Practice the headstand posture only under able guidance, spread out a sheet folded fourfold make and sure that it does not slip and kneel down, fold the hands and place the lower arms on the floor, clasp the back of the head with your hands and slowly raise the legs, until they are straight up, in the beginning remain in this posture for 5 seconds only and prolong the period daily for a few seconds to twenty minutes or half an hour. With the discontinuation of the posture the legs should be brought down slowly
Do everything gradually and be peaceful and free. Think of the good things in your life: Your family; that good breakfast you had. The whole of eternity is indeed before you, yet you should not be idle. Practice on an empty stomach, if you have time carry out posture slowly very slowly both in the morning and in the evening, avoid jerkin movement
While you stand on your head breath slowly through the nose never through the mouth , stout persons find it easier to place the hands on sides of the head on the floor, once you have learnt to remain well balanced than you should stretch out the legs
He who has done balancing exercises on the bars or on the floor finds this posture easy, ask a friend to hold your legs fast or in the beginning try in the proximity of a wall.
In the beginning you may be perhaps overcome by giddiness while doing this headstand posture, yet this passes off soon, avoid rising suddenly after the posture in order to protect the heart from the congestion of the blood, stay laying down and rest yourself for five minutes and drink thereafter a cup of milk, if you continue for a longer time in this posture you should take some light refreshment soon after. In summer the exercise should not be prolonged too long, in winter on the other hand as long as you like, during the headstand posture take a deep breath and think of something elevating or pray.
