Great post! Have you heard any of David Wolfe's talks about inversions? (I'm a big fan of his)
He says that your body produces norepinephrine to stay upright, which we are almost ALL the time, even when we sleep, because our heads rest on a pillow. By inverting we shut it off and our body is able to rest and heal.
He also ties it in with his angle of how it reverses the process of accumulating "bad calcium." Basically, it's calcium in the wrong form and it's heavy. There's a quote by Rudolf Steiner "We are taken out (of life) by substances that are seized by the force of gravity." Bad calcium is heavy, so it is seized by gravity anc accumulates in the body. Eventually, it's hard for us to walk and it gets worse until we're in the ground (grave). By inverting we can flip that process around.
That also ties into his idea of eating food (and water) with levitational substances (ORMUS), but that's another story. Just thought you'd like that take on inverting since you're into yoga :)
Great looking place, btw.
I love David Wolfe And I will definitely check out this talk, do you have link with a nice one of his? I haven't listened to his voice for quite a while now.
It depends on what topic you're interested in hearing about. A lot of his great stuff is paid content. And a lot of his best youtube videos are either hard to find on there or have been taken down. Here's a link to his podcast. I think the older episodes are the best: http://thebestdayever.buzzsprout.com/396
wow thanks for sharing this! I am also a fan of David Wolfe but somehow I missed his talk on invertions. Great information, thank you so much for sharing this with me, I will research more. It seems that there's so much more benefits that I didn't know about! :)
He sprinkles those nuggets into his talks here and there, but I think he dedicated an entire hour + lecture to it in one of his talks at the Longevity Now Conference.
