BRAHMA SHIRSHASANA the preferred headstand pose variation

This pose is performed with your fingers not even intertwined(even as you might easily hold them so),with the fingers bent into 2 parts each and touching your middle palms' parts(this simply is my own way of performing it),the palms themselves slightly touching each other and the head itself being AS close to the elbows as possible.At first as you are new to yoga and headstands in particular(this is a harder pose to perform anyway and newcomers to yoga wont be good with it for quite a while)you wont be able to perform it because use of the palms funnily makes headstands a much more realistic thing to achieve,trying to be upon your head being less realistic without touching the head with the palms;with time though if you try to reposition your arms while standing upon your head it will work eventually;but this pose is definitely not for yoga beginners.Even later will you become able(i am capable of doing this right away but then i practise headstands for many years by now)to put yourself into Brahma Shirshasana right away after leaving the floor by your legs.While standing straight upon your head,the elbows must be AS close to the head as possible.Comfort you will find by using your palms to support the head though is simply not the best way to perform it;best is it for beginners;but as 1 develops he might find other aims better and more promising in the general sense.The greatest gain 1 might find in shirshasana is exchange of the direction one's blood flows into;and while your subjects micro body cells well below the skin notice mostly their own affairs and not YOUR ones,such a sudden change of direction of the entire bloodstream flowing through any cell this body has absolutely IS to attract their attention;more,these will change into a completely different mood of action as they observe the change.And what CAN influence us most is always the most basic things provided we CAN replace the set of these with a new 1;safe as it certainly is(it only involves the river that flows through each cell to flow for a change into a completely new direction,say not south to north,but for a bit from north to south),it is capable of weirdly strong reaction of our internal bodily cells(and these are well over 90 % of the organism)to the very same lifestyle we had been just now performing.How do we feel/notice such a change though?Right after a headstand of several minutes(a short 1 wont be strong enough)try your body heat with your own arms/hands and you will notice strong increase of temperature your body had just achieved after you had been just now headstanding.I personally start perspiring strongly right after i just stood upo my head;the body gets hot and sweaty,sweat drops leaving the body(head a lot too)in quantities;salty liquids often get under my eyelids even,producing too salty a sphere my eyse arent already feeling well in.And how did i get that hot if all i did was being in a completely still a position with the head down and legs up?Additional heat might only be produced inside of my internal cells;they reacted so to a new developement of the "river of blood" their state is getting any thing they might ever need down there from replacing the old direction with a new 1.And while Paripurna Shirshasana(what we see as HEADSTAND in any yoga book)isnt capable of making SUCH a deep impression upon lower cells as Brahma Shirshasana can,this particular variation is not interesting brains themselves by touching them(the palms arent even touching the head here),but instead hits the lower bodily cells THEMSELVES by the simple exchange of the direction their local "river of blood" flows by;as such things ONLY are noticed down there,and never any thingies the brains themselves are naturally addicted to.Theres 1 more headstand variation i fail to elaborate here because i myself almost never use it even as it DOES exist-Raja Shirshasana;it is when as you are upon your head with the head itself touching neither the fingers nor the elbows,but wrists(the area of profuse veins collection with never a single bit of fats);i do not find it of much use but i know by now(once in a while i DO use it)that Raja Shirshasana would boost one's wrists' condition and resulting capacity to use muscular activities of many sorts as wrists are roughly speaking the main piece of any muscular man and use of Raja Shirshasana indeed boosts my muscular powers i noticed.I find this Brahma Shirshasana variation more influential to my health than the traditionally explained ways of performing headstands are.This pose is also harder to perform and 1 can hold on to it for considerably less time than the traditionally explained headstand pose variation(i personally,being a seasoned headstands' practitioner,can hold on to standing in Brahma Shirshasana for only around 2 minutes a time),which by this used here a scale is called Vaishya Shirshasana.Headstands are a very useful tool i am much of a specialist is in by now;used in THE variation you wanna benefit from,it might bring you:1)profits the blood might offer(i myself prefer these),2)profits of external muscular system well developed;3)profits of a mountain you'd never find in any other way and achieved by your own physical body only with no mental games even in close proximity;or 4)slowing down of extreme speed limits 1 has to follow to keep up with his brains' needs.And these 4 are only the general variations involved;for diserees of additional profits theres more.Best for myself(proposing this calculation into general use)is to account each sportive action in 1 common scale you can later account the way a worker accounts his money after being paid upon his job;in a certain currency,which for myself is 1 exercise.Another thing about it is that if you try to count the time you spend in this Brahma Shirshasana the index to the traditionally seen in sources variation Paripurna Shirshasana for myself is 3.5 currently,was 1.3 once,had been rising since i started and it will gradually rise up,meaning that as you stay in Brahma Shirshasana for 10 full minutes it will influence your health the very same way 13 minutes or so of Paripurna Shirshasana would add to the health anyway;and i myself always try to count EACH of my exercises in 1 common currency,and 1 unit of such a currency i find to be either 1 simple pushup from the floor or 1 tenth of a headstand minute or else 1 pranayama round i perform.Even as i am a seasoned headstands' practitioner i manage to hold on to this Brahma Shirshasana pose for 2 minutes at the most while normal Paripurna Shirshasana can be held for twice that time without any complications.The reason for this is as the MAIN body part,that finds itself under considerable pressure here is NOT the hands/palms,as traditionally headstands propose engaging(engaging the hands actually promotes headstands and makes that pose longer),but instead the backbone and the neck,their muscles,which will be holding about ALL the body weight upon itself ONLY then;hands and arms left behind and mostly not participating.Specifically after Brahma Shirshasana use i find my backbone surrounding muscles overstretched/exhausted;this headstand variation can be held on to for much smaller amounts of time and the main reason for it is no use of arms/hands to support the corpus;backbone muscles themselves are not THAT efficient in holding the weight of the body straight.And as getting the largest pressure these 2(neck and backbone surrounding muscles)will also be getting the largest final increase in prowess and capacities resulting.Even as starting yoga practise once long ago with a considerable backbone condition wasting my health down,i managed to not only reverse the situation into the other direction of general health improvement,but to later improve my general condition with no backaches at all attached nowadays;and use of headstands/Shirshasana pose was absolutely 1 of the main weapons i had been using for this end.The smaller amounts of time you will be holding on to this pose are explained with ONLY the backbone itself holding all of the body weight upon itself and hands never participating in the exercise at all.Even just to account ALL the headstand minutes i practise daily(i am pretty precise in accounting those)i count 10 minutes of Brahma Shirshasana as 15 minutes of Paripurna Shirshasana variation because the Brahma 1 makes a this much a larger influence upon the overall health and 1 better counts such efforts/achievements.The Nasa Shirshasana index so is 1.2 and the Shudra Shirshasana index so is 1.3;all of the 4 headstand pose variations(and those i perform daily are:Paripurna,Brahma,Shudra and Nasa Shirshasanas)are better used sometimes as each of those adds a new aspect to the overall health of not only the backbone itself,but to other health aspects as well.Accounting ALL of those times/exercises in ''1 single currency'' simply makes you engage SO much more into practising headstands that it IS worth the time you would be spending upon accounting those half fake and obviously simply presumed headstand minutes.I must also mention here that headstands in general and this Brahma Shirshasana variation in particular are a very strong tool 1 may use towards healing away backbone conditions 1 might be possessing because what REALLY is responsible for such backbone conditions is injured/weak and behaving incorrectly backbone,and such a radical pressure,applied to the backbone's muscles,as in the said here poses can achieve is exactly what headstands do to people.Brahma Shirshasana is a harder variation of headstand pose and will be achieved only after some time in Paripurna Shirshasana,and this is the most commonly known as Shirshasana variation of this main yoga pose,the 1,where you see yogis holding their legs straight up with hands over the head.Even as normally THE main actor in headstands is certainly one's arms that then hold the body weight by their own prowess only,i personally find that it is better to rather engage into such work the backbone upon its own self as it makes the body ITSELF get further developement in this simple way,avoiding engaging into it the arms and hands,and the REAL use of headstands is no rich blood inflax to your hands(and this is why Handstand is popular nowadays even as it is never mentioned in any of the older classical books about yoga)but instead rich and under high blood pressure blood supply to your brain the root of the human body tree and the central/main human body part,this really important event being the directly opposite movement of the blood through the body and not any arms practising as it traditionally is proposed into action;and i mean Handstand pose here.You will find that it is MUCH easier to perform a headstand with your fingers both intertwined and touching your head(Vaishya Shirshasana as i call this variation)though.Yet it is not the final and the best for use shirshasana pose variation.The most gaining body parts are naturally the ones,most suffering during its performance,and when you see that the backbone suffers the most(this IS the case with Brahma Shirshasana)you can be certain that it also GAINS from that pose the most.And when your internal body pieces earn more than external do you will know it is the BEST course of many;this is EXACTLY how do i believe that Brahma Shirshasana is the best headstand pose variation.The traditionally seen in yoga books/sources headstand pose is Vaishya Shirshasana with the fingers intertwined and touching the head from behind and the fact that it is seen so for the most part never means that the variation shown there is the best of different ones;all it does mean is that this society likes it the most and people almost never 100 % correct in whatever is it do they claim.Specialists in about every science will tell you that for each of them there is a serious difference among different variations of the theme explained;so exactly is it with headstands,which can be of several variations,each of which makes a specific impression upon your health and to gain this or that a specific result from them 1 must practise the appropriate headstand pose variation.This Brahma Shirshasana variation is harder to perform than what 1 normally sees in yoga information sources,it always is more intense in performance,takes from you more of power as you try to accomplish it,and takes so somewhat less time from you for holding on to it as you simply will NOT be able to hold on to it for THAT long a time amount as the other shirshasana variations' performance show.I though find this exact variation to be the best of several as it tends to exert the MOST basic and important bodily parts of yours,namely the backbone and the muscles that support it;not to mention the main gains from the headstands reciever the brain itself,which also feels better exactly after Brahma Shirshasana;in other variations parts engaged are either the hands or the neck;but in this 1 nothing is more under pressure of the gravitational power of Earth(and this IS what makes the largest influence headstands show)than the backbone itself.You will be able to perform Brahma Shirshasana pose only after some time,spent in other,easier performed,shirshasana pose variations,and there ARE a few of those too.There is also the Shudra Shirshasana headstand pose variation;in it 1 holds the entire body weight upon his own fingers,which plus either 1)several layers of towels or else 2)a couple of layers of thin blankets are the only border between the fingers and the stone floor then.The Shudra Shirshasana must be performed very carefully as it is capable of putting THAT hard a pressure upon your fingers as to make them suffer seriously and sometimes even the skin of your fingers can crack open,exposing your inner fingers' flesh.The effect DID happen to me a couple of times and it brings with itself complete unability to perform headstands afterwards till the very day your fingers would heal completely and naturally.Even AFTER the natural healing of your fingers is finally completed the skin upon the spot that witnessed cracking the fingers' cover open will forever remain more rough,less childlike and more aged-man-like;so be very careful with pressure to your fingers.The simple reason to yet keep performing Shudra Shirshasana is because unlike other headstand pose variations it can interestingly solve your intellectual/mental/psychological issues arising with a MUCH better efficiency than any other shirshasana pose variations possibly can.So much so that this specific headstand variation Shudra Shirshasana is even a better weapon to oust complications,arising from intellectual exhaustion or else undesired mental and psychological effects of our life,than Paripurna Shirshasana is(Paripurna term means the most basic variation,available from every source you might find that holds no additional complications whatsoever).As i find myself under TOO much psychological pressure this life around makes upon me,i prefer this exact Shudra Shirshasana variation,which solves my mental complications much better that any other exercise possible,other Shirshasana pose variations included.
