Memory Enhancing Tip: Inversions make You Smarter
Jan.06, 2010
I love how often the most powerful and life transforming advice is the easiest thing to implement. All it takes is a little action on our part. Today I have a fun and simple technique that you can use which will restore and maintain memory, alertness, and increase the supply of blood flow into your brain. Yogis regard the head stand (Sirshasana) as the major posture to increase capacity and power in the brain. Well, this takes it to a whole new level…
Inversions can align and decompress your spine, increase blood flow, circulation and flexibility in your body, help regulate and heal your thyroid gland, reverse the aging effects of gravity, bring you a sense of relaxation and peace, increase oxygenation in your brain, and eliminate pain.
I know this from experience. On Christmas day I woke up with the worst “crick in my neck” imaginable. My pain lasted several days and none of my natural remedies or treatments helped. I decided to try out our new OM gym even with the pain in my neck and after only 2 minutes of inversion my neck felt significantly better! After 3 more OM gym sessions my pain was completely GONE!!
In conclusion I feel Richard Hittleman said it best…. “The heart is always pumping against gravity to circulate the blood into the vital organs and glands situated above it. With the body in the inverted positions those organs and glands are now below the heart. The effect of this simple maneuver on the entire organism is truly remarkable.”
