Power Digestion
Fig. 1 Envisioning the Vajra Shovel
Many students have requested more details on digestion yoga, so we will now outline basic procedureses and Ethics!
We have already mentioned the importance of food inhalation. However, perhaps even more essential is the preparation and purification of the mind and body before, during, and after the practice session.
*Preliminary stretching of the neck, gums, and tongue muscles is essential. See instructions on Chameleon Posture below.
Step 1. Apporach: After stretching, approach your food in a straight line. Always keep in mind the illusory nature of tangible earthly goods, and focus your single-pointed attention on the food. If it seems to move, maintain your position of direct confrontation until the image of the food stabilizes.
Step 2. Constructing the Digestive Mandala: Circle the food in a counterclockwise spiral several times. Envision your mouth as the Vajra Shovel and plunge into the food, scooping with the lower jaw. Snuffle loudly to activate your sensory organs to their highest awareness. (See fig. 1)
Step 3. Purification of the Mandala: Maintain a power trot to the purification site. Adopt meditation pose and count breaths until your body is cleansed of all impurities. Perform ritual burial of said impurities by ceremoniously whisking the site and recitation of the Nose Jewel Mantra (Snor Snee Snu Hum).
Return to step one and repeat the exercise.
After the meditation session, it is very important to engage in cleansing ceremonies to clear one's mind and purify the body in preparation for worldly activities. See previous section on Chameleon Posture.
Next time: Applying SnaggleYoga to Our Relationships: We will discuss the basic pattern for perceiving other beings with total equanimity and distributing the Diamond Mucous equally to all.

Useful Informational Resources
The following sources will aid even the most inexperienced student in attaining a fundemental grasp of principles underlining SnazzerciseTM and thereby accelerating the educational processeses:
Information about chameleons and chameleon care. Illness,caring,feeding,buying and other resources such as cages,enclosures,reptariums. www.chameleonsonline.com
Chameleon is a distributed, highly configurable, environment for developing Web Mapping applications. It is built on MapServer as the core mapping engine operating out of The Chameleon Restaurant in Temple Bar, Dublin, Ireland specialising in Indonesian cuisine with secondary headquarters at Chameleon Interiors, based in Masschusetts • designer of custom pillows and other handcrafted items. Chameleons (family Chamaeleonidae) are squamates that belong to one of the best-known lizard families. The word chameleon is the latinized form of the Ancient Greek χαμαιλέων. Chameleon is also the current name of the Legion of Super-Heroes member Chameleon Boy. Almost half of the world’s chameleon species live on the island of Madagascar. Contrary to popular belief, chameleons cannot display limitless colors. However, Snaggle recommends spending at least 5 minutes of every hour in the Chameleon Posture (see illustrations below) to increase physical flexibility and concentrative powers. Meditative soundscape aids can be found at http://plantshaman.com/mckenna.html.

In which Snaggle Commenceses to snuffle
It has come to Snaggle's attention that many people are need of a good baggling these days, and upon the magnanimous hostings and postings (and toastings, mmmmm! crunch crunch slurrrrp! with jam!) of Rose's illustrious parent-enlightening blog by said Snaggle, said Snaggle has hit upon the delectable idea of blogging his snaggliferous snarglings to the world at large. We hopes that these superior discussionseses will facilitate, capacitate, and palpate the spread of Snaggle thought, Snaggle yoga (a.k.a. SnazzerciseTM, for a complete listing of publications and educational resources please send a self-addressed postage paid envelope to Snaggle, C/O Barrett Yoga and Arts Cooperative, 921 W. King St, Carson City NV 89703) and Snaggle actions worldwide. Whereupon Snaggle dispenseses the following preliminary advisions:
1. For a good start to the day, a good snuffling is paramount. Repeat continuously to relieve stress and facilitate mucus production. If using a computer or other device that requires brain power, Snaggle recommends a snuffle break with self-massage every 15 minutes to reduce muscle cramping of the cerebral region.
2. Food should be inhaled, using a snorkel to facilitate breathing for novices who have yet to master the art of SNOTT (self nasal operated tube technique) for circular breathing below food surface. For more information on SNOTT instruction and certification in your area, please send a self-addressed postage paid envelope to the previously listed address above.
3. Toastable items should be spread with gooey substance at all times and eaten regularly with tea-like items. Apart from this, all foods should be eaten raw.
4. Regular mantra practice is important for concentration and creative output or input. Beginners can start with the the simple breath-related "Snorrtt, wheeeze, snorrrrt, wheeeze" while more advanced practitioners may prefer the occasional backwards sneeze-walk for extra purification and mental clarification benefits. For more information on SnaggleMantraTM workshops and private tutorials in your area, please email Snaggle at snagglemail@hotmail.com.
Next time we will continue with elementary meditative techniqueseses, or any requested subjectses. To make requests, send a self-addressed stamped envelope to the moon. Or postses a comment. Muffins are on the menu from here on out!
