Do you know squat?

[Saurabh_D]

Squatting is the most natural way to answer nature's call. How many of you squat?

Here's an excerpt from http://www.hps-online.com/hsquat.htm :

Take a look at nature and you will see that all animals squat to defecate.

Even our closest ancestors, the primates, squat down with their knees drawn up to their chests when 'nature calls'.

What you may not realize, however, is that even today most human beings still defecate in this natural manner, especially in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

It is only in the industrial West, where the modern toilet was invented that people 'sit down' to defecate just as they sit down to eat...and instead of immediately doing what they came there for - to evacuate -, people engage in reading, writing, and other worldly activities.

I tried squatting early on and found it much too uncomfortable. I think with the weight loss and with my exercise it has become much easier. Where I used to squat maybe once in 5 or 7 craps, I find myself squating 5 out of 6 times now.

ah, what a nice way to renew a relationship with an old cleansing friend... on the toilette!


How are you David? I hope well, and happiness. Looking forward to a post-cleansing update so we can talk more there... didn't want to miss the chance here to say hello.

I always squat when in public restrooms,

I was putting my feet up on a package of toilet paper, that is, until it was all gone!

But I can't seem to figure out how to do it right, so now that I've finished the cleanse, I want to figure out how to make something that will work for me, before I injure myself!

When I lived in Kenya, our toilet was cemented so we had to climb up a step and squat. I miss that because that is the natural way to bowel eliminate. Also, my mother used to prop me up on a public toilet seat and others were the opposite from the above because they were not hygienic from that habit I cannot sit on anyone's toilet seat than the one at home. I read in a health book that to get back the use the ancient squatting technique put you feer on a stool and then sit down on the toilet seat

And there are some products mentioned on the HPS site to help you with that too.

Yes,

I meet squat a few years ago.

I built two small blocks that I swing out in front of the toilet and put my legs on. If any of you would like to order some just send me an email and I will build you a custom set for your deficating pleasure.

Now that's a generous offer Thomas. Thanks!

:-)

I hope our cleansing friends take it up... squatting is the way to go, especially once you start out on this cleansing path... any other posture just doesn't make sense, especially since we are doing it daily, sometimes twice daily, forever, every day, for the rest of our life. There are so many numerous benefits that squatting way outways every other alternative... more than half the worlds population squat, it's just a few people in North America and Europe that have taken up a different posture, which has, btw, been detrimental to their health.

Anyway, nice to see the offer, you made my day, thanks THomas.

Peace
Love and light

I might have to take you up on that offer Thomas.
I recently tried the squat and was pleasantly surprised at the outcome
(no pun intended).

Rather than getting up on the toilet, raising the feet seems like a good idea.
But, then again, I'm new and I don't know squat.

This whole thread has given a new meaning to "squatters rights"

peace,
Rick

The only way "to go" as far as I'm concerned. I have simply found a comfortable way to balance on the std western toilet so I've never looked into the blocks or other devices to raise the legs instead. In any event, whatever it takes to achieve correct geometry - just do it!! The benefits are enormous.

Hi there,
I tried squatting when I was doing my formal for the first time. Not good because it was the after-blast and made quite a mess of toilet. I was surprised that I could actually get up on the toilet rim. I am going to try again when I have finished my formal. Apart from the after-blast two days at the start, I haven't had an in-between evacuation.
Love and Blessings,
June

I have been doing squating too but I hate the splashing from the CRAP BOMBS

Malama pono ia kakou,

How do you people squat without falling off of the toilet, causing a slight head injury and making a big ruckus in the loo?!?

Love,
