Warning: This is an advanced yogic technique and must not be practiced if you have some kind of head, neck or other chronic illnesses. Also, pregnant women are not advised to perform this asana. It is always safe to consult your doctor before practicing this asana. This asana completely removes depression and brings numerous other benefits. It also improves concentration and makes the mind calm. This asana is called "Sirsasana." Follow these simple steps: 1) Start by practicing against a wall. Kneel down in front of a wall. Interlace your hands. Place your elbows a shoulder width apart on the floor and then place the outer edges of your interlaced hands on the floor, touching the wall. Place the crown of your head on the floor, inside your hands. 2) Raise your hips and straighten your legs. Pull your upper back away from the wall, press your forearms down and lift your shoulders away from the floor. 3) Come up, one leg at a time. 4) Place your feet but not your buttocks on the wall. To avoid compressing your neck, secure a strong base: continue raising your shoulders up and pressing your shoulder-blades in. Touch the inner edges of your feet together and stretch your legs up. 5) Gradually move away from the wall, a few inches at a time until you can balance without support. Don’t be in a hurry to do this. Work diligently and methodically to develop strength and balance.
