The Human Digestive System

 

Let everybody sit in a comfortable position. Close your eyes. Take a deep breath and relax. Relax your calf muscles, tighten and relax your leg muscles, tighten and relax your thigh muscles, relax your back bones, relax your neck muscles, relax your jaws, relax your mind.

            Now you are becoming smaller and smaller, and now you are the size of a mustard seed.

            All the way you carry one imaginary light with you since it is very dark inside there.

            Now imagine you are in the Upma prepared by your mother. Then your friend eats the Upma in which you are a mustard seed. Now you enter the mouth of your friend.

Now stick on the top of the mouth and watch how the chewing process is going on, how the food is being crushed between the teeth, how does saliva help in swallowing ? What is the role of the tongue ? How does this help in digesting ? What sound do you hear ? How does it smell in there ?…

            After chewing, the food is swallowed into the throat. Along with it, you move. How is it in the throat ?…

            Now the food is squeezed down the Oesophagus by wavelike muscular contractions. Now how do you feel ? What are the shapes you can see in the Oesophagus ? What are the sounds you can hear ? How does it smell ? How does Oesophagus feels to touch, is it rough, smooth, hard, soft ?

            Now you enter the stomach. It expands like a balloon. Visualize how it churns the food, mixing strong digestive juices to break into smaller particles. See what all acids and enzymes are present in the stomach. What all sounds do you hear while digesting ? How it smells in there ? How does it taste in the stomach ?

            Now you move into the small intestine. Now can you see the liver and pancreas ? What juices they produce ? How they help in digesting further ?

            Now you move through small intestine. See there how the walls of small intestine helps in assimilating the digested food. How does it feel in there ? What all can you visualize ? Can you see any roundworms, flatworms, ringworms…

            Now you are at the entrance of the large intestine. Do you see an organ called appendix there at the entrance which has lost its significance due to lack of grass eating by humans. How does it look like ? What is its color ? How does it feel when touched ? Does it have any smell ?

            Now you move through the large intestine. What all sounds you hear ? What all is there inside the large intestine ? How it helps small intestine in further assimilation of the food…

            Now the waste material is stored in the large intestine. Now you enter one of the air bubbles present in the large intestine. Now you move towards the anus. Can you see the piles (ie., blood vessels surrounding the anus) there. How it feels to be in there ?

            Now with a fart you come out and now you become bigger and bigger and come to your normal size. Now you slowly open your eyes and see how you feel.
