BLOOD

This body part not only does exist bit it makes the largest influence upon the health we possess.Central no less than the Sun planet,it also has very similar principal,even as not direct influence.Just the way Sun heats us and gives us energy to move on,the blood gives this same effects here.It also is the least stable internally body part,which is ever in motion and changes,the way Sun is too.The speed of changes inside of 1's own blood is much higher than that of processes in the brain and the capacity of the blood to undergo sudden changes inside of this overly active internal bio system is much higher.Accordingly,the REAL centre of this body is no brain(its foreighn affairs minister let us say and the current world we live in demands us to be mostly active in our "foreighn affairs")itself,but the blood as its ability to suddenly diversify in accordance to minute changes inside of the organism is much higher than what divercity of action this brain can ever show.The very centre is simply what can undergo the largest changes during 1 single minute of a life;this is how i would nominate the centre as it must be;outskirts of any system are never subjects to any change while the very centre is ever replacing its condition and is never in the very same condition it just had been 10 minutes ago.According to such a scheme the blood and the interior ministry of this organism(foreighn ministry being the brain)is the main body part,which logically is its centre and main basis.Thats because a human being was created in our planet's very anscient history,when it WAS a good idea to follow the interior ministry(blood IS)as the head of state.The ability of this blood to suddenly and easily interchange its own consistance and functions is absolutely amazing.Lower levels of one's blood(they are simply closer to the centre of Earth the planet we live upon)always have much higher concentrations of critically important vitamins and useful elements;these reside in our blood generally,all of which the most useful vitamins/minerals etc are much heavier than the weight of average blood components is;like this when we churn the body from side to side while exercising it or else take a very original body position(topsy-turvy ''upside down'' poses in particular)we suddenly boost concentrations of those critically important elements in our blood in our upper body parts,and the brain is the main body part that does gain from similar body churning/twisting around as it principally gets lower levels of effectual useful elements being the uppest of all the body pieces.Saying all this simply(science is never a useful thing sometimes),1 must try to get his/her head lower once in a while.Brain gets a lot with it afterwards.The explanations,complicated as they certainly are,are simply a way to prove just why exactly is this a recommendable practise.

SHUDRA SHIRSHASANA

This way of performing headstands involves holding the entire body weight only upon your fingers,so that the fingers form the only layer that stands inbetween your head and the blankets supporting you from below(there must be like 5 thin blankets but never fat ones under your head here for better results).To get into the pose first perform normal Paripurna Shirshasana they show us in all yoga books 1 can find,and then pick the body a bit upwards with the power of your arms(this might be somewhat problematic even as yes recommendable for yoga beginners)and shoulders while holding your legs closer to a wall to prevent falling down,then lower your body to the fingers,both palms' fingers intertwined into 1 single block with no empty places among the fingers at all as this way it is performed best and no mistakes in such details are allowable.Yoga is a serious discipline and just like in any other such 1 unless 1 follows all the details correctly he will not find the desired result "at the end of the road".There is highly specific technology to it just the way any complicated science holds on to;and unless all its details are correctly done no nice result will be achieved.1 though must watch out for the fingers' skin to be free from cracking open and exposing the lying under the skin finger tissues;such an effect IS possible and must be carefully avoided;with time you will be capable of easily percieving the moment,after which the skin upon your pressured upon fingers would start cracking;the time will come for you to be able to recognize this moment pretty well as yoga performance is 1 of things that do increase one's sensitivity levels considerably and nicer sensitivity to things is a must to percieve dangerous situations like fingers' approaching cracking open of their skin;and stop performing this Shirshasana variation as the moment of cracking fingers' skin approaches.There is also 1 more effect Shudra Shirshasana brings its constant practitioner-that of constant pressure upon Kundalini(the entire muscular system inside of the skin and it is SO much more sizeable than the 1 we see in our byceps and other externally visible muscles too)with loss of undesirable effects Kundalini(simply speaking the muscular body's system)is capable of bringing upon a human being-overactive physical body 1 then simply HAS to deal with even as sometimes it is better to avoid such exercise for certain outsider results;this effect of oversized/greatly increased need for physical exercises' performance normally awaits both yogis and other athletes as well as yoga simply speaking is just 1 more,even as a highly original 1,a sport;the effect of managing the overactive body as it needs action while the brain instead needs peace and stability;and while in this particular pose 1 will have his Kundalini much under control as pressure upon the fingers increases sizeably and fingers' muscles are a very sizeable Kundalini piece other people will be dealing with it with normal ways;and in this way performing Shudra Shirshasana is certain to relieve your physical overactivity with recommendable for obtaining effects of diminished physical body overactivity along with this too;as our contemporary world dictates sizeable mental and intellectual activities performed on a regular basis and yogis are too physically developed to obtain sizeable physical peace,needed for intellectual activities to develop,Shudra Shirshasana will decrease the physical body/Kundalini demands with relief for the mentality as well;THIS effect this particular headstand variation does have will not be available to other headstand variations' practitioners and other physical workouts too.Wise people never stake upon 1 part of the system only and provide for most of the system's pieces just as well;in this way the entire system is well worked over and without losses in any particular spot;and i mean sportive people generally lack intellectual/wisdom developement here;this pose though helps to keep Kundalini in check to add once in a while to 1's brains just as well.This pose though is certainly more demanding than headstand normal variations(Paripurna pose by yoga works)are(as shown in yoga sources)as in it the pressure,applied to your fingers(which ARE under heavy physical pressure then)is reaching extra sizes 1 never sees otherwise,sometimes dangerous and resulting in open wounds the fingers' skin develop so.Once upon a time some while ago i myself wasnt careful enough and DID allow my finger to skin crack;outside of loss of capacity to perform headstands after this for some weeks,the skin of the then injured finger remains hard and inflexible up to this very day,this effect is best left aside to never bother you.Unless 1 watches his fingers carefully and removes the body's weight from them AS soon as they start suffering Shudra Shirshasana might indeed be even damgerous for your fingers.And the skin that HAD been injured then is definitely NOT the main player in it all,because sometimes the finger gives trouble even after no skin injure Shudra Shirshasana sessions might bring;meaning that injure was also upon a deeper cellular level,tissues keeping up with inworsement.Up untill this very day i have a rough and bad skin condition upon the finger,where once a large crack in that finger's skin cover opened,failing to find sufficient recovery for some motnhs after it all.There are though great uses in the pose,in particular much stronger blood circulation(as a part of your organism the fingers are well connected to other arterial tissues just as well)and other essential homeostatic processes deeply increased too that are then taking place inside of your fingers(and these are almost never taking place in other exercises).This particular pose is one's strongest ally against psychotic conditions 1 wishes to avoid.Funny as it may sound,the more nervous and psychotically active are you the more active and staggering your fingers always are;and the head that presses upon the fingers from above them holds those in a straight line under considerable bodily weight pressure,completely neutralizing and ''taking out of the game'' as they say the neurotic activity 1 might be showing in heavy life conditions.Energy though that is activizing the fingers in this way then keeps supporting the brain in a stable and desirable condition for it;and such ARE highly desirable for correct behaviour sometimes;and thats why i think this Shudra Shirshasana variation of headstands is this influential with neurotic and psychotically dangerous life conditions;and these latter ARE a real and aggressive danger to 1,being able to take 1 off his own course of action very much easily.Take for instance the famous in contemporary history assassin of late president Kennedy;i am positive that in case(and he certainly had a very serious neurotic condition as he was shooting then)he did hold himself in this Shudra Shirshasana pose for AS long as only 5 minutes(it DOES take some time to get the desired effect anyways),his entire desire to kill the president would evaporate into nothing;and no larger prize than saving one's life(mr Kennedy was doomed anyway)is around.Just the way it also is with Brahma Shirshasana,this pose is also very demanding not only to your fingers(to your backbone in case of Brahma Shirshasana),but it is also much harder to hold on to in those 2 just mentioned poses than it is to the normally seen in yoga literature variation of headstands(Paripurna Shirshasana the term here).And as it always is with things of larger principal importance,the poses of Brahma Shirshasana and Shudra Shirshasana will be somewhat harder to accomplish/hold on to for any considerable amount of time;this specifically applies to Brahma Shirshasana and less so to Shudra Shirshasana,which are harder to hold on to and so they do take from you less time you CAN spend in the poses.As what the public knows as headstand is the Paripurna Shirshasana variation only,and it is the simpliest(yet not the only 1)of several variations headstand pose can have.Among different Shirshasana pose variations that are decisive for solution of different psychotic influences upon an individual this particular pose is the strongest weapon 1 might wield to hold on to his healthy psycho and nicer nervous health too;like this Shudra Shirshasana is the best thing to use to 1)heal one's head out of different bad/undesirable mentality situations 1 might wish to avoid and there ARE such situations nowadays,when the amount of data that potentially can bring havoc to one's mind is this considerable;and also 2)significantly increase the homeostatic processes one's fingers hold to them and also 3)make one's nervous brain cells sufficiently active even with NO DETAILED SCIENCES applied,yet fully increasing the activity of one's brain all along this pose performed.Keep in mind that when you hold your entire body weight upon your fingers(there MUST be a lot of thin soft blankets,better all of these short threads filled,several layers like 8 or more,under them to avoid their skin destruction though)and the fingers you press upon in this way are mostly the smaller fingers like pinky etc interestingly quite naturally,the nervous threads that pass through them activize upon a very large/immense in some cases scale,and so they pressure the lower organs that are connected to them additionally into action that is much stronger,which then boosts the internal activities those lower organs even themselves are normally performing.Activity of the very brain itself even CAN be somewhat polluted/decreased in quality.Sensitive as i am,i notice that after Shudra Shirshasana specifically some of my internal organs in the digestive area are overly active.This is why i believe that such specialized headstand variations possess a much stronger health boosting action than the Paripurna Shirshasana itself does(this pose is exactly how we see headstands in popular literasture).Other variations of Shirshasana pose arent capable of making your ''gray cells''as science calls them(brain based neurons)perform satisfying them neuro activity,yet THIS variation definitely can,because fingers' neural tissues are richly connected to the brain itself and so are activizing the brain upon a large scale as they(the neural paths,connected to fingers' tips)are activized themselves.And it is of no real importance/meaning just which exactly a way of activization did the brain cells get as long as they ARE getting serious activization;and brain cells DO get active upon a large scale with AS simple an action as this Shudra Shirshasana pose performance.Meaning,for instance,that you will NOT need that much of mental activity daily if you simply use this particular headstand variation performed regularly each day;and when ''those'' outside to this body actions definitely lose ground in this organism,the very same action is yet added to this very body as the activized neural paths also tend then to activize INTERNAL bodily issues and schemes that keep metabolism of this body upon a higher state and condition.And ''these'' internal actions will get the very same amount of action that ''those'' outside ones lost just now;because this body is made so as not to lose any action and simply divert the energy they were spending elsewhere into a new,even as unknown by now,an action.1 may even program such changes himself,just the way this pose does.No other pose has larger healing influence upon one's brain than this Shudra Shirshasana has.I account Brahma Shirshasana as 150 % of what Paripurna adds to my overall health;and this Shudra Shirshasana as 130 % of what the very same time,spent in the regular headstand variation Paripurna Shirshasana brings me,simply because their influence is somewhat larger upon any individual.You will see that both these weird sounding(yet much useful in specific influences upon your health these provide nevertheless)poses of Brahma Shirshasana and Shudra Shirshasana hold to them stronger influence upon your health than the regularly shown in books variation of Paripurna Shirshasana(the headstand pose variation,most commonly seen inside of yoga books nowadays)can ever do.However,1 must carefully watch the condition his fingers develop as he stands in this particular pose.AS soon as his fingers start suffering from it(several minutes per 1 time ARE enough for myself,and i am a seasoned shirshasana user,who performs it daily for like 50 minutes after many approaches for years by now),1 must immidiately leave the pose for relaxation in Shavasana The Corpse Pose.For many people also such weird variations of headstands might mean real endagering of their backbones;as what we see in sources and by my own account is Paripurna Shirshasana is not even closely AS dangerous to the backbone condition as Brahma or Shudra or yet Nasa Shirshasana ones;for some people these particular headstand pose variations might bring backaches and more;so watch it closely as ANY ache you develop has to mean immidiate stop to the headstand you are performing.Always remember the golden rule with yoga/most any other thing too-"DONT LIKE-OFF YOU GO with the thing".Wasting your brain(you DO if you do things you hate)just isnt worth the time you spend there;brain "eats" not the results you gain with any action but instead the condition it itself is in as you perform it.In case these conditions arent kept up to(here i mean standing upon one's fingers for longer than the pressure applied starts harming the fingers' skin;or else standing in headsand for longer than till any backaches start appearing too)the fingers' skin is certain to rip open,the fingers' skin opening the flesh under them,later much worse healing than normally a finger's skin would,and the time for it to heal(well over 1 month,yet the skin condition always worse afterwards too)makes the entire story NOT worth pursuing.1 thing overpressing your fingers while standing upon them DOES do is making a complete mess out of your brain and its plans/ideas/day's programme etc.By overtiring the nervous endings of the fingers the brain itself ALSO gets quite well distracted out of completion of its own internal programmes;THATS the reason this happens;i did this quite more than a couple of times,unintentionally yet.

WEIQI

SCALE of exercises

As i sport i try to count each exercise i do daily.The point of such an accounting is as simple as to count the amount of workouts/exercises you perform to gradually increase such exercises as when 1 attempts to workout more the way to achieve this is often through watching for the progress made with comparing it to progress,made in recent previous days.Theres more to this process of accounting exercises though;1 of its effects is what hinduism calls "mantra meditation",or,simply speaking,orientation upon one's own voice for support in actions performed;and even as such traditional mantra meditation needs specific mantras repeated regularly,here all 1 needs is accounting the very same ever 10 numbers,likely though in numerous variations(i personally account around 80 000 exercises daily on average,all different even as attached to the very same exercises' scale).The "mantra meditation" effect(and this term is very much used in hinduism,of which i am a follower),connected to repetition of the just accounted/made exercises is another strong weapon 1 can wield to support him upon the way of physical condition improvement as well as to fight off distractions his brain normally faces in this overly active world nowadays.To do this you need to count all of these exercises(and there can be many types of these)in let us say ''1 single currency'',where 1 exercise is the main figure,from which the counting starts;and the according results will show you just how either better or worse your latest achievements had just been;its the very system each country has with banknotes with people,actively browsing their cash progress day by day with resulting growth of ''money making''.Same system is used exactly just that THIS cash(more realistic than dollars though as during these your internal organs grow and get enriched more)is accumulated not in the wallet but instead upon the internal health of numerous organs balance,all of which gradually increase in size/capacities,leaving our common unhealthy condition for training and later gradual improvement.Traditional dollars are "never forever" though let us say;they run away easily in our world;health 1 has though IS "forever and ever";the according results never leaving us whatever happens around.Theres a certain amount of physical exertion 1 exercise brings you;its approximately the same exhaustion you find while doing it.For me it is either a pressure i find in 1 pushup from the floor or 1 pranayama cycle,as both exercise this body about the same anount,which |IS what i call an exercise.Following schemes with calculating exercises you EARNED for your health helps attach your attention practically to things,too much related to this present life,of which we certainly a part of,never leaving it for too long,which is much recommendable in our life of constant flying around spheres 1 never can "feel with his own fingers" as i would call them-internet,books,TV etc.Calculating these does exactly this keeping your attention upon things below,which can and will support us their brains once we DO need this,and this DOES happen.This sort of NET you then make around the thingies your life follows also makes your mind richer as it works over this net,following its gradual increse in size exactly the way working people sometimes follow with pleasure increase of their money income from the work they are doing.And while THEIR net IS existing it might 1 day disappear for many reasons,while OUR physical body health connected net will always be around,not realistically diminishing in size;health we earn will support us in our later age as money isnt always able to do for rich moneywise people.For people that are NOT perfectly intellectually designed the way rich people certainly are THIS net they can be building in their lives still CAN provide the opportunity of gradual and also pleasurable growth in life sides they then CAN appreciate as YES growing up.For me the first number is headstand minutes i do per this current day;this thing i compare to being upon the city walls rejecting an attack by outside-of-the-city barbarians;as this is exactly what headstand CAN do-it can make tyour brain well in most any situation;and these are often hard to manage;but headstand CAN cope with such outside problems.Then we move to the next in line second number,which here is number of exercises i did throughout this current day,all calculated properly(and bringing along with it its second face,what religious call MANTRA MEDITATION,or,simply speaking,concentration upon your own voice,which absolutely brings relief from life complications;whenever do i observe poor by brains individuals they always make a great use of their own voices and that 1 reason to use your own too;no matter whether your brains ARE poor and weak or not,you WILL gain in this way as your stability of all actions will grow accordingly.Exercises(the 2nd number of 3 in my daily line)are what is done for health,which exactly WITH such an accounting practise is growing with interesting speed.And the 3rd number(the each day's line consists of 3 numbers)is the Day's Efficiency Index(DEI by the way is god in latin language)is division of number 2 over number 1;like if i did 129 minutes of headstands a day and 117 00(i tend to count in hundreds instead of thousands)approximately exercises per the entire month,the DEI went 91(117 00/divided over 129).All the just mentioned over numbers are real for this running away month of september 2025.

HALASANA the plough pose

The position your body is in during this pose reminds anscient times' plough,with which old times' people were once working over their soil;the head here as the plough piece that oopened the soil itself(a very interesting phylosofy to such things does yoga show us),and the legs the part,which was pulled by live horses to make the soil open. HOW TO DO Lay down face up;now raise your legs upwards and move them over your head so that they touched the ground behind and over the head itself;this pose is called Halasana the plough pose.The pose hurries the blood towards your brain and takes it away from your legs.If only a beginner(the body compensates this effect with time flowing very nicely as in case of every other pose too),you will find your legs deprived of blood and your head overflowing with it instead.Halasana is 1 of the more influential block of topsy-turvy poses(with your heads downwards and the legs pointing upwards),which influence the body for the most part as the gravitational power of the Earth pushes the bulk of your blood(medicine says the blood is somewhat like 7 litres of this extremely weighty and important for a human organism liquid,which is VERY influential for a human organism even as we never see it)from your legs etc towards your head then.I tend to leave this pose(as most any other 1 too by the way)right after i reach the point of heavy breathing,which though is most times easily achieved;and for a seasoned yoga practitioner it comes as he moves the legs around the floor left and then right pretty quickly. DWANDWA HALASANA This pose is never shown in yoga books but is possiblee for detection.While inside of Halasana and NOT developing heavy breathing(only beginners in yoga will get it right away)you should also try to move your legs to the left and after that to the middle and next to the right over the floor of the room,never taking the toes from the floor itself,but also only till heavy breathing is achieved;and the more do you move your legs from the normal straight over the head position the easier will you be achieving this heavy breathing condition as then your body gets stretched sideways considerably,causing the heavy breathing effect.I make such movements to the left and to the right several times during each of my Halasana pose attempts,accounting 1 exercise with every new heavy breathing achieved,but this perfected way of performing Halasana will come to you only after considerable time of this Halasana pose use. HASTA HALASANA Performed as with your legs above your head while you move them into Halasana,but before you reach Halasana itself(and thats when your toes DO touch the floor behind your head)you instead get to support your legs(in the spot,right above each knee as not to pressure the knees' muscles,which are very vivid and sensitive/must never undergo any considerable pressure to them/must never be pressed upon)with your hands(hand=hasta in sanskrit),and preferrably not by the palms themselves,but by their edges only,the edges between the forefinger and the index 1 as this form is simply more productive,allowing less blood flow into the palms and instead concentrating upon the general blood transformations throughout your body;and this exactly why i personally find Hasta Halasana a very useful pose even as other authors never mention it in their yoga books,and i had seen several myself.This pose,even as never mentioned in any of yoga books,is very good for developing good balancing of the body and you will see that it isnt an easy task to hold the entire body weight upon your 2 palms in this pose.This is just 1 more reason yoga books authors never mention this Halasana pose variation-this pose is for nice yoga specialists,the condition,not too easily reached by people.I find that each palm must hold on to the knee area in the vertical position and only by its portion that is situated closer to the thumb and never horizontally and/or never by the entire palm,but instead by the border of each palm,facing the thumb,as in this horizontal way your hands will achieve additional pressurizing,which isnt recommended here.Like this the real achiever of gains this pose gives you will always be your wrists.Indeed though even larger gains getting here,your blood pressure is specifically worked over in it-its simply not easy to hold on to the pose;unlike in Paripurna Halasana,where blood isnt under THIS pressure,blood here is much heavier "working out" let us say.Instead pressure be better put upon other body parts.Hasta Halasana pose is mostly working to develop your entire body balancing correctly and never involves too much power expenditure the way Paripurna Halasana does.And what i personally add with poses like this to yoga is so much more acrobatics than the overly stable traditionally seen in yoga books poses offer;and thats because i suppose these need additions to boost other health areas this body possesses.It well works over air balancing management and most of what it tires quickly is your wrists and their strenght accordingly rises considerably with time flowing,which is 1 of interesting physical body developements Hasta Halasana will bring you and also 1 that other yoga poses mostly arent capable of offering their practitioner.While standing in this Hasta Halasana pose stably 1 might find recommendable to do its sidekick pose/smaller partner pose Dwandwa Hasta Halasana,where instead of holding both the legs straight and close to each other you slowly move the 2 legs apart and towards your sides for AS long as you can,definitely returning to Paripurna Hasta Halasana AS soon as you start developing heavy breathing though;i personally find it pretty soon.It stretches body sides,then tends to gradually elongate the tendons that hold the entire body together in 1 single piece,and so is a valuable addition to Paripurna Hasta Halasana(Paripurna term meaning that the discussed pose is in its most straightforward/perfectly correct and least doubtful variation,seen in any yoga related book)pose.Paripurna ANY pose can be in doubt as of its correctness but the Paripurna version never can,and instead Paripurna version is ever classical EACH good yogi will admit IS correct.The prowess of your wrists(it is following suit your Hasta Halasana practise after a while indeed)is never the goal of any yoga poses,at least in the classical yoga books,which all say that it is internal organs' condition what they seek.I would call this Hasta Halasana pose 1 of the most important yoga poses for a beginner in the art of yoga.It is not AS heavy as to threaten any important body parts,yet it practises most of your physical body parts to the utmost as you are JUST into yoga and so 1 will find it 1 of best yoga poses as he just starts practising yoga.There is another exercise i always add to my Halasana practising right after it;it is when(normally during Halasana your palms are laying upon the floor just above your head,but never touching it anyway,just being AS close to it as possible)i take the legs' toes by my palms,extending the hands from around my head to reach them,and activize the entire body muscles system,trying to overextend the legs further with pulling the arms all along with them.Each of such smaller poses that surround the large 1 and add to it 1 thing/effect or another,are done after the large and sanskrit termed Paripurna pose is finished(it goes as the first of the block of the ''same minded poses'' for the greatly incresed general effect 1 pose makes upon me.

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.
