Clearing the Energy Centers (chakras) – gentle spinal stretching
Gentle stretching in the vertical sagittal plane, is also a way to directly exercise the organs by making them move and slide against each other breaking down adhesions. Moving the spinal column in “all directions, every day” is a why to maintain flexibility and strength of the spine and its many components.
Circulation is also increased as the gentle squishing of the core provides a “tourniquet effect” of the blood flow being somewhat restricted and then released to flush through the veins and arteries.
Watch the video to see one method of stretching the spine, relieving stress, increasing oxygen intake and becoming more self-aware.
