The
Headstand
Sirsasana
Considered
from the Yogi the "King of Asana" because of its
prodigious
benefits, the Headstand is the first of the 12 asana
and
is considered by many to be a panacea for countless human
ills.
It
regenerates the body and the mind. Re-establish a perfect
equilibrium
between negative and positive energy.
Sitting
and standing for most of the day causes your circulation
to
become sluggish, so your heart has to work harder to pump
sufficient
blood to the upper parts of your body.
Normally,
your heart works against gravity; inverting your entire
body
lessens the strain on your heart, and allows a plentiful
supply
of oxygen-rich blood to reach your head and brain.
Headstand,
and other inverted poses, increase circulation,
stimulate
the brain, enhance glandular system functioning, and
relieve
pressure on the abdominal organs.
Benefits: Stimulates hypophysis, stops
and prevent the decline
of the organs, is very useful for prolapsed uterus, the
prostate
and loins, prevents and cures the formation of varicose veins
and
hemorrhoids, reinforces the memory and ability of
concentration,
improves digestion and expulsion, cures every weakness of the
abdominal organs, headaches and flu, prevents and cures hair
loss.
Contraindication: To avoid absolutely in the menstrual period,
with inflammation on the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, and with
low or high arteriose blood pressure, in case of lesion on the
spinal column, take off any Lents and glasses.
