Development of Life Energy

Any addiction towards tobacco or smoking proves extremely detrimental to our Life energy. Not only the smoker himself, but also the people who come into his surroundings become victim to the harmful effects of the smoke. While smoking in room, the nicotine level increases in the blood of the smoker. Within a mere twenty minutes, exactly the same level of nicotine is observed in the blood of the people present in that room as well. Even gazing at the picture of a smoker diminishes one’s Life energy. The life energy of a person standing within ten feet of an X-ray machine is also diminished. The attendants of patients going for X-ray should be careful enough to enwrap themselves in a protective coat.

Effect of Food on Our Life Energy: Bread, biscuits, sweets, synthetic refined foods and overcooked foods also deplete our Life Energy (the more foods are processed, “the less, if any, life energy will remain inn them”). The food consumed by us nowadays is not as beneficial as we think it to be. We eat it because we have become used to it. People normally think: ‘Well, a little sugar will not hurt me; a little alcohol will do no harm.’ – Thus they develop a habit. But the consumption of even a small quantity can also produce the same harmful effect. This fact can be substantiated by measuring the life energy of a person after placing some sugar in his mouth. You will definitely find the life energy substantially greater. Dr. Diamond proved this fact through experimentation that the consumption of refined sugar etc. depletes the life energy of a person, whereas, the consumption of natural products like fruits, vegetables etc. helps in boosting one’s life energy.

The artificially prepared, tested and packaged honey under various will known bran names is not as useful as natural honey. Various chemicals are used in order to purify sugar cane juice in sugar factories and these chemicals are harmful to the body.

In our country, millions and billions of rupees are spent on the production of synthetic food products and cigarettes etc. the end result is disadvantageous only we cook our natural vegetable in such a wrong way that we destroy their natural nutrients.

The Effect of Body Posture: Those who sit, stand, walk or sleep in a careless manner, apart form looking odd, expend more of their life energy. Managing one’s physical posture while performing every task helps in conserving the Life Energy. People, who sit or walk with a stooped or hunch-back, reduce their life energy. If the same person is made to sit with their spine erect and neck and head in a straight line, their life energy is bound to increase.

On sleeping with your head towards the East or South your develop your life energy, whereas keeping your head towards the East or South you develop your life energy, whereas keeping your head towards the west or North diminishes the life energy.
