Everybody filled their plates with the warm porridge and went to the dining room to eat their dinner. They blessed their meal following Elisa’s instructions and digged in.  “So grandma, tell me what do I need to do to get one of those spatial artifacts?” “I’ll need to think about it. I haven’t seen how talented you are yet so it’s hard for me to come up with a challenging request for you to earn it.” “You already have an extra one?!” Elisa looked at him with a sparkle in her eyes. So he caught up on it really quickly. He is very observant to detail and quick witted. He actually might be extremely talented in magic and energy manipulation.  “Of course child, who do you think this old lady is? However I hadn’t intended on giving them away. I earned them by risking my life and was planning on using them to reward outstanding talents in the sect.” Teo was amazed. She had more than one! She had several extra! So there might be one for him and Mosi as well.  “So if I become or demonstrate I’m an outstanding talent you’ll give me one? What would count as an outstanding talent?” “Now now, you are getting ahead of yourself. Let’s first see how talented you are and then we’ll discuss if you can earn it or not. You both finished with dinner? Let’s clean up and then we’ll talk about tomorrow before going to sleep. You’ll need a good night’s rest for what’s coming tomorrow.”  Mosi and Teo cleaned the table together. They washed, dried and put away the dishes as well. After leaving everything immaculately clean they both visited the bathroom. All day long without going once besides when they woke up was pushing their limits. After that they went to the living room to hear their grandma’s instructions for tomorrow.  “Okay kids, before going further, do either of you have any questions in regards what I’ve told you throughout the day?” Teo looked at his brother, he was sure they both had questions. But what was the point in asking them? All questions would surely be answered in due time no doubt.  Mosi noticed Teo looking at him and said “Even if we have questions wouldn’t they be answered as we progress in our training. The more we get into your world the easier it will be to understand it won’t it?”  “Yes you’re right. Besides talking more about those things here wouldn’t be wise. It’s best that if you still have questions when we reach the safehouse you ask them there.” Elisa looked at both them and smiled lovingly. I’m really glad I got to finally meet my grandkids. Now it’s up to me to teach them everything with the few years I have left. Why didn’t you pass on your knowledge Carmen? Even if you didn’t why would your husband agree?  “Regarding tomorrow and the rest of the week you both will have to work very hard. From now on and until the day you day you will keep the same routine. Although you still don’t know the practice to start working towards awakening your first chakra this week you will start getting used to this routine.”  “What will we have to do grandma? From tomorrow until the day we die? So for the rest of our lives then?” “Yes, for the rest of your lives you’ll start waking up every single day before dawn. Around 4 a.m. is the best time to start. After waking up you’ll cleanse your tongue with this.” She handed both brothers a piece of metal that had a “U” shape. She then took out another one and demonstrated how to do it without actually doing it.  “You’ll hold on to the sides with both hands and press firmly on your tongue while scraping it outwards. This way you’ll get the toxins your body collected in your tongue through the night out. Let me see you try right now, it’s not important you do it particularly firmly now. I just want to see if you understood.” Both brothers tried and showed Elisa how they would do it. She was satisfied and kept on telling them what to do. “After scraping your tongue clean you’ll then heat up water to drink. You’ll drink a glass of warm, almost hot, water. Then another one with the juice of one lemon and a small amount of baking soda. You’ll spend at least a year drinking the second glass with baking soda. If after the first year I consider your condition to be good enough you’ll be able to substitute the baking soda for honey.”  “Grandma, we don’t have baking soda or lemons at home as I told you this morning.” “Worry not, I have plenty. I’ll leave two lemons out in the kitchen every night before going to bed and I’ll leave some baking soda beside it so you can help yourselves when preparing your second glass of warm water.” “What’s a small amount of baking soda? Half a spoonful?” “Yes, that would be ok but use a coffee spoon for that. It’s important you drink the water while it’s still hot. You should boil the water and then fill half a glass or a bit less with boiling water. Then you’ll pour some room temperature water to fill the rest. When preparing the lemon water you’ll squeeze the lemons after pouring the room temperature water and the baking soda after that.”  “We have drank hot beverages very rarely. I think we could probably count the times we’ve both drank them in one hand.” said Mosi slightly preoccupied by the fact that they would have to start doing so daily form now on.  “Don’t worry about it. You’ll get used to it in no time. After all, your bodies will appreciate what you're doing even if you don’t realize it quickly.”  “After drinking both glasses of warm water what should we do?” asked Teo with and obvious thirst for knowledge. He was sure he would be able to earn one of those spatial objects. He just needed proper guidance to demonstrate his drive and ability.  “After that you both will do some breathing exercises. This exercises are called pranayama and have 3 parts or types to them. The first is Purak, the second is Kumbhak, and the third is Rechak. Breathing is the key to absorbing energy. These basic exercises I’ll teach you now will help prepare your mind and body for the intense practice that will begin once we arrive at the safehouse.” After saying this Elisa proceeded to show them 2 different exercises. “So Purak breathing in, Kumbhak is holding the breath and Rechak is breathing out, right?” Teo asked after seeing Elisa’s demonstration. “Very good! Yes you’re right. That’s precisely what they are. These two exercises I showed you today are the most basic. Tomorrow night before going to sleep I’ll show you one more. But for tomorrow's morning practice these two will suffice. Now show me the exercises I just demonstrated.”  Both kids showed her and she corrected them. After a while she was content with how they were doing it and asked if they had any doubts so far. “No doubts, seems pretty straightforward. After doing theses things is there anything else we’ll have to do?” Mosi was worried about his job. Even if he wasn’t going to keep on working he still should let Mr. Fernandez know. “Yes after you finish all this things the sun should be rising. You’ll then eat some fruit, but just a little, mind you. And after eating the fruit we’ll go outside to the garden. There our intense practice will begin.”
