A daily program of brisk walking in the morning when the dew is on the ground is the best kind of exercise, according to Cayce, for “it is using the energies that enable the body to produce better eliminations of toxic forces” (3155-2). Apparently, there is a higher vibrational energy at that time of day. The oxygen and ozone in the fresh, outdoor air keep the blood flow balanced through the lungs, heart, liver, and kidneys.

The colon is also much happier with some form of regular exercise, such as walking or bicycling. Biking helps massage the colon as the thighs alternately press on the ascending and descending colon.

Cayce generally recommended that vertical exercises and deep breathing be done first thing in the morning to bring more oxygen into the lungs in preparation for the activities of the day. (During sleep, the breath normally becomes very light and shallow.) A vertical exercise is any circular or stretching movement of the head, neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, or waist when standing or sitting.

Horizontal mat exercises were advised to help normalize circulation and take the strain off of blood vessels in the legs after working all day. Dr. Harold J. Reilly, in The Edgar Cayce Handbook for Health through Drugless Therapy, says that the following horizontal exercises will help reduce the abdomen and stimulate the organs in that area. “They also help to tighten the muscles, to control the forming of pockets or diverticulitis in the large colon, and to correct constipation” (p. 132, large paperback edition).

He recommends beginning any exercise program by doing each exercise six times, then increasing by two each week until totaling twelve. It is vitally important to coordinate the breath with each movement.
