First Dharma

The body will be involved in excretory action from until dawn. Toward sunrise the cells will transfer some waste material into the body. This has to travel through the blood to the excretory organs and then out of the body. This process requires water. The water you drank last night will not remain in your blood and cells. That goes into the kidneys and then as urine. In the early morning, your body’s water content will be low in the blood. If you can send large quantity of water into the blood, however, the waste material there will transfer into the water and be excreted as urine.

Here you should follow the dharma of water. On getting up from bed gargle with water. Then, without hesitation and at a stretch, drink one liter to a liter and a half of water. This will benefit you in two ways. First, the stomach is filled with water and weighs on the kidney under it. You will feel like urinating. After drinking water, you should concentrate on the lower part of the abdomen and move about in the house for about ten minutes expecting a call of nature. Then there will be a quick movement in your body. Concentration is essential for that. In few minutes you feel you must run to the restroom. As soon as you rush into the bathroom, first you will have a bowel movement (in large quantity in one shot), and then you will pass urine. That means you had a free bowel movement. Then brush your teeth.

The second benefit is that all this water goes into the blood from the stomach, and attracts the waste in the blood, which will be excreted as urine or as sweat as you exercise. That way the large quantity of water that was taken cleanses the blood and helps in free bowel movement.
