A Self-Help Series of Postures for Special Conditions

Exercise for Polarizing the Energy Currents

Health Building, page 163 figure

This neutral position of the body is completed with the hands under the arches of the feet, so the Polarity Currents can be completed and flow freely. The elbow joints are over the knees, and the head is bent forward in a relaxed position in order to stretch the muscles of the neck and back.

Then a rocking motion is used - forwards and backwards - while the hands are pulling on the soles of the feet. Breathe out when the abdomen is squeezed by this motion, and breathe in when it is released. Next, rock from side to side and continue the same natural way of breathing as with the forward and backward motion. After that, rotate the body in a circular motion - clockwise and counter-clockwise - in as wide a circle as possible. This strengthens the pelvic muscles and is very helpful for lower back conditions.
