In the Indian tradition it is said that the tree of life is turned upside down, that is, with its roots above and branches below. Equally
the human being has its roots in the brain, spinal trunk elongated and central venous and arterial branches of peripheral nerves, veins and arteries.
These are channels that transport our energy in various forms, the channels must be "made clean" by the practice of asanas because the / in the body the practitioner has a valuable tool for the realization of their human potential, both in relation to the self in relations.
What I want to bring this idea is a saying that covers a relatively frequent in the practice of asana, which is the forward bending of the back and forth.
The stress on the spine that is made and then the spinal cord can be quite strong in and involves both its own particular "state of mind" associated with it.
bends forward (eg Paschimottanasana or laying of intense bending of the back while sitting) the sadhaka has a stable ground and the mind is free to think, while back in the fall (eg ustrasana or the camel pose , or Supta vayrasana or installation of lightning reverse) the mind is fully concentrated and "closed", which was taken from manetnimento posture but the balance is precarious, it can yield.
Therefore it is said that those who exaggerate inflections in the back will have a clear mind and great ability to concentrate, but run the risk of yielding, that will have little mental stability, while those who exaggerate the bending forward will have stability, but his mind will tend to distraction.
As always common sense to our aid and we are determining these stresses and their consequences for our inner growth relying on bodily sensations, on listening to ourselves while practicing trying to be balanced in their distribution during the asanas that we take our daily practice.
