Agni

AGNI- FIRE ELEMENT, THE SECOND OF THE FIVE BASIC ELEMENTS  IN THE BODY; REGULATES TEMPERATURE,PERFORMANCE ,DIGESTION, ABSORPTION AND ASSIMILATION IF INGESTED FOOD, AND TRANSFORMS FOOD INTO ENERGY OR CONSCIOUSNESS 

.

Signs of balanced Agni 

• Vibrant energy

• Clear and glowing skin 

• Mental clarity 

• Feeling into the sensation of hunger 

• Consistent and regular bowel movements and well formed stools

If you feel tired after a meal, it is a sign of weak digestion. It’s like you have added a log to a weak flame, now energy needs to be used to burn through the log and reset the fires  

A few ways you can start to increase your digestive fire and improve your digestion, absorption and assimilation are:

• Start your day with warm water  not cold

• Sip on hot water throughout the day 

• Avoid drinking ice cold beverages as these extinguish digestive flame

• Avoid drinking large amounts of liquids-with meals 

• Make lunch your bigger and main meal of the day - this is when the sun energy is strongest and digestive fire is highest

•
