HE BONES – BODY MECHANICS: THE BACKBONE – TAKING THE WEIGHT OFF THE SPINEWe often say we need to take the weight off our feet, when in fact it would be much better to relieve the spine of the crushing pressure of an unbalanced head. Ten minutes on the floor in the middle of the day, or whenever you are tired, can:• Take the pressure off the spine• Allow the bones to fall into a natural position• Improve the circulation.Stop! Just for ten minutes:1 Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor.2 Stretch your neck by placing a few paperback books or a firm pillow at the base of your skull.3 Stay there for ten minutes then get up slowly.It would be ideal if you could imagine your spine becoming straight and flexible as you lie there, but if you cannot – and continue to work out your income tax or write mental shopping lists during the exercise – you will still benefit because of being in this position.*122\326\8*
