go on long fast. Okay, I mentioned that. So during long water, fast. The regular stool movements are almost absent yet lots of toxins get expelled from the body and it’s pushed into the small and large intestine. These toxins have to be taken outta the body, and usually an enema is given to remove them, but you get the enema effect with Basti. And there’s a little more discussion about it. You can use neem leaves, you can boil neem leaves in there if you feel there’s some sort of infection as a disinfectant.

Amandha: And I just want, you know, I talk a lot about dmso, just never use DMSO as an enema, because DMSO opens the barrier to skin and you don’t wanna open a barrier that. Waste materials so that you absorb more of that. So just so you know that you don’t use DMSO rectally ever. And this is also interesting, I wanted to mention, because a lot of people are Doing this cleanse where they’re drinking a lot of celery in the morning.

Amandha: Have you heard of this fad where people are taking two stalks of celery, juicing them and drinking them first thing in the morning on an empty stomach? And what’s happening to them is they’re creating an osmotic diarrhea because celery is full of salts and the salts will push impurities out through the intestinal tract into the colon, and they’ll get a, they, if you hear any of them talk about it, they get a big, old messy poop like pretty soon after they eat that drink that.

Amandha: Because they’re giving themselves basically a cleanse, a colon cleanse. So save your money on this celery and do this Basti instead because you’re going to get. The effect you’re after. That’s really what the celery juice is actually doing. Just wanted to help you understand that. Yeah, there’s benefits to having celery.

Amandha: It’s got a lot of nutrients in it. Sure. But you can throw your salts off if you keep doing it over and over, and your wallet, your pocketbook, when that fad hit. Everyone in their dog was doing it and the celery prices like doubled. I mean, I went to buy celery just cause I used celery and buy my soup stocks and stuff.

Amandha: It’s like, what? How much did I pay for that celery people crazy. My garden this year will include lots of celery. So anyway, so don’t fall for fads. Think about why the fad is there and think about why the person is doing that and what their benefit, what the end goal is, and ask what happens to the body if they do that and you know, get deeper questions.

Amandha: That’s it it’s an osmotic colon cleanse which you can do with distilled water. Okay. So that’s what I wanted to talk about today. And I’ll post the link actually I’ll post a couple of links. There’s another one on some of the sides of enema position. I’ll post that as well.

Amandha: And yeah, try it and let me know how it goes. With yours, with your morning Basti practice and how your joy just goes through the roof where you know, doesn’t mean you’re not gonna get stressed. It doesn’t mean. You know, everything’s gonna be perfect. It just means that your ability to cope is gonna go way up and you’re gonna heal your guts.

Amandha: So you’re gonna be able to think clear, and when you can think clear, you have better creative solutions to your challenges and too problems in life. And then you’ll be able to overcome them with a little more elegance and perhaps have some ideas on how to solve things that would save you a lot of stress.

Amandha: My website is yummy. Maybe I’ll do a blog post. I’ll do a blog post on that. That’s a good one to do. Blog. So I do have a blog on my website. It’s yummymummyemporium.ca. That’s gonna be the new site or is the new site. And right now there’s a forwarding link, so you can click on that and that will take you to the existing platform.

Amandha: And there, I have other blog articles there. I would say that the indications for Basti would also include hypertension, cholesterol. Any type of inflammatory response, any type of serious chronic disease like cancer. I mean, there’s really not anything that you wouldn’t need it for cleaning and cleansing the body, but those are top indications.

Amandha: Any type of pain syndrome, any type of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, all of these things can benefit from this method. So, Yeah, so I think I will do, I will try to get you a blog post on that to have it summarized for now, you have this video, which is gonna be on YouTube, and if you’re watching it on YouTube, it would be nice if you know, subscribe to my channel.

Amandha: I really try to get the word out. I really try to help people. And if you can share this with people, I think it’s a good one because it’s some someplace. People can start. So many are sick right now, and they don’t know where to start. They don’t know what to do. They feel helpless. They know the doctors, the MDs don’t help them.

Amandha: And they’re frustrated.

Amandha: And I would say this would be a gift for them to get to, just to watch and learn to do a simple enema you know, but go buy an enema kit. If you’re gonna buy the can enema, by the way, there’s one in a can that can spill just letting you know. It’s fine.

Amandha: You can use that one.

Amandha: I’m just saying that it’s open, so be careful. I just like to use my one with the hook cause I hang it up on my shower curtain. It’s because you need a proper feed. And that there’s not a lot of mess.

Amandha: And the other thing I wanted to mention that I didn’t is just make sure you prime the tube that’s not full of air before you insert it rectally.

Amandha: That you prime it so the water is right at the end of the tip before you insert it. I think I’ve gotten to everything there. I’ve been having intense issues with my wrists and fingers. Hands and cloudy thoughts. Well then there you go. You won’t have that tomorrow.. You will be able to feel. A nice level of joy and you’ll be able to look forward to something in the morning that will help you have a better day and, you know, be joyous to others.

Amandha: Because when, especially right now, it’s like dead of winter here, it’s minus 30.

Amandha: It’s ridiculous and it’s easy to be grumpy and it’s easy to just whatever, shut out the world. But when you have extra energy and when you feel better, then you communicate. You go out into the world, you are able to find out what else is going on, right?

Amandha: You have more energy for those things, and I think, and also you have more energy to stop some of the other stuff that’s going on, like the corruption at Health Canada and what they’re, how they’re destroying us. I mean, it’s insane what’s going on and no hardly anybody notices because everyone’s too sick.

Amandha: Everyone’s just dealing with their own personal crises.

Amandha: So how are we gonna solve the fact that our government’s fallen apart and is trying to take over every freedom we have? If we’re all sick and dying. Right? So that’s super, that’s a, that’s, there’s lots of benefits to Basti taking down corrupt governments is on that list.

Amandha: Yes. And anyway, I don’t want to keep going on and on, you know, I can do that. But I love you. I care about you. You’re important. Make yourself a priority in a good way, not in a narcissistic way, in a good way. And when you’re healthy and well, then you can assist others. So share this video please with others so that they can learn about Basti and how to do this as a morning ritual.

Amandha: Everyone needs a little bit of pattern, a little bit of ritual in their life to keep stable, and I think this is a very valuable. So again my business name is Yummy Mummy Emporium and Apothecary. My name is Amandha Vollmer, I never say my name. I realize that people like, why do you ever say I don’t like, I don’t know.
