Exercise Set for Balancing Head and Heart

1) Sit in Easy Pose, arms straight out to the sides from


the shoulders with the hands bent up at the wrists at a
90 o angle, palms facing out and fingers together. The
movement is in 4 parts, starting with the beginning
position (A) . On count 2 rotate the hands at the wrists
so that the fingers point straight forward (8) . On count
3 return to the original position (A), and on count 4
rotate the wrists so that the fingers point straight
backwards (C) . The elbows will rotate. Move in a
rhythm of one full cycle per 4 seconds. Keep the arms
straight and continue for 6- 7 minutes, inhaling in
position A, exhaling in positions 8 and C.
This exercise changes the chemistry of the brain fluid.

2) Still in Easy Pose, extend the arms straight out to


the sides, palms facing out (A). In the first part of the
exercise, inhale as the arms are raised up to form an
arc with the palms crossing over and slightly in front
of the top of the head without touching (8). Lower the
arms to the original position as you exhale, and then
raise the arms again as you inhale, this time cross the
palms over and slightly behind the top of the head
(C). Continue the motion powerfully and always keep
the arms parallel to the floor when in position A.
Continue for 1-2 minutes.

3) Stand up and add Crow squats to the arm


movements of exercise 2. As you exhale come down
into Crow Pose, a crouching position with the knees
drawn into the chest and soles of the feet flat on the
floor (A). As you inhale and bring the arms up over
the head, come into a standing position. Continue
alternately squatting in Crow Pose and standing
up with the arm movement for 3-4 minutes at a
speed of 1 second per movement.
