You see, most of us are told not to rotate. That we must not twist or we will ‘pull’ something. And why that might be true for people who don’t regularly twist you won’t ‘pull’ things if you regularly do this.

You see, rotation is so special to the body there are specific nerves cells that measure it (ruffini) and they tell the brain what is happening.

The special cells also do some amazing other things in the body like stimulate your parasympathic nervous system (rest and repair) when they are activated. So, simply doing these rotations while deep breathing can take you from a state of stress to a state of relaxation.

This will improve your digestion, lower your blood pressure, decrease cortisol levels and help you live longer…sounds too good to be true doesn’t it. Well, it is true, breath work and rotation is a magic formula, something our Chinese cousins have been doing for 1000’s of years! Try this for 1-3 minutes a day for a week and tell me how you feel.
