Emotions, Immunity and Illness of Employees
Everyone (medical science) speaks about immunity and diseases that lack of immunity invite diseases. Its truth, i know, but another eternal truth is lack of emotionalism. Behind immunity the role of emotion is very powerful and important. I have a lot of case studies where i found this truth. During extreme emotional fluctuations, digestive or intestinal activity become less, immunity comes down because hormonal secretion get disturbed. Even during abnormal hormonal secretions, blood circulation, nerves and muscles become weak. Here are some medi yogic & meditative exercises which may build-up your emotions.

When your entire back touches the floor, straighten the knees, take a deep breath and slowly lower your legs to the ground while breathing out.
