PINDASANA

Pinda is the way an unborn human being is situated in his mother's womb;also with the legs upwards and bent right above his head,just that your legs here are crossed in Padmasana,and not simply covering your head uncrossed as when you are in your mother's womb.The original position of a not yet born baby is what Ardha Pindasana shows-with legs up,bent in the knees,which try to protect the head of the unborn baby from whatever was it its mother had to come through in our anscient history,when dinosaurs and other wild animals were the deadly for us humans predators,feeding upon us as a delicasy,just the way french up untill now feed upon frogs' legs. HOW TO DO It is when you are in Padmasana the lotus pose while in Viparita Karani pose simultaneously,both the poses done in 1 single approach.Best 1)first get into Padmasana(this is also for beginners as they are weaker and less capable even as:2)when you get into Padmasana already being legs up head down, and 2)is better influencing the health in general.For the harsher variation 2)lay down opon your back and rise your legs vertically with your wrists holding the legs from downwards by the thighs' large bones,situated RIGHT above the buttocks;this is Viparita Karani pose.Now bend both of your 2 legs in the knees and perform in this Viparita Karani also Padmasana the lotus pose;1 who is well practised in yoga can do this pretty easily,but novices in yoga would prefer to:1)FIRST begin with Padmasana,and only THEN put the legs,which are in Padmasana already,up into the air and then over the head itself.It is also performed otherwise,when while sitting in Padmasana you lay down upon your back face up and after this,pushing with both your hands,propell your lower body parts(which are by now in Padmasana)up into the vertical above the head position.This pose becomes Pindasana when you have both of your hands cover your bent in Padmasana legs from both sides(fingers better interlocked together,but can be simply covering the knees as well)and somewhat pushing them inwards towards your stomach,but slightly and never radically;till the moment such pressure becomes uncomfortable.In each of yoga poses it is best to feel comfortable and satisfied with the pose and its effect;no displeasure is allowed for those,who aim at nicer effects from their yoga practises.Once displeased or uncomfortable with any pose 1 nice day you simply will NOT return to it,which effect is to carefully be avoided-yoga is a boon we must cherish as it boosts the health strongly and upon its more important an internal level.At its best performance each pose must please the practitioner and never bring him any discomfort,even as beginners might wanna force the final result upon themselves,the resulting effect of such an overexertion is never that good,sometimes even bringing with itself somewhat injured body parts;i heard stories about some yogis trying a pose and later unable to use the involved in it joints/limbs at all for a considerable time while as that pose managed to injure the entire joint somewhat.Even if you might wanna find the yes awaiting you results possibly sooner,the effects simply arent good with this then and the best option here is just to await the natural increase of mastery over a pose.I find this Pindasana pose 1 of my favourite and most practised ones that i simply like better than other ones.It is influencing BOTH the correct blood redistribution towards your upper body each topsy-turvy pose offers AND the stomach's blood pressure increase too,the digestive body parts making for a very considerable part of each human being's circulation;and this simultaneous pretty radical an action in 2 different directions(blood gathering in quantities around the brain AND strongly increased physical pressure the stomach's digestive organs experience then too)IS the secret behind the large influence this pose can have upon you.Blood is having enough of its influence upon us even when it either increases the brain's blood pressure or that of the stomach and having the 2 going hand in hand together is even a stronger weapon to wield in practising up/boosting the health of the body;this is why this pose is 1 of my own favourite ones as it hits the body from different sides simultaneously.Be careful to stop the pressurizing your stomach with your heels(you will be lowering your legs in Padmasana into your abdomen with pressurizing it)AS soon as you develop heavy breathing in the pose/and or any other discomfort ensuing.If you fail to do this leaving a pose you are performing at the moment the increased internal activity will simply burn out all of your power very quickly and THIS result is better avoided at all costs.The very art of not only every exercise we do,but also every other action we do daily as well is to affect the working currently body part(and no aim we seem to follow then at all)to its utmost without injuring it,then after percieving the correct moment the action has just gone overactive and injurious/exhausting us,to slow down and leave the pose/action at the correct moment without overexerting the body and its parts.This effect of overworking the body over its allowable limits is EXACTLY why most people that try yoga tend to never return to it and then relinquish yoga altogether.So just to be sure you WOULD be back to yoga(its profits are significant)never ever overexert yourself doing poses-displeasure with yoga will definitely bring you to relinquishing this very valuable health mechanism.Yoga is never for tiring off quickly,but instead for gradual increase of your physical capacities;this result can be only achieved with correct management of each pose,and thats means achieving no considerable exhaustion while finding pleasure and comfort as performing well planned physical action.You will be back to yoga ONLY if you find pleasure or comfort in it,so always try to find those while doing yoga exercises.I always practise this Pindasana pose or Embrio Pose as it is translated into english from sanskrit the original language of the older times' texts(as any other 1 too btw)ONLY till heavy breathing appears.If you can always stop pressing your legs into your stomach(thats just how Pindasana works the most and the best)as you develop heavy breathing and then await gradual return to normal condition while still standing in Viparita Karani(or simply releasing your pressurizing of upon your bent legs too),wait till you are able to press your legs back into your stomach again and then return to pressing your legs into the belly again as thing increases the effect,taken out of this pose additionally.To this effect it is best to await the HEALTHY CONDITION you will definitely be able to find in yourself once you stop pressurizing the stomach with your heels;this is simply the BEST way of action,and just the way it is with many things too,once you can perform a specific technological process correctly the success IS awaiting you,and correct performance of a specific yoga pose is definitely such a complicated technological process 1 must be a master of to do well in yoga.I personally account to several/up to 10 times i AM capable to pressurize inwards in that way my stomach,then releasing the pressure upon my hands and so accordingly upon my stomach too and then awaiting this return of my HEALTHY sound CONDITION;this additional pressing of it inwards with both of your heals increases the effect this pose has upon you.If able to return to normal condition after the heavy breathing HAD been just achieved try to repeat the stomach pressurizing again and again for such a better final result without leaving the Viparita Karani pose(the 1,where your legs point upwards and the palms support them from below by the buttocks).Numerous repetition of the inwards pressurizing of the stomach is the sign that you ARE good in Pindasana.Unlike in so many complicated subjects it is VERY simple to confirm your successes here and no complicated point need to be taken into consideration.It is also good and even the best to try to divert the crossed in Padmasana legs to each of the 2 sides after Pindasana pose making as such diversified actions additionally practise the muscles that are close to the main acting in Pindasana ones.Like this at first i take the legs to the left till i reach heavy breathing(after which 1 must stop for a break immidiately till the easy breathing does return,myself returning to Pindasana),after which i perform what traditional books call Pindasana,and after this i take my Padmasana crossed legs rightwards again only till heavy breathing is achieved once again,the main direction of the body's middle part going outwards from the current 1 and never inwards);then i return to Pindasana,then the Padmasana crossed legs movement to the left and the cycle is to repeat in this way till you are finally tired of it and would be better doing some other poses/relaxation(you will feel this moment right away),but ONLY untill you get exhausted of the poses,mentioned here-Pindasana itself and the bent legs' diversions to the left and then to the right;the decisive exhaustion then must be followed by either 1)Shavasana the relaxation pose for weaker individuals or 2)other but definitely new and unrelated poses for stronger people that can suffer through many yoga poses done 1 after 1 without serious exhaustion;such a better condition IS awaiting 1 that spends certain amounts of time for yoga daily.Each yoga follower must try to follow the best routine for his own self and such a best for him routine involves performing poses he likes and finds bringing him the best results.No strict rules 1 has to follow in yoga do ever exist;the best variation for everyone is somewhat different and he must find his best form of exercising himself.Do never play with the REAL capacities your body does show in the form of exhaustion as this is EXACTLY when you have to stop and leave ANY pose AS soon as tired of it/would be better with relaxation;my own experience shows me that this is the best course even as otherwise willing to proceed on mentally.Refusal to listen to exhaustion your body shows will definitely worsen its final condition,then lessen the profits 1 gets from yoga as exercises are stopped being practised and none is interested in this.Except for the traditional Paripurna Pindasana(with the legs in Padmasana pose all along it)there is an easier variation of this pose too;even as i never see it in any yoga books i practise it myself as a separate pose pretty often,finding it a useful even as a less influencing me pose.This Ardha Pindasana pose is even more reminding the position of a newly forming human being as it is still inside of his mother's womb because in this exact pose babies are in the womb of the mother.Paripurna Pindasana(the way the pose is generally shown in yoga books)is this very same Ardha Pindasana pose,but when in the Ardha Pindasana pose,as you cross your legs into Padmasana the Lotus Pose next,you are already in the Paripurna Pindasana variation.So to be in Ardha Pindasana while laying down face upwards you get your legs up,then bend them in the knees and approach the knees to your face,all along trying to keep your backbone possibly straighter.I also add to the block of Pindasana pose variations bending the corpus with the bent by now legs(while in each of either Paripurna Pindasana or Ardha Pindasana poses)first to the left and then(you must stop turning sidewards when developing heavy breathing and not a moment before though)to the right.Such additional sidewards movements add to developement of muscles that surround your legs and backbone.Adding though to their flexibility keeps your backbone well balanced and developed and wards off the well known by the old age enemy of your body stiffness of your entire corpus and inflexibility of the bones and joints because stiffness develops with no corpus movements very naturally and by introducing weird sidewards movements of your corpus you give practise to the otherwise stable and unmoving body parts and they DO need such movements at least sometimes.In our anscient lives as we were once our long gone predecessors lower animals long ago each of our muscles and bones had a very ample opportunity to exercise as MOST of our times in our previous births(we ARE born again in our kids actually)we were engaged in collecting grocery in forests the way wild apes are busy averagely even nowadays.The memoirs of Caesar the old times' emperor of Rome and a very successful military leader(those describe in detail his military adventures throughout Europe)mention that most or well over 50 % of what now is Europe had been 1 wild forest in those times and the times were almost exactly 2000 years ago,right before Jesus Christ was born.And we former apes had been busy then or even before it with nothing else but groceries' collection from forests that ruled the world around us.Movements around forests though are destined to keep your corpus in a correct condition.Such things impossible now,we still have to exercise the body no less than we did in those times simply to keep them in a good enough condition.The currently ruling human bodies curved backbone conditions with suffering of the nervous paths through it and scoliosis a serious developement of those are very well warded off by such exact sideways movements of your corpus(and any other bodily exercises too just we are almost never engage those)and if you practise these consistently those illnesses will not be ever bothering you.So as done with Ardha Pindasana pose(it comes as the body is finally tired of it and starts to ache),first turn your entire body left till it cannot go any further or else you start breathing heavily,then return to the position with your legs right above your head;in this position i always lower down my legs and sometimes even try to press them into the abdomen untill heavy breathing develops;and then turn the entire body rightwards but also only till you reach finally heavy breathing,which always marks the very spot,from which you need to return to your simpler poses that are not followed by heavy breathing.After this i return to pressing my legs into the abdomen,then turning the entire body leftwards etc as i find this exact way of the exercise moovements the best.1 though might find that another way of moving the body around is better for him and that exact way he prefers will indeed be the best for him,but i find this exact way the best for myself.Pindasana is 1 of my own favourite yoga poses,it stretches the body to the outmost,it isnt an easy task.Another remote to correctness(traditional texts all are filled with such thingies)sense of pindasana is also translated as pin+dasahana;pin being dick in hebrew and dashana being 10 fingers in sanskrit.Why the 2 are mentioned is anyone's guess.

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.The entire point of this specific variation of headstands is to hold the weight not upon your arms' power,but instead with the power your basics like backbone and attached to it muscles provide as this engages these more basic bodily functions better and my idea is that the more basic things engaged the better for the entire health the result later will be.Some 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 ever way to perform it;best is it for beginners;but as 1 develops further 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(us being the body brains mostly)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.While i do different headstand variations each day this particular Brahma Shirshasana variation is the heaviest of them all to perform/do and as i spend in other headstand types of pose like 90 % of my headstand time this 1 always takes from me like minimal time because it is a way too hard to accomplish a pose;a normal headstand piece takes from me like 3 to 6 minutes a try,around 10 to 15 approaches/attempts each day;THIS 1 though takes from me no longer than 2.5 minutes once or twice each day,SUCH a hardship does it bring me.That is because use of palms always eases the pose down while use of backbone muscles only(THIS is specific for Brahma Shirshasana)makes pose especially hard to perform well.1 though should aim at larger investments into things,most basic like blood,backbone etc as these are,simply speaking,killers of human beings number 1;all the social statistics show exactly THIS a tendency.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 the Shudra Shirshasana variation at first,which solves my mental complications much better that any other exercise possible,other Shirshasana pose variations included.This pose makes the largest effect your lower levels might find in headstands;but the effect not upon your brain(headstands are just great for healing psychotic disorders),but instead upon your bodily cells;in a long run the pose is more important so than other headstand variations might get.

CYCLIC PRANAYAMA the preferred pranayama variation

Even as well practisable during sitting down in the leg bent poses as well(it IS the best option of many indeed even as 1 can do pranayama even as walking around),the traditionally explained in books on yoga method of making pranayama is NOT possible when you walk around upon your legs or else drive in a car etc,and often there IS a need in practising pranayama along with your walking around;pranayama can easily be used as in the ''protector of the mind'' role,the role that is generally taken over by music or radio etc;yet THIS way of protecting your mind is more practical as it keeps your attention upon things so much closer to home,a.k.a. upon your own self;as while you just need to watch breathing closely to avoid easily otherwise achieved harm this body just might find you wont be able to wonder mentally/intellectually elsewhere.Here i explain my OWN successfully used pranayama practising methods that books on yoga fail to mention(such methods DO certainly exist but only for serious data keepers of certain topics).Best as traditionally shown pranayama certainly is,it isnt always possible to do it in perfect circumstances even as its role as "mind defender" is undoubtedly very successful in most any circumstance 1 may find himself in;most commonly used way of vedic(indian religious)stuff of "mind defender" are mantras-verses from holy texts that keep 1's mind occupied;however i personally often find that THIS method of mantras is not sufficient and needs additions of purely physical character to be efficient/useful;and just the way judaism practically refuses to interact with things physical in nature hinduism also most stress makes upon things mental;but unlike in judaism(another too well developed structure of human defence against the world around that any religion certainly IS,which tends to simply avoid things physical and leave them elsewhere,hinduism DOES have a strong physical based science that helps 1 to deal with the world in its most negative forms;yoga and pranayama(which are a part of oldest texts and are perfectly part of the entire tradition)indeed CAN work to save a human being from the world upon its lower physical level.1 sometimes finds himself in a position,where he just needs to withstand mental issues,confronting him,and making pranayama is a very simple way of this simple "letting problems just go away" way of solving mental issues.Back to cyclic pranayama;i suppose it is better performed upon different fingers that make a circle/cycle as you pass them from the left to the right because it practises not only 2 fingers,but each of them and even in proportional use.We start this CYCLIC PRANAYAMA with the smallest left palm finger and its neighbour the ring finger;both used NOT with the fingers' tips but instead(this is actually a less tiring to your fingers method as you keep moving around upon your legs for instance)with the middle parts of the fingers' sides;not croutching fingers with their tips used into pressing your nostrils,the way traditionally explained pranayama works,but instead holding the fingers straight/never folded and pressing upon nostrils with their middle parts only;it all makes pranayama both simpler in practical use and less influencing/tiring off your fingertips themselves,and these latter CAN get tired quickly if used overactively,especially as you keep walking or so because both making correct pranayama and street walking isnt exactly possible;and so also making larger stress upon your health too,in particular elongating the time you will be able to perform pranayama.As traditionally explained in yoga books techniques of pranayama are all practisable in perfect for this conditions only and fail to be used as you,say,move through your city streets,THIS method of making pranayama IS nevertheless practiseable as you move around the city in less than perfect conditions for it to be used.Correct and useful as they are,the older explained forms of religion and tradition(and pranayama IS 1)nevertheless would be better used in less comfortable yet just as well important situations as well;those we depend upon sometimes too.As most of pranayama indeed IS better performed in the sitting position and in a certain pose with legs bent,in some situations pranayama can and better be done in less comfortable,yet recommended for pranayama use circumstances.Both yoga and pranayama though would better be introduced into our normal daily lives and this would lead NOT to perfecting our external life occupations then(like radio or newspapers' study or else such),but instead towards gradual improvement of our internal organs' condition,and the state of the breathing maintaining processes/bodily organs IS indeed such a mega important life piece we would better be spending our time upon instead of highly unrelated to this current life complicated things.This method,unlike the traditionally explained in yoga books 1,is making it possible to perform pranayama NOT only as we sit in specific,meant for it normally,poses with legs bent,and this is exactly how normal books about yoga try to introduce pranayama,but even as 1 walks upon a city road,is city busy etc because pranayama with fingertips used AND walking a road will definitely quickly tire off your very sensitive fingertips;even for myself(and i am a seasoned yoga/pranayama user)the fingertips get tired of it TOO quickly and other people that were never trained in it will find it mostly impossible altogether.While this CYCLIC PRANAYAMA i propose will NOT tire them off TOO quickly,instead making you able to achieve LONGER time of performing pranayama,and such an elongated period for pranayama exercises IS recommended to additionally improve one's health.The just said thing never means that this cyclic pranayama is to be used in better and definitely preferred conditions of sitting comfortably down and having ALL the possible comforts around;the traditional way IS the best for such perfected conditions;just that we not always possess the best conditions possible even as we CAN be busy with pranayama anyway,and we CAN practise pranayama in somewhat worse conditions as well;in fact such a use of pranayama as 1 walks is a better way of spending time than,say,listening to a radio or chatting freely around while walking about is.If we see just how it goes by the palms of yours,we can see that this cycle interestingly repeats the cycle of the Sun planet cycling the Earth-also from left to the right by a circle pieces(one's fingers)1 after another,and also cyclically circling the imaginative centre of your 2 palms if you spread the palms apart.So as the first step we used 2 of the straightened leftest fingers of your left hand,next pair is already to be both the ring finger and its next to the right neighbour the middle(the longest 1)finger.As you travel this cycle from the leftest finger to the right side of your 2 palms and reach the right palm little finger(where this cycle ends and you start accounting already next 10 pranayama rounds)the entire cycle is to start anew with again using the left little 1 and its next to the right ''ring'' finger.At both the junctions between the 2 palms(crossing between 2 thumbs and then between 2 little fingers)pranayama is to be performed with BOTH of the palms.This both of the 2 ''palms' variations'' are even stronger influencing your heart and health as 2 palms differ by their influence/electric charge applied(and there IS a somewhat different electric charge to each of the 2 palms)and SO make larger influence upon your heart and more than the heart itself too;your heart being the MAIN profits' gainer in all of this;difference among fingers' pressure/strenght/electric charges being THE most important instrument of this entire pranayama variation.As you use each finger your heart then also needs to get adjusted to the micro changes of the electric charge that exists different to each of your fingers,1 might even try to use ANY of the 10 fingers for pranayama exercises(i find such EXERCISES FOR your HEART)even more important ones than what we hear about as THE nice sorts of exercises;but the resulting effect then will NOT be AS effective as it will be with such a full circle repeating 1 because EXACTLY this bit-by-bit rising or falling of the power of each of your fingers is indeed the best variation and not a completely lacking order way of using ANY of your fingers,even as such a method indeed IS existing;the method is though only for exceptionally strong/seasoned pranayama users.Just to explain why exactly is the electric charge that passes through each of your fingers is different.The electric charge comes from the brain its original generator;and as the brain itself always holds the VERY same electric charge to itself(there ARE slight falls or ups in the charge among different individuals of course),this same charge as it passes through different fingers accordingly becomes somewhat varied in power/strenght and accordingly its influence upon the heart and other internal organs.Our traditional medicine agrees there IS a certain,even as a very weak in comparison to electric appliances 1,an electric charge to any human brain;and because EACH of your fingers is somewhat different(like longer or shorter,thinner or thicker etc),the electric current that passes each of the fingers(as it is just out of the main human body electric generator the brain)becomes somewhat different not only by its strenght,but also by other modifications like the speed of electric particles movement etc as it exits each of the fingers;we know that an electric generator's power(the brain is 1 too)becomes somewhat different simply after passing each of different wires upon its way provided those wires ARE different and each of our fingers definitely IS something else by its characteristics,and each of our fingers so is such a different a bit from other fingers a way the electric charge your brain keeps producing needs to pass upon its way from the brain itself outwards.As this brain produced electric charge is EXACT newly equired electric charge IS what is influencing your heart(the heart is only the first recipient of this brain produced electric charge as electricity very easily passes through your nose towards your more important and more liquid bodily parts after the nose,the heart being the very first electricity recipient here;the charge,released by your fingers as they work the nose in pranayama,goes initially downwards,attracted just as every electric charge,mostly by wet and humid substances,and reaches the heart,after which it keeps going down towards other internal organs as well;and while we can only feel the exertion of the heart the current produces,other lower organs profit from those currents as well in a similar way)as your press it against the nose.I personally can achieve increased breathing speed simply when my fingers touch my nose,without even closing the breathing passages,but this effect can only be achieved after some prolonged pranayama use and other health related items introduced all along the way.This condition of the fingers with electricity inside of them though is no simplest/normal condition 1 finds himself in but a situation for an individual with some seriously promoted health condition;average people will need to hold the nose closed for some while before their breathing becomes heavy with the heart suffering along this.And so the resulting influence upon the heart of each of the 4 pairs of your fingers(and this is upon 1 palm only and there are 2 palms you can use;each of the 2 has YET somewhat different influences the heart will be getting so)then is different too;by making such better GRADUAL,and so with the next to this 1 a finger and no other 1,replacements of the fingers you use when making pranayama you will be making additional,even as very slight to it,ammendments to the currents that pass through your body in this sublime way.Again,electric charge your brain holds inside of itself(it is a weak yet a considerable electric generator as medicine and physiology claim)always tends to leave the brain itself into the outside,and so each of your fingers naturally holds to it a certain amount of electric charge,the amounts of electric charge simply varying,and considerably too,from individual to individual.Upon our lower physical levels there is NO such a thing as a useless or not important an influence,each of the lower bodily functions reacting VERY much to every single thing it has to deal with,and such fingers' replacements are undoubtedly influencing the health in EXACTLY the best way of different ones.As you can see this from yoga books,the practise of pranayama they propose is never extended from the thumb and the forefinger to other fingers.Was this possible for old times' pranayama practitioners to NOT percieve such interesting ammendments in pranayama practising?Certainly not.But as it is with EACH and every of sciences we know about,what we know about them is nothing but THE BEGINNING of it all the MAIN piece of it remaining completely unknown to people,surface of this sea of internal knowledge seen ONLY,and the masters of each of those sciences definitely can perform MUCH more interesting wonders with it than what we hear about it at first as beginners to the science discussed and there are MANY of such sciences in the world that surrounds us;yoga books we might find being EXACTLY this ''beginning'' for pranayama practitioners.The point of performing such a type of pranayama is to INCREASE the INFLUENCE of it upon YOUR HEART as well as other human body system parts.Because as you perform pranayama systematically your heart is gradually strenghtened;and the better/or longer do you perform it(this CYCLIC PRANAYANA is but an additional developement of the entire pranayama science)the stronger will your heart be with time passing.This seemingly slight difference in performing pranayama as it might seem at first with time passing is destined to considerably strenghten your heart and in our world of constant heart diseases/complications there is no better way to spend your time than to build a better and more efficient a health.And so your lower body,the heart and even more included,then experiences DIFFERENT amounts of sorts of pressure and electric charges passing through your heart/other body parts later too as well from EACH of your fingers;small as such details may seem they DO have a significant influence upon your heart's(other bodily parts as well)condition if performed continuously for some extended while;and performing these for an extended period of time definitely additionally boosts the internally critical body parts like the heart,other principal bodily parts.Do not forget that electricity is used by us humans also as an energy/power source,and so Even as 1 can use EACH of the fingers he chooses,i personally think that the best option is to do exactly such a CYCLIC motion that repeatedly circles ALL of the fingers 1-by-1 as in this particular way the serious changes the heart might be otherwise experiencing(i mean if you try to use ANY of your fingers)are not on and the additional influence is limited to what the heart CAN suffer through with no serious complications ensuing later;and such serious dangers indeed CAN be found with pranayama as well as with yoga.The cyclic pranayama will influence your heart(and more too)on a much larger scale and more profoundly than the traditionally seen in books forms of pranayama can.The normal for most people unability to operate each of their fingers will gradually diminish and then disappear even at all if you practise ESPECIALLY this type of pranayama because as the normally mentioned type practises only the thumb and the forefinger these largest yet not the only fingers around,THIS type of pranayama already engages into action ALL of your fingers;activizing smaller fingers of your hand though will not only make your fingers more capable and practised,but will also drastically boost the set of bodily functions that is connected to activities of the fingers as a certain thing;some of internal bodily functions will be profiting large scale from this type of pranayama no less than the fingers themselves will as each of the 10 is well connected to different internal functions and activizing the fingers themselves(which are but the tips of a large internal iceberg of functions)will then certainly boost those ''lower iceberg parts'' as i would call them too;the iceberg mentioned then additionally activisez important internal functions,each of those becoming more proficient and useful with it.And as the thumb and the forefinger ARE indeed best connected and exert the best pressure upon the organism possible,introduction into use of other fingers AS WELL will boost the performance of some lower bodily functions as well as EACH of our fingers is well connected with some bodily parts and accordingly has an influence upon a set of functions inside of the lower body too.The entire calculation of such an increased influence is based upon different physical strenghts each of the 5 palm's fingers holds to it and/or of different amounts of an electric charge each of your fingers DOES hold to it even if you never do much with your fingers;for an actively practising pranayama individual such differences not only DO exist,but in fact even have considerable influence upon the results of his pranayama practises,and that is somewhat additionally improved health generally speaking;and the longer your pranayama use is the more influential such an increase in pranayama practise accordingly is.Because as the brain itself ALWAYS has inside of it a certain pretty significant electric charge(our medicine claims that each human brain is a very small electric generator describing this in easy for understanding terms),which we simply neither observe nor even hear about mostly,this inside of the brain only existing electricity alive as it exists normally ONLY inside of the brain itself,even as a very small to it,the truth is the stronger that brain electric charge is inside of it the more electricity will your fingers be showing too;the amounts of such electric currents are able to be increased after some skillfull management of one's internal affairs;i myself am perfectly able to inflict upon myself heavy breathing by touching sensitive areas of my own body,and such effects are ONLY possible with electric currents being strong enough in my fingers to cause such a grave for the health an effect.To strongly increase the electric charge your own brain anyway has inside of it(after which it easily travels also towards your fingers)A LOT of shirshasana the headstand pose practising is recommended.More,to consume a less cooked and so more alive/full of energy a set of foods will also strongly increase the electric charge not only your brain itself,but then also the fingers its close lieutenant will be having to them.The food we eat becomes an essential part of this body after something like 11 months and such a time period approximately IS when each and every of our internal bodily cells is replaced with another 1 completely(this information had been collected from very scientific books about human physiology).1 must know that whatever does he/she eat,his/her next body(we CAN see in our own older made photoes that what we were say a 2 years ago NOW is fully gone and currently we are completely different individuals)he would be having shortly is EXACTLY what he is eating this very day;and so the importance of what EXACTLY do we consume as our food is immense and not only COULD,but SHOULD be strictly controlled for the better final results of our daily lives,which would be better SO much more if we simply control our food intake EXACTLY and without deviations.Even as in the half fake world of the intelligence and psycho(1 is fully engrossed in this said world as he watches TV and listens to music etc)no serious changes are ever observed/existing as the brain is COMPLETELY protected and intentionally set aside from the rest of the SO much less comfortably situated a body(this effect is existing EXACTLY to profit the body the most though),the changes 1 can and must made to his life regimes are SO much more influential and so are better controlled specifically for better results as such CAN be performed/achieved with comperative ease 1 most never can find in other life spheres.My OWN fingers' electric influence is pretty high;i can easily inflict upon myself heavy breathing simply by touching the body with my fingers;even as my fingers are well away from my brain,which shows that the fingers are easily finding reach of free electricity from my brain,which in turn earns it from my frequent headstands and consumption of my never ever boiled and only just highly enough heated up to be pasteurized food.Whichever food do i eat lately,it is never AS much as boiled or even overheated(like had passed higher than the 60 degrees Centigrade mark).I make exceptions to this rule lately ONLY as i lack/need a foodie even as am far away from my home yet NEEDING to proceed with my outdoors occupations and so unable to feed correctly;such situations DO exist as a considerable part of my each given day is spent upon the street in different yet mostly OUTDOORS EXERCISES orientated functions.Those who practise pranayama a lot will definitely find this sort of cyclic pranayama MORE affecting their healves as simply more used/practised during any given day in this cyclic way,which actually IS the sign that it deserves more attention than the traditionally described form of pranayama does.Why this sort of pranayama hadnt been detailed in yoga texts is simply because just as it is with EACH of texts of significant value,its core and most important values/proposals are ONLY seen and achieved after a considerable time of personal use/practise;the others but the ardent practitioners left aside and NOT aquainted with those things.And why making newcomers know ALL of the practical uses as they for now are NOT willing to be dedicated to the practise in question seriously?Considerable misuse of the topic and negligence following that are of no interest to anyone.Wise people decided long before us that this possible practical mistake would better be avoided.Under the easily percievable rubbish of the classic texts nicer elements of those are ALSO findable,but only by those,who are devoted enough to search for them inside.Even as currently your fingers will NOT be able to do ALL the movements involved in it(for most people only the thumb and the forefinger WILL be useful during pranayama),and certainly at this moment will fail to affect your body towards any heavy breathing(this IS what my body finds easily as i do pranayama myself)supposed done during this extended pranayama science/practise,with time flowing and persistance applied the success IS guaranteed and the results ARE to be expected;other people never knowing any of it.This exact effect of only PERSONAL use of interesting results of hinduism is deliberately programmed into its teachings to avoid undesirable effects following.Even as i myself started once with using ONLY the thumb and the forefinger as practising pranayama,the rest of my fingers being comparatively weak and/or completely unable to perform it then,with time and persistant practise of pranayama(i actively perform it by now in 2022 for a couple of years)i gradually achieved the desired capacities of almost ALL of my fingers,and not of only the thumb and the forefinger,because those 2 were exactly what WAS able to perform pranayama at first as i only was starting my pranayama use.Currently(and this is after like 2 years of a well active pranayama use)i can pretty easily operate with about EACH of my 10 fingers when i practise pranayama,nicer results being not available only for my smallest fingers.Jnana Mudra the famous union of the thumb and the forefinger is no weird explanations some give to it;when the brain is weak(it IS as 1 does yoga actually)its prime minister forefinger supports it from its own resources,which DO happen to be strong during yoga.Main system parts like brain,ego eys actually suffer/forego diminutive decrease during yoga poses but these are too well not to use them;most loss is aquired by brain,which here cannot support the entire system by its management(typa need for any dependant to see its master work in any given minute).But forefinger WITH the thumb supports the thumb and with it the brain,to which thumb is intimately connected via sensation channels.When it is called in sanskrit "Jnana Mudra"(union of knowledge),it shows no union but this defence the system gives to its head during the time this head IS suddenly weak/decreasing in capacities.Touching the thumb,inner mechanisms of the forefinger support it and 1 can feel some increased inner peace/stability then in comparison to ordinary.Actually,thumb's mechanisms are ALL connected to the brain lo less than forefingers' ones are connected to management of weakly connected body parts;and when such weak connections' management touches the currently suffering brain,the latter suddenly finds a lot of support from these generally weak for him things.Thats all the wisdom of what yoga masters describe as "Jnana Mudra use".When having 1 finger replacing another completely different 1 in pranayama cycles(you have 10 fingers replace each other here gradually)you will find that your fingers now did MORE and so indeed,AGAIN,supported the head at its harder moment.Again,when you do yoga,your brain actually SUFFERS as it now cannot lead its subjects instead "weirdly spending time".That its current work is extremely wise matters not-brains support needs to watch it do all correctly,now unable to.1 more reson to do such CYCLIC pranayama over regular 1 instead.When performing cyclic pranayama(i prefer this way of it),be sure to:1)have all of the both palms in the air while doing cycles,then having them rest upon your lap(upper thigh area)while the palms AS well as the breathing system do get relaxation;and such rest/relaxation must be somewhat large inbetween 1)performing pranayama cycles upon fingers of 1 palm and 2)performing them upon the other palm's fingers.Thats because work over pranayamic cycles with 1 of the palms must be followed by a sudden lapse/breakdown of activities your body performs while doing pranayama with the other palm-work of each of the 2,a bit extensive in practise,must be followed then by a temporary relaxation of ALL systems as both palms rest upon the lap after 1 of the palms IS finished.Haifa city,in which i live currently,is all divided among smaller hills with vadis(older riverbeds)inbetween these.So to get from 1 hilltop to another 1 you must 1)go down,then 2)get into such a vadi,and later 3)get again up to the PRACTICAL SIDE There are some rules i'd like to recommend into use after lots of pranayama practise,those i never see in books,yet which ARE of use.After making rounds upon each of the fingers 1 palm has,do have a break from pranayama,sitting with your palms upon your lap till breath normalizes well,only THEN resuming the practise.As while yes in rounds(a round is pranayama,used upon 1 single finger),your both palms should be in the air between your lap and your face,best upon the very same level your elbows have;but after either 4 or else 9(both are fingers here)have a break from active pranayaming with rest/palms well upon the lap untill feeling fresh/anew again.The reason this IS recommendable is because an adept pranayama user,able to take out of it(as from many such other smaller thingies as well)lots of backside profits,often practises pranayama under pretty high pressure to perform it correctly and so with preferrably higher speed,mostly uses pranayama with locomotive type speed granted he IS a specialist in it;hence this break after both 4 and 9 fingers IS a thing 1 should observe carefully.What i call WEEKEND is 1 more thing,different in ways,yet also recommendable;similar by importance,it has different qualities and isnt the same thing at all.This sort of break i'd be calling VADI;this in hebrew is a riverbed,which separates hills from each other.Vadis are something else,even being similar;terminology is just AS important in yoga as it is elsewhere.Also theres 1 more rule i never saw in texts of any yogis,yet which better BE practised/used.When closing the nostril by a specific finger(in this cyclic pranayama you exchange fingers 1 by 1)you must touch the very same finger UPON your OTHER HAND with the appropriate hand thumb;and i mean better at the very same moment the nostril IS closed for a bit.Minute as these smaller rules might seem,they additionally develop the entire system of operations you perform while practising pranayama;and by additional tricks(this IS a trick actually just to make pranayama somewhat more attractive/interesting even as not having real health increasing value otherwise)you can increase the very chanses that make you practise pranayama and yoga,very useful life things that ARE destined to make your health SO much stronger/perfect.Similar additions,never mentioned in any yoga books,

SHAVASANA the corpse pose

As you do heavier yoga poses you overexert the resources your body is holding inside because yoga in general is excessively heating up your internal bodily tissues and invisible to you normally structures,those that make you what you are on the inside and making you your own self;not to the point,where it isnt able to do the poses,yet close to this critical time moment where it finally can NOT follow your brainy direction,and so the body IS heavily overworking during yoga,even as visibly you seem to perform not so many actions,still you always feel extremely tired after it.The longer had you been holding to each of yoga poses the better are the final results indeed;the larger profit had been just obtained from it,so try to hold on to each pose till either the very feeling of real exhaustion or else till heavy breathing appears.I try to hold on to each pose i do for AS long as i can hold on to it with no exhaustion,which is always seen clerarly as you find yourself suddenly having heavy/shallow breathing-THE definite sign that this particular pose IS better left alone for a break.You may do poses exactly the way you like them the most indeed;this simple attitude IS perfect for beginners in yoga;this particular attitude of holding on to a pose till completely wasted off by it is only useful as you are in a promoted/advanced state of a well functioning yoga practitioner.Because why stopping practising a perfectly functioning pose and instead not to hold on to it as it keeps then HITTING this BODY large scale,increasing all along the body output of the entire yoga practise session?But no matter whether you are a beginner or are you a master of yoga(even more importantly then indeed),the corpse pose Shavasana MUST be playing the role of this ''the other pole'' to intensive exertions you do while doing poses.In fact in yoga your INTERNAL life processes are heavily overworking;even as they arent visible from the outside,your exhaustion/heavy breathing after it and then even aches(these follow the tiredness suit)IS the sign that it is time for a break;Shavasana gives you enough rest simply FASTER than other ways to relax do.Just to give you an approximate estimation of what EXACTLY is overworking inside of you as you practise yoga(these things arent visible and are even rarely felt inside of you)i will say that your BLOOD this lowest and most important homeostasis level is strongly activizing its internal activity during yoga(it isnt what other workouts are able to give you though),to maybe the 3 times size of what that very blood had been JUST before yoga practising.The blood is this level/bodily mechanism that finally CAN add enough energy to the heavily working bodily parts;the volumes of the blood activity then rise to maybe thrice(a personal estimation that can be NOT correct)of what it performs in normal condition of,say,sitting by a table and reading a book.And this is only the most inner part of what IS going on inside of you as you practise yoga;later get also activized other bodily parts like soft tissues,muscles etc.As a general rule,whenever did you overstretch your resources into a hard condition for your own self,you must later also overstretch the according resting/relaxation period your body will be having JUST to successfully return to the older condition it did have before the start of the exercise that took THAT much power from it,and yoga IS taking from you too much power and exertion.If not getting enough rest the body cannot successfully proceed on with life because its normal life cycle definitely requires BOTH work and rest,each of the 2 rewinding the other constantly.Also here is good the example of a unstable rough sea surface during a storm with waves upon it;in fact the life of a human being IS such a wavy ocean surface with BOTH ups to an amazingly higher level AND downs to a lower than the average 1 too.When you had been just practising yoga poses your ''wave'' of physical activity had been growing constantly;the levels of your body work increasing;then as you get tired and experience aches finally(the top of the cycle of most anything and not only yoga exercising but more too)you start the going down process with no more growing up/boosting internally physically but ''falling down'' already while making Shavasana pose.Yoga practise is EXACTLY like a stormy unstable sea surface;and after a rise of a wave always later comes its fall,also to amazingly low levels(when you are like asleep during Shavasana),and BOTH the rising as you do a pose and the falling down as you relax in shavasana are necessary for the correct cycle going on.An incorrect cycle of yoga(other activities in fact as well)simply will NOT bring you large profits and your yoga practising will not add you what yoga is performed for,and that is INCREASE of your BODILY POWERs and capacities.Yoga is AS much an art and a successful event ONLY if you manage it correctly as most every other life activities' branch.Just to add to the work it did have this relaxation period is existing this dead body pose Shavasana,where your exertion/exercise,simply speaking,is 0;this 0 returns you to normalcy faster than the rest can;so never neglect to finish your poses with enough rest in this 0 pose,the pose of the dead body.Most books recommend it as THE final part of each pose practised;and only for better masters over yoga use of this dead body pose is neglectable(not necessary)if they do NOT feel enough tiredness to perform it afterwards.I personally easily avoid doing the pose after each heavy pose i just did,especially as i just started to practise poses;and use it only when/if well tired;this generally happens during the last stages of my yoga practise.Once in a while i actually FAILED to perform this corpse by mistake;the results always are weird disorientation in the brain,stiffness and exhaustion/incorrect physical performance in the body parts i would be better off without.This corpse pose is also the best for your night sleeping period as the body rests in it better potentially than it does otherwise;the occasions,in which i can fall asleep in the corpse pose i find the best for nighttime sleeping,just that the body isnt always THIS tired as to require ONLY the corpse position.If my day had been somewhat harder than it normally is,i accordingly add to my night sleep additional time,which is almost always 5 hours,additional 30 minutes,and then sleep already 5.5 hours a night,which an addition IS enough for most every additional exhaustion as i find it.Less than 5 hours of night sleep i find NOT enough for ANY level of easiness of a day just passed as the brain,which DOES participate in the body's actions anyways,ALSO gets tired of the actions and IT then DOES require enough rest.AS laying in shavasana you are to remain in this position for like 5 minutes as the authoritant yoga books say;for some and more effective yogis the time is less than that as they regain their power faster;it is a normal thing to be a better or a worse yogi.I suppose that the very end of any yoga session(the time you spend doing poses)is better done in Shavasana with no blankets inbetween your body and the stone floor;as most books(me too)recommend use of a thin blanket inbetween your body and the stone floor under it,they do not intend more exercising of the heart the way i personally use;and the end of a yoga session in my case is the final dissolution of Kundalini powers(the heart is its strongest piece)as no blankets are inbetween stone and the body.Muscles under the skin are made so as to gradually constrict themselves just the way a fat worm in an apple can be seen changing forms constantly;thats JUST how any healthy body is acvting on the insides;and when this fat worm(reminding a healthy body muscles again)is upon a purely stone floor it will die off as it holds on to it NOT allowing the Kundalini worm inside to freely stretch and constrict.The wasted in this way heart IS the sign that 1 needs to leave yoga and end his yoga session;but in a healthy/untired by yoga individual such a natural Kundalini "death" will not come soon at all;only well tired of yoga body will achieve this FINAL effect as it ONLY is good by the very end of a yoga session;i personally find this end of a session more recommendable.Even then the body must be taken off the floor AS soon as the heart is finally agonizing with constrictions/death convulsions and is heaving too heavily;in my case it happens when i am well tired of yoga;normal and untired body wont give this effect and its use actually additionally strengtens the heart and Kundalini the internal bodily muscular system.

VIPARITA KARANI

Out of all the yoga poses this 1 is the easiest to perform,the next easiest 1 after shavasana the corpse pose.Yet along with its ease in performance it also holds some(even as not many)rich gains the body would be getting;gains that headstands only can provide.It makes your condition a very peaceful 1 and you even might doze off in it.This is exactly what you get as you are a novice in yoga,but with time your head gets adjusted to the pose very well and stops dozing off;certainly so it was with myself.Still it has most of the effects most important poses hold,those like shirshasana and sarvangasana,even as in much smaller quantities because the main part of its influence is as simple as the blood going into the other direction-not from head to legs but instead from legs towards brain.Its name,which holds several replacing each other meanings if you play with its sanskrit sense(i HAD been and AM acquanited with those meanings myself as a nice sanskrit specialist once),and this detail is never on with other and more complicated poses,explains to us that of ALL yoga poses this particular 1 had been TOO busily used by old times' minds of countless generations of yogis the followers of physical body perfection techniques;and just as it is with other topics too,THIS 1(of yoga)had been perfected by long use of many generations that practised it.The 2 words Viparita Karani are somewhat like a large amazingly well worked over an anscient graffiti with several meanings in a several languages,including not only sanskrit itself,but also hebrew and english languages;interesting how old times' people managed to intertwine several languages of remote lands in 2 words;similar tendencies i saw sometimes in other life branches inside of Israel,1 more predominantly religious country,just the way it is in India.This thing of a very elaborately detailed graffiti of several languages/several meanings to those is definitely something other and especially more important poses never hold to them.Much more important and serious poses(just the way it also is with people btw)have exclusively simple and even too technical names to them,with such minimally important poses as Viparita Karani is holding on to LOTS of meanings all along.What it shows is that the pose had been often TOO much of a popular refuge for people from hardships they had in their lives and the people that used it werent much of yoga/physical perfections specialists anyway.As it normally anyway is with other topics as well,larger specialists hit the MAIN points and leave smaller ones to smaller specialists;while they work over REALLY hitting people poses of headstands and shoulderstands in particular(these 2 are my OWN most hit poses),less specialized in the topic folks relish the word game instead and SO the great graffiti of the pose's name had come to us in this way.What to speak of people,who are never into ANY exercises,and instead comfort their poor and hardly overworking brains in weird complicated sciences.Because yoga often IS such a refuge from intellectual problems by the way of engaging the body instead of the mind,which is suffering at this particular moment;i use yoga for the purpose of healing my brain pretty often myself;it definitely CAN be used that way very successfully.Because this human organism can only perform SO much of any activities at a particular moment in time and no more;and in case you made your physical body part OVERactive in anything(this is exactly what yoga can achieve)your mental/intellectual organism part is then doomed to lose this exact amount of activity it had been just now performing;or,saying it even simpler,if you are active physically your brain will get very serious relaxation as your blood isnt in it any longer,instead overactive inside of the body itself.This way can it be also used nowadays too as the easiness,with which this pose is performed is ONLY matched with great results 1 can get from it;those reminding a lot the MOST important yoga poses like Shirshasana the main 1 King pose and Sarvangasana its commander-in-chief the Queen pose.This effect is caused by the general change of direction your blood has to accomplish as you are in the pose,the interior organs attempting to follow suit(these latter depend upon the blood in too many respects),reintroducing new mechanisms to do that;as the blood normally flows towards the legs by the gravitational power of the Earth,here it starts already to get attracted towards your brain;this change of blood flow direction is a very strong instrument 1 can use at any time.What CAN suffer the most as you position yourself in this pose are both of your wrists;and 1 will find that making the wrists well busy is very often THE condition for his peaceful life anyway.This is EXACTLY how we see that Viparita Karani had been The Refuge for mostly UNsuccessful in other poses yogis,who nevertheless DID need the protection of physical things in their obviously TOO hard even then lives.Even for me,1 who uses yoga constantly and for well over 1 hour each day,the pressure to the wrists in Viparita Karani pose is the largest i experience while performing the pose,and i am an seasoned many years yogi.To make the pose lay down in the corpse pose;then rise your legs up and put them upon the floor AS far behind your head as you possibly can.This is the plough pose Halasana,and as you take your legs' toes off the ground then and vertically over the body after that with the hands holding the thighs from below and vertically too,holding the thighs by the large bone,situated right above your buttocks,it is already Viparita Karani pose.The best(found only later though)a position in it is when your chin touches your chest in it(the so called Jalandhara Bandha).The hands can be placed either above the head upon the floor or else straight by each body side;the choise is yours,but i prefer the 1st variation and find it more comforting somehow.In this pose you will feel your blood deserting your legs,legs themselves becoming light and bloodless,blood collecting in your upper body parts and the head itself;but the REAL gaining body parts here is not your head(its blood circulation then is well blocked by the Jalandhara Bandha or,simply speaking,the connection into 1 of your chest and your chin),but instead your neck(with a drastically important part of it the thyroid ductless gland)and your upper chest area.This condition is EXACTLY why the main poses are believed to be such-the influence of your blood is really different then-it hits BIG scale not your legs already,but instead your MAIN organism part the brain and its main advisors/helpers the heart,neck and the upper chest region.In most people this sudden and radical increase of blood pressure to the upper body parts is a very radical thing to do and must be performed very carefully.Try to bend your legs into 2 parts at the knees when stable in this pose;your heels so touching your buttocks.This detail is never found in yoga books and i administer it myself pretty frequently.Another additional exercise in Viparita Karani is when you lower 1 of your legs down(holding it straight without any angles in it though)towards your head,till your breathing becomes laboured and then heavy,after which you return to the normal Paripurna Viparita Karani pose each of yoga books mentions,in which you then relax till yes finally able to move on with your yoga exercising.But whichever of the 2 legs do you lower down(till it is parallel to the ground by the way as no lower condition is ever necessary for it),and you can lower each of the 2 at your choise,still the other leg has to remain in its traditional position upwards pointing towards the sky.This interesting effect of laboured and then completely heavy breathing,achieved in this way,is explained if you try to percieve just what exactly happens in your blood system as you lower 1 only leg.Then the sizes of the blood pressure in each of the legs suddenly become different as the blood flows through them already with a higher speed and pressure towards the Earth as you lower 1 leg down;the other leg holding the very same blood pressure all along;and your heart(it is always extra tired as i do lowering of 1 of my legs in the pose)then needs to work with already 2 different blood pressures in generally speaking only 1 bodily system,that of your legs.SUCH weird changes in blood pressure even your heart(a VERY seasoned veteran of working with the blood indeed)isnt ready for;it tires off ALL too quickly,doing this exercise.Now this tiring for the heart a simple exercise can become;and imagine just how much larger a serious set of changes has your heart to be well adjusted to if you introduce liquid feeding into your life!Liquids tend to much easier disintegrate into separate regions inside of only 1 liquid;and EACH of such different layers of any liquid hold inside of themselves already 1)another consistence of the liquid in question,2)another pressure inside of this seemingly 1 a liquid;3)heavy and more concentrated particles in it tend to easily get lower with the Earth gravitational power and leave the uppest parts of that liquid to themselves and comparatively empty too.All this mentioned in some detail,1 can much simpler say that the AMOUNTS of INTERNAL bodily ACTIVITIES of anyone,feeding with mostly liquid foods,INCREASE TENFOLD and this simple a change,once introduced,is destined to completely change one's organism,leading it basically speaking to a very drastic increase of its most basic to life internal activities and,accordingly,to some decrease in its intellectual/mental ones as well as a direct result of the boost the internal ones get in this way.As you do this the body gets additional stretching and sometimes even exhaustion.I constantly do such additional to Viparita Karani exercises,but only till i achieve heavy breathing,which IS coming quickly though;the longer do i hold on to such a legs' bending the heavier my breathing.This must be because of the resulting difference of already 2 blood pressures in 1))the entire body and 2))inside of the area between the knee and the toes.The thing is what happens to your legs,thighs etc isnt AS important as what happens to your heart and the entire blood circulation system as you do yoga poses;the blood being THE main actor in yoga unlike in so many other exercises,most of which tend to lead 1 towards external things like muscles;the blood in fact profits from yoga the very most of any other body parts.Blood though constantly,unlike most any other body part does,keeps circulating around,never tired enough to stop doing this,and so actually is 1 of any human body's MAIN parts and organs.During yoga the amounts of blood pressure each of your body parts has inside of it is somewhat different,even more so than when you are in other,including complicated,life tasks.These exact changes of internal pressure inside of the blood circulation system parts and also the direction of the blood flow inside of you are the MAIN actors of the entire yoga gains game 1 finds as doing yoga poses.And when these 1)) and 2)) coinside,it produces this immidiate heavy breathing effect i am always having when bending my knees while in Viparita Karani.Here we can see just how much larger an importance do have processes that go on inside of one's blood,which in fact is the VERY centre of each human organism,the brain this only presumed head of the state,responsible for mostly external affairs' conduct and solution,and even the slightest change in the blood system(bending of the knees in Viparita Karani IS a very slight change to the blood that nevertheless keeps exercising the blood itself and so is even more important than Viparita Karani pose itself is)is able to do to the body much more than simple poses can.To find overreaction(seen as heavy breathing mostly)of your body to Viparita Karani you must first take your legs radically away from the vertical position,but this VERY same effect is THAT much easier achieved when you simply allow your lower legs' parts to go downwards and touch your buttocks;heavy breathing following suit and easily;and in this simple way we can see just HOW larger an importance do internal processes of our hidden inside organs have;and the blood this MOST internal and ever moving on and on a BODILY ORGAN it certainly is is certainly providing us with more changes than other organs might ever show.The more internal/important/essential for life an organ/bodily part the more is it capable of instant/constant/funnily radical changes of different ways because this is exactly what defines the centre-its capacity to change ways/directions/ways of action etc.Always keep in mind that no heavy breathing is allowed for you;if you do allow heavy breathing you dangerously play with the final capacities your body can allow and the entire game of life is to never endanger the system under your control but instead to practise it,exercise it and SO lead it towards gradual growth and increase in size and capacities along the way.After the knees bending while in Viparita Karani pose you would be then straightening the 2 legs' parts back into the vertical position,but only when you achieve heavy breathing part of this exercise;and such a bending of knees IS an additional exercise you might find in this pose.So i would recommend adding Viparita Karani pose performance with such bending of your knees sometimes too-it makes your blood in particular experience additional workouting;and what DOES gain the most as you do ANY yoga pose is definitely your blood anyway,this extra strong and influential human organism piece we tend to forget about,and which yet has the main role around.The blood,as its direction of flowing is suddenly changing,is bound to come through very serious internal changes with like twice or thrice an increase of its internal activity and speed of action all along,this change being the REAL actively influencing us human beings factor,1 yoga books authors never mention somehow in any detail(i had been reading several yoga books)and yet 1 that REALLY hits our internal health big scale-blood this REAL centre of the human bodily system needs exercises and profits from them even more than other human body parts ever can.As it normally is what we cannot see for the most part makes the largest influence upon our lives;take the brains and their capacities for changing our lives as the proof for this;blood is also such a completely invisible thing,which nevertheless is always active with amazing effects following,just the way the brain always is.But when the brains sleep at night(they need this EXTRA relaxation just to counteract the dangerous external from this system world)the blood KEEPS working ON and on with no stop whatsoever;and this exact larger speed of action/refusal to ever stop it shows us where the REAL centre of a human being is-the centre is always active and never stops.Work with dangerous potentially outside factors(the specialization of our brains that is)though is NOT the real centre so and 1 must keep this in mind as he engages into the ''outside-of-the-system'' activities,which are presumably THE real cause of all that be.Brains are nothing but the Grand External Affairs Manager,the type CIA this specialized(and nothing extremely specialized is ever TOO important for us humans)country part is inside of USA.Highly developed brains CIA absolutely are,but just how critical for REAL life inside of USA are they?Another thing,which also makes additional exercisisng,is when you put both of the legs to its sides till unable to do this any longer(your tendons get overstretched then and refuse to cooperate on with you)and then holding on to this position for as long as you can without heavy breathing following;i personally leave this pose after the said heavy breathing appears;it additionally exercises the body,in particular your tendons those rubberlike joints of the legs;i get heavy breathing from this too.Heavy breathing is no dangerous thing on itself;it simply shows us it IS time to stop what we do to cause it.Each of these additions to Viparita Karani pose(i never see these in yoga books while myself doing them constantly and finding influential too)is recommended into its performance as it additionally improves one's health as the following it effect.Whenever do you do yoga,always avoid heavy breathing as it IS the sign that you MUST STOP yoga practise right away as it means that your bodily system had just reached its level of allowable functioning.This extreme exhaustion following heavier yoga poses naturally,even as yet invisible to a naked eye,is EXACTLY what happens as(i hear this effect often from other yogis myself)unsufficiently practising yogis get various signs of nervous exhaustion while doing yoga poses;they simply failed to do yoga correctly,and this in particular means relaxation AS soon as tired;they simply fail to relax for AS long as their body had been just working out in yoga poses;while 1 of absolute yoga rules is getting NO LESS relaxation and REST THAN ACTIVITIES performed to reach heavy breathing.The levels of exhaustion your internal bodily tissues and organs can find as you do yoga are WAY more serious and potentially dangerous(i'd approximately estimate those as 10 times more than those for the muscles)than those simple muscle exercises can show because the muscles are situated mostly outside of the human system parts and these are never THIS easily injured as their masters the internal tissues are;and accordingly to reach extreme tiredness of these internal organs and tissues is a much simpler task.Funny thing though is that what we DO hear about is always either muscles or intellectual stuff;no internal tissues mentioned all along.When in Viparita Karani pose i also sometimes move my legs(which are normally held in the vertical position in this pose)to the left and then to the right from the body,but not in the vertical position,instead in the line,which is better parralel to the floor though;this is acceptable once you have your pose stable and are able to add to it additional components;experienced yoga practitioners always are good for this.Just that AS soon as my breathing becomes hard/elaborated(this happens the more do i move the legs from the axis of the body)i return them back to this presumed axis,which connects both legs and your head into 1 line.Even as a particular pose IS stable and adding you health benefits you might find additional such benefits in similar exercises,all of which then add to your health.And what yoga provides you with generally is this simple improvement of critical organs in the form of increase of blood pressure to them as you are with your legs up and the main human body system part down towards the earth's centre;no such additional benefits,collected into your general health bank mentioned even as they ARE possible.Such additions will be available only for masters of yoga as beginners will not find them possible-their performance demands a somewhat better internal organs' condition EKA PADA VIPARITA KARANI Theres this sidekick/partner of Viparita Karani a pose,in which while in Paripurna Viparita Karani pose,you lower 1 of your legs,remaining the other 1 in its vertical position,down so that it touched the buttock;then after a bit(and as you feel good in this new pose certainly)you return the leg back into the original facing upwards position;later you do this same with first the other leg,and later and finally BOTH the legs do this very same cycle of "up-down to the buttock-back up";in it the resulting change of blood pressures in each of your 2 legs(blood pressure is increasing in the lowered leg,giving a boost to the intire blood system difference of blood pressures in your legs).If you observe the condition of your heart as you do this particular pose you will see that the heart is heavily overworking in it;in the way other poses often lack showing.This pose in particular(it results in the internal to the blood itself a disturbance of different blood pressure sizes)is boosting the practising your blood itself gets during yoga;and as blood is THE main actor in yoga anyways,enriched and practised in it in ways,while other poses work mostly with increase of metabolism of a particular body part,practised then.Blood though should get its own piece of exercising;just another human organ it certainly is,important and decisive as it certainly IS for the entire human body,its exercising is just another goal 1 must pursue in workouts and while exercising.Of many yoga poses Shirshasana the headstand(you can observe your heart working very heavily as you are standing upon your head as it attempts to adjust itself successfully to the weird changes inside of the body),pranayamas of several sorts and this Eka Pada Virarita Karani too,are working with the blood ITSELF,this decisive instrument of the entire human organism system,practising the blood into a better final condition.Workouts for blood this principal bodily organ certainly DO exist and should be practised too.Killer of human beings number 1 nowadays is undoubtedly the heart and blood conditions;contemporary medicine has the fact in its statistics.Of all the "1 Pada..." poses 1 Pada Viparita Karani is the easiest to perform;while i am in a weakened state(it happens for instance as i fast each week on a weekend day)this specific "1 Pada Viparita Karani" pose IS possible to perform,your body IS able to do it in a weakened condition too while other "1 Pada.." poses are not;and so its best to start making these from this 1 Pada Viparita Karani pose;the "1 Pada..." poses greatly important/recommended as only they directly influence your blood and its developement/gradual condition's improvement.Blood and its condition is the lowest ever level you can manage your health upon;afflicting it so is the best area of action out of many health oriented methods.This pose is able to quickly tire off one's internal(ductless)glands,which juice specific organs with agents to influence these.

SARVANGASANA the shoulder stand

This pose the shoulderstand is supposed to be the 2nd most important/influential 1 of all the poses of yoga(the queen pose with the king pose headstand),the most important 1 being Shirshasana the headstand;at least this is how it is taken in most of books on yoga.As 1 is in Sarvangasana the main profiteers from it are not the brain,the way it is in headstands(with Jalandhara Bandha the chinlock it gets much less blood),but the upper human body torso and its critical for life organs like lungs,the heart etc.The brain is never getting AS much bloodflow in this pose as the chest does.The main influencing us instrument during these 2 poses is a completely different direction the blood is taking while circulating the body.Normally(in the standing position)it flows towards the legs with the power of gravitation and NOW in sarvangasana it suddenly starts to flow towards the head for a change,this exact change in the direction of the blood flow(a very basic and so very influential 1)making it such a prominent exercise.And indeed,on the lower level of this body what DOES count is nothing else but the internal blood circulation,its direction and blood pressure involved into it.Most of the smallest entities of this human organism the micro cells that compose each human organism are never exiting it and forever exist inside of it,never having any connection with the outsoide world beside the body itself.And if they notice anything at all down there it certainly is either the qualities of food,intaken by the body,or else the direction and the strenght of the internal blood flow.Topsy-turvy poses with the head down and legs up are doing this exact amazing change for a common cell,the change they are destined to notice ALL to nicely down there-the very sudden and amazingly differently influencing them CHANGE OF DIRECTION the BLOOD gets then.To make the pose 1)lay down face up in Shavasana the corpse pose, 2)raise your legs slowly upwards and then perform Halasana the plough pose(with your legs' toes touching the ground above and behind your head) and 3)after this,pulling the legs AS far above the head as you can while touching the ground,put your hands to your spine AS close to your head as you can and then raise your legs over into a preferrably correct vertical line.If performed correctly,your body then is in a straight vertical line and your chin is touching your breast bones(the so called chinlock or else Jalandhara Bandha as it is called in its sanskrit term).It is not necessary though to perform the pose 100 % correctly as its effect is reaped is smaller not too correct variations as well,just that with accordingly smaller effects.Hands supporting your spine must be possibly closer to the head all along;the best position(1 may not be able to get there as a novice though)in it is when the chinlock(Jalandhara Banndha as sanskrit designates it)completely blocks the blood approach to your brain because this pose is never meant to enrich the brain itself,but only the chest situated upper body principal parts.The profit this pose gives(you will feel in it that most of your legs' blood is exiting them towards the heart and your upper torso)is sudden very strong inflax of blood into the area of your upper torso,the breast and the head,even as chinlock prevents blood entrance into the brain quite well.Now,in that area are situated very important ductless glands(thyroid in particular,the shieldlike gland that protects the throat in its middle,producing some critical juices all along and more),which all are tasked with adding to blood special agents that can radically change the composition of your blood and so also the influence the blood is exerting over your entire body because those agents are very much principal,they eject into the blood agents that are able to change the composition of the blood radically,and can cause for instance one to become shorter by height in case they are well too abscent in it.The resulting massage of the neck area of your muscular system(and the neck is a very central part of it)much adds to ejected into the bloodstream special agents organs like thyroid produce.The pose is very relaxing for those who practise it for a considerable amount of time just that the wrists easily get tired of keeping the body straight in the vertical position non stop,holding most of the body weight.Your heart will get very nice relaxation and a better more peaceful time it needs too while you stand in the pose;in fact in each of king pose Shirshasana and this Queen pose sarvangasana your heart will get some temporary relaxation of its otherwise much stronger at normal conditions an activity.The significant release from life pressures your heart gets as you are in either Shirshasana or Sarvangasana is only compared to that when you sleep at night because the situations,where the heart isnt working pretty hardly are very rare;well practised at working non stop as it certainly is,the heart still needs some downtime or period,when its activity is somewhat slower.The influence upon the upper part of the lungs is also a strong 1.The heart itself,this very principal bodily part,is in a much better and preferred by it condition then and you will feel it right away as its actions/speed will be slowing down and becoming more stable and less neurotic in sarvangasana(in shirshasana too btw),suddenly stable and peaceful,remarkably reminding the pacified pace it has while you are well asleep.Just why the position with the head down and the legs up,this topsy-turvy 1,is our original healthy pose for better life,and adding of which is a much recommended thing.Your brain will ALSO experience a more peaceful/stable condition,just the way it goes with the heart.The generally much more sportive/nervous actions of your heart as you perform normal daily activities only prove the idea that our normal homelike condition is with our legs up and the head down,the way each Earth organism existed in during the days of yore,when the sun was small and the most intelligent creatures were dinosaurs.Our home form of an eartly creature we possessed once long ago is that of a plant(this furtherest from us by time predecessor of this very human organism).The truth is we still are formed and keep trying to exist around that very way each tree is formed even now-with our root the brain getting the most of what the entire organism gets from the outside,the rest getting simply less.Being in that anscient and normal for trees only condition of the root down and the branches upwards is exactly what topsy-turvy poses and Sarvangasana in particular CAN give us in quantities.Older condition though is 1 thing we not only definitely and desperately lack,but also would find greatest benefits from even now.Because as our main organism parts are situated above the rest of the body they would better be getting more of quality blood supply than other parts do and this is best accomplished by topsy-turvy poses of yoga.Other less principal body instruments ALSO profit immensely by performing Sarvangasana.It is best to exit EACH pose you perform during your yoga exercises' session ONLY after some body part had JUST NOW started to suffer/get exhausted from overexertion after doing this pose,and no earlier,as the longer you exert a body part the better condition is it aquiring with time flowing,and so try to stay in each of yoga poses for possibly longer,leaving it(always for Shavasana the corpse pose ONLY)as you feel tired of it and not before this.Masters of yoga always repeat that EACH pose has to be followed by this corpse pose even as some people(who are in a good enough condition for this)are indeed able to have 1 pose immidiately followed by another 1 without health complications arising out of this;this capacity to NOT stop for a break Shavasana gives you is a definite sign that your mastery over yoga is pretty considerable.For instance your heart,a VERY important internal bodily organ,is experiencing in topsy-turvy poses(those with your head down and your legs up)a sudden slowing down in its tempo of actions,revealing the REAL profit takers this pose does have-critically important to the organism in general organs like the heart,the lungs etc.And the heart is only the body part we CAN observe as getting profits as we can see it being in a worse or better a condition,other smaller yet also important body parts remaining with changes we simply cannot percieve;so as we see this heart profiting from a pose large scale we may know other parts get the very same improvement.Another interesting outcome i personally make out of this serious heart pacification during my topsy-turvy poses performed is that the REAL good life the heart finds ONLY in its position with the head down and the legs up because in topsy-turvy poses the heart always becomes acting more slowly,stably and peacefully with crazy overactive speeds of action that funnily tend to follow our strident lives suddenly evaporating into nothing-1 REAL proof that this pose IS an immense boon for your BOTH health and mental/intellectual equilibrium.Strong and effective a body part as it certainly is,the heart also needs a downtime,where it can relax additionally and get profits resulting from it.As i stand in heavier to accomplish topsy-turvy poses i sometimes suffer from overexposure of the heart to constant position with legs up and the head down;the position,in which my heart even starts to suffer from this position legs upwards;this situation IS possible as well-we human beings are WAY too long into our position with the legs down and the head up and SO do not possess the condition,in which we enjoy this topsy-turvy pose for TOO long,even as such ARE indeed are the best yoga poses to perform-the position with the legs up and the head down is what living creatures as our ancestors on this planet always had and so EXACTLY what we miss/need/would better regain back regardless of the society norms and rules;and lets face it rather than foolishly deny it-this society isnt at all always correct in its rules and demands towards a separate human being.Whichever norms does this society want fulfilled,OUR personal interests that make our productivity elsewhere YES possible exactly after our stuff finished well and correctly need to be fulfilled even before those.As our predecessors the most anscient creatures like trees and plants ALL exist in this condition with ends up and the centre down,we humans and other animals though are better adjusted to the position with the organism's centre up and its ends downwards;the 1,in which in fact our MOST principal organs are not only doing the best,but in fact even suffer somewhat all along.This best once position though HAD to be replaced with a suddenly more correct 1(head up legs down)as the Sun keeps stealing our Earth resources into its own kitchen by its gravitational power,which acts like a giant dusting machine,taking off any object whatever is it able to steal and becoming THE object number 1 all along with this,and so we already need to watch it even more than the Earth below.While being in this Sarvangasana pose(as while in other ones too btw)try to hold it in a stable no changes position for AS long a time amount as you comfortably can,only leaving the pose when well tired of it-your organs profit large scale from every minute you spend in such a pose!As when out of poses you will regain your profits,achieved normally,pretty quickly;they lower bodily parts though will keep lacking the rich blood supply dearly afterwards;and what kills 1 nowadays is no lack of brain foodies,but instead always failure of only 1 of too numerous smaller by size yet very critical for life bodily parts.The real profit you gain in the way of performing it is caused by disappearing suddenly then ABSCENCE OF rich BLOOD SUPPLY to your legs with your upper body parts like the brain itself,thyroid gland,lungs,the heart etc then suddenly getting much larger volumes of blood,the blood being in much higher atmospheric pressure all along and so adding energy supplies and taking out undesired here elements much better(a 100 times more so i'd roughly estimate)in this simple way;this abscence of richer blood supply though is the reason of faster tiring off of your precious organs as while doing Sarvangasana(other topsy-turvy poses too)those organs finally DO get a really rich blood inflax into them with the resulting blood pressure inside of them increasing REALLY dramatically and so with amazing effects for the health of your entire organism.I possess a certain electric charge to my fingertips;it reveals the GREAT internal CONDITION my NERVOUS CELLS(brain ones in particular)hold to them,the main reason for this i believe being a lot of time in these topsy-turvy poses each day that i keep practising.Another very real proof of the better condition 1 gets with topsy-turvy poses introduced daily is one's personal great condition of hairs upon the head with lack of any serious decrease of hairs throughout the head;and i imagine that the insides of my head get a much better condition from topsy-turvy poses all along as intracranial parts like brain simply HAVE to get close to 100 % of whichever blood supply increase gets up towards the body' head end.My fingers do possess a certain electric charge to them,which is capable of making my heart move faster once i touch the body with them.This excellent result is not only the result of correct feeding(i am vegetarian with all of food eaten pausterized only and never cooked for more than till it reaches 60 degrees Centigrade),but also because i am a very active user of yoga and especially the yogic topsy-turvy poses with the head down and the legs up,where the brain gets enlivened with rich blood quite a lot.Nor do i believe that i would be having any serious heart conditions even with time flowing/becoming much older as i not only do topsy-turvy poses a lot,but also practise the heart muscle(and its importance is MUCH larger than arms muscles hold to them)developing yogic pranayama exercises a lot too.To add what this body lacks badly though(and this is high pressure containing rich blood supply to one's upper body parts and the brain itself in this case),even as for a VERY short amount of time,is an immense profit 1 must always strive to achieve.Because whatever are you excessively rich at/in presently of life desires,only adding of what you LACK/never have around currently to this condition will make you indeed a much better off a person and 1 HAS to strive to fill his internal bodily mechanisms with whatever do they NOT possess at this particular moment rather than adding more and more of whatever is it you ARE rich with anyways even now;however remote and complicated does this truth sound,it is 100 % correct and would better be followed simply for better results of one's life.I am positive that well over 90 % of blood/heart disorders and things like heart attacks,brain insults etc would disappear and never find people if only those people DID spend some time in these topsy-turvy(legs up head down ones)poses sometimes.Just imagine how exactly badly would you be feeling if devoid of watching your favourite TV shows and programmes on a daily basis for only 1 single day;this exact state your body is having even now as it does NOT get rich enough blood supply to critical bodily organs as watching TV is actually nothing more than increasing blood supply to your brain.Brain HAS to get what is its own(TV shows,books,music etc)though,theres no mistake with THIS idea;but so also must GET THEIRS other body parts just as well,and this includes numerous components of food we never add to the body(specific vitamins and other food components),exercises the body parts indeed DO need to function well enough etc.Most times,busy otherwise,we do not add to the body its NEEDS,but adding those simply make our lives better with time and more successful too.What TV does in general is THAT simply as activizing the brain with rich blood supply to it following suit;thats EXACTLY what happens as you stand in important topsy-turvy yogic poses with your lower,and also pretty critical for life,bodily parts like the heart,lungs etc;but in this case it happens NOT with the brain,but with other(important in ways AS well)internal bodily organs,correct action/work of which is principally necessary for your internal health,JUST the way the work of your brain(SO much enriched as watching TV)is seriously improved and strenghtened then.As we CAN feel the improvement our brains or heart get when we are with the head down and our legs upwards we still never can feel the very similar improvements other less principal lower body parts achieve in this way too;and this fact is exactly the explanation of why is Sarvangasana believed to be the second most important yoga pose even as we never associate it with much profits from yoga.And just to boost the condition of your other organs we must add some yoga(or at least workouts in general)to each and every of our normal days-exercises do what other things fail to,and this is radical BLOOD PRESSURE INCREASE.The recipee,THIS simple as it is(all the best things in life are,indeed,exclusively simple),is capable of leaving us MUCH healthier with no serious health conditions for a much longer period of time;the time we would be spending here feeling great and never visiting any medical institutions(at my age of 51 in 2023 i am proud that i am never any visitor to any medical instituations and am looking exceptionally well for this age all along);the aim,well worth the time you spend to reach it.What we the brains never even notice as yes happening around is STILL very much around and YES influential in many ways for the human organism in general;this Sarvangasana pose being 1 of more prominent examples of it.And while other than yoga workouts work with less important sides of health(most times these are muscles' developement),yoga hits big scale THE most important and influential organism's sides,those 1 almost never notices or even hears about,and i mean here the critical for our lives indeed internal organs like the brain,the liver,lungs,especially glands homeostatic processes that produce principal for the interior internal juices like adrenalin,neural agents that circulate inside of the brain only etc.Workouts as the general rule work with muscles;yoga takes a specific internal organ(any pose works with mostly a particular 1),adds to it blood in rich quantities and with high blood pressure applied makes your INTERNAL condition a much better 1,and internal organs ARE much more important and influential for every human organism a.k.a. as a single man/woman as they build you inside,and insides of yours are MUCH more important life's parts than ANY outsides,muscles and TV etc included.And once you start percieving life items the way you did once,when you were say 20 years old,you know you DID achieve the real profit.Sarvangasana's main profiteers are internal principally important glands and organs like heart,liver,lungs etc.Lately i use it for only short times because otherwise all the just mentioned organs even start aching out of extreme exhaustion in me;this pose effect is reminding what extensively flocked with vitamins/minerals like mushrooms give me lately even as once they were just great for my health-dull aches of overexerted specialized organs like liver,kidneys etc.Shoulderstand is just great for waking these up;but these specialized organs are already extensively at work as all the food i eat comes in liquid form,and liquid food brings extensive work over it by internal bodily systems;my feelings(these are great informators by now)show me that both shoulderstand and quantities of vitamins/minerals overexert my specialized organs.Thats just why i most times avoid Sarvangasana the shoulderstand as this Queen Of Poses is busy exactly with activizing internal glands that stream into the blood things,all too specific,while these are already well supported by eating all liquid;feelings telling me this information while no other sources(yoga/health books included)even mention its existance.Thats to the topic of why exactly large sensitivity IS a recommendable thing to possess.
