When a person practices any form of meditation he brings down a lot of higher energies which can be used for his own well being and to bless his family, organization, country etc. However it does happen that the physical body cannot absorb all the energy brought down during the meditation even after blessing others. When this happens he experiences a feeling of lethargy, the head and /or the body feels heavy. Over a period of time the person starts feeling extremely tired. This is why he needs to do physical exercises which releases the excess energy.

14. Why physical exercise?
To cleanse and energise the energy body, which also removes any blocks or accumulation of used up energy in any part of the body, especially at the various joints. We need to exercise after the meditation in order to better assimilate the energy we receive during the meditation. This also helps to cleanse and strengthen the physical body and release excess energy. Beyond a point the physical body cannot absorb more energy and the physical exercise removes this excess. When there is excess energy the physical body feels lethargic, tired and in the long run will become weak. Exercise before and after meditation is very important.
