Why do Sun Salutation?
This is probably the first question that comes to most of us. Sun Salutation is important for two reasons. One, it can be a great workout for the whole body – stretching, flexing and toning the muscles, an excellent exercise for weight loss. It also offers numerous health benefits beyond the physical level, relaxing the mind, leading it to meditation. Two, Sun Salutation gives us an opportunity to express gratitude to the sun, without which life on earth would be impossible!

What is Earthing?
Earthing involves coupling your body to the Earth’s eternal and gentle surface energies. It means walking barefoot outside and/or sitting, working or sleeping inside while connected to a conductive device that delivers the natural healing energy of the Earth into your body. For more than ten years, thousands of people around the world—men, women, children, and athletes—have incorporated Earthing into their daily routines. The results have been documented and they are extraordinary.
You are not in any sense being electrocuted. Earthing is among the most natural and safest things you can do.
What happens?
Your body becomes suffused with negative-charged free electrons abundantly present on the surface of the Earth. Your body immediately equalizes to the same electric energy level, or potential, as the Earth.
What do you feel?
Sometimes, a warm, tingling sensation and often feelings of ease and well-being.
Will you feel better?
Usually, yes, and often rapidly. The …improvement varies from person to person. The important thing is to make Earthing a long-term addition to your daily routine, and to do it as much as possible so as to gain maximum benefits. When Earthing is stopped, symptoms tend to slowly return.
What does Earthing do?
Observations and research indicate the following benefits from Earthing; we expect many more to emerge with ongoing studies. Earthing:
• Defuses the cause of inflammation, and improves or eliminates the symptoms of many inflammation-related disorders.
• Reduces or eliminates chronic pain.
• Improves sleep in most cases.
• Increases energy.
• Lowers stress and promotes calmness in the body by cooling down the nervous system and stress hormones.
• Normalizes the body’s biological rhythms.
• Thins blood and improves blood pressure and flow.
• Relieves muscle tension and
Lessens hormonal and menstrual symptoms.
• Dramatically speeds healing and helps prevent bedsores.
• Reduces or eliminates jet lag.
• Protects the body against potentially health-disturbing environmental electromagnetic fields (EMFs).
• Accelerates recovery from intense athletic activity.

If you are on the beach and you only have ten minutes…
That is before you go for a run…
or simply bask in the sun sipping on some lemon and mint infused spring water…
or sipping on…
Well, anyway try this:
Set your timer on your stopwatch or phone for ten minutes and perform the following as many round as
many rounds as possible.
50 jumping jacks
15 body weight squats
15 push-ups or knee push-ups
15 reverse lunges per side
15 cobra or Upward Facing Dog to Downward Facing Dog Transitions
Note: Some research has suggested that a short blast of intense exercise can boost metabolism for the entire day more effectively than a workout that’s slow and steady. And other doctors stress that a regular exercise practice, even if it’s just 10 minutes, can have a lasting impact on heart health and mental acuity, NPR reports.
