Keep It Straight

I didn't intend to write about this until the week was over but I thought it might be helpful to record how I'm going about achieving "inversion" First off I have a pretty low futon that I used for the first two days. I'd sit on the futon and bend over my knees with my head facing the floor (just like I'm painting my toe nails). I also sucked in my belly because hey...I might as well. I haven't had any problems getting up from that position so you might want to give it a try. Yesterday I had a flash of inspiration and decided to start my inversion in downward dog. Which is an excellent position because your head is facing down. You also get to work out your arms, legs, back and butt for 4 minutes. I held that position for 5 deep breaths then moved into a hip opener or three legged downward dog . I do that for each leg and that usually gets me to about 1min 25 or 1min Then for the last minute I got onto my hands and knees but still kept my head ...

I came across this method last night and i'm eager to try it. Apparently by massaging your scalp with hot oil (I'm going to try it with hair trigger elixir...and cold) and then holding your head 'upside down' you can stimulate hair growth and grow about an inch in just a week. *looks skeptical* It sounds fishy but I've seen pictures on youtube and I figure why not. Here are the rules 1. You must only invert your head for 4/ FOUR minutes. Pretty obvious if you think about it. Your head was not meant to have all that blood swishing around in it. If you want to avoid injury...stick closely to this rule. 2. DONT DO IT OFF A BED. Do not! Do not! use a bed to invert your head. Per YouTube peoples, one woman tried it and lost her eyesight for a couple of minutes. Yes...EYESIGHT. 3. You must rise up slowly after inverting your head. SLOWLY so that you reduce your dizziness. *4. If you do  hardcore yoga, you're probably already doing some variation of a hands...
