Yoga exercises for depression ? - Kind attn Khalsaji.

[Guest guest]

Dear Khalsaji,

 

Namaste. Thanks a million for the information you have provided. I

was not aware that the neck lock meant pulling back the head. I

thought it was pulling the head down so that the chin touched the

chest. Thank you for clarifying. The value of your post will increase

manifold if you kindly give the benefits of the individual bandhs.

 

What regime of yoga (asana, pranayama and bandha) would you suggest

for depression?

 

Thanks in advance,

Jagannath.

 

Ps: I think ayurveda, Guru Khalsa

I believe you may have a misunderstanding, i don't

think Khalsaji said that you have to pull the head

back, you have to pull the neck in to the spine..

towards the neck.. down!

 

often people will rotate the chin so it extends the

neck down and chin goes to chest.. the way to do this

is to sit straight, neck straight up and then drop the

chin, thereby bending the neck the least and not

rotating it down.. the chin should be pressing into

the throat almost, but a bit lower..... hope this

makes it clearer

This is a good explanation. I think you hit the nail on the head when

you said "rotate". The neck does not rotate up or down, simply back.

You can take a book and place it between your neck and your chin.

Keep the book there by pulling the chin back towards the spine.
