Try this to help you get 'out of the blues'
and rejuvenate!
Lean your head forward down into the palms of your hands, relaxing your arms on a support.

As you inhale think of calm
flowing through into your body and as you exhale,
allow your body to sink and relax.


Inverted postures work particularly well, say Dr. Karen Koffler, an internist who trained in the Integrative Medicine Program at the University of Arizona. They alter the blood flow, benefiting lymphatic drainage and the cranial sacral fluid. “And if there is increased blood flow to the head area, “ she adds, “there will be increased bioavailability of oxygen and glucose—the two most important metabolic substrates for the brain.”

Patricia Walden, an international yoga teacher trainer, recommends supported inversions as well as backbends for people suffering from a depression characterized by inertia or fatigue. For those experiencing anxiety, she advises a more active sequence, modified according to experience and physical energy level. Walden tells her depressed students to keep their eyes open wide while practicing, and to move from posture to [posture without pausing in between, to generate life force and focus the mind on the body.

Because there are different types of depression, some poses and sequences will work better for you than others,. Listen to the needs of your body and mind and make modifications accordingly. You will inevitably face difficult thoughts or feelings in your practice. Balance these with positive ones. As you create physical space within your poses, you’ll create space within your consciousness as well.

Be Well, Live Well~~~
