HEALING THROUGH YOGA-Help for the SINUSES
Do you have clogged or inflamed sinuses? Do you usually ‘curl up in a ball’ or go to bed for temporary relief? If you answered “yes’, then here is a wonderful posture to alleviate these issues so you feel better & ready for your daily tasks, and some Fun!
Place a bolster or several blankets rolled the long way on the floor. Sit & bring your lower back to the edge of the bolster. Inhale: from your sitting bones to the top of your head, lengthening your spine & bringing your arm bones back, shoulder blades flat on your back. Exhale: & slowly lie back on the bolster with your head on another blanket so your cervical spine & neck are in a natural curve, your throat open, your eyes soft.
Bring your heels together & place a blanket under your thighs. Elbows bent, rest your arms, palms up, by your side. You want to be totally relaxed so your chest is open and you can concentrate on your breathing.
Very gently, visualize your breath flowing over your entire body. With each inhale from your belly, take this energy into your trachea, the wind pipe, and widen it, taking the air to your lungs, so you fill up all the little alveoli. Exhale the entire length of your spine as you broaden your back & open your heart.
Release all your tension: Just enjoy being with your breath and creating space within your torso. You will feel revitalized & refreshed. Now, go have some fun!
