Perspectives

Either you will go through this door or you will not go through. If you go through there is always a risk of remembering your name. Things look at you doubly and you must look back and let them happen. If you do not go through it is possible to live worthily, to maintain your attitudes and to hold our position to die bravely, but much will blind you, much will evade you, at what cost who knows? The door itself makes no promises, it is only a door.

– Adrienne Rich

So it goes like this, change the way you look at things and the things you look at will begin to change. According to Dr. Dwayne Dyer, the “truth of this maxim is actually found in the field of quantum physics” apparently on the smallest subatomic level; the act of observing a particle can transform the particle. The beauty however lies in extending this metaphor to much larger particles such as ourselves. Only then can we start to see ourselves as unique “particles” and our awareness will grow significantly. The powerful construct of changing perspectives is a successful movement that links prosperity and abundance to a holistic model of healing and healthy mental health.

How can one physically change their perspective to mirror their psychological positive view of themselves? Certain yoga poses elicit the act of “transforming” views of the surrounding environment. The Headstand can relieve stress, this cooling posture is a beneficial way to draw attention inwards and can reduce stress and anxiety. Increasing focus can be achieved with the headstand, when turned upside down blood flow is increasing to your brain. This can improve mental function and increase your sense of focus. Lastly headstands can improve digestion and help flush out the adrenal glands. The benefits of the prior can help release trapped gases and improve blood flow to improve nutrient absorption and delivery. The benefits of the latter will cause a gentle squeeze of your adrenal glands which are responsible for producing stress hormones; the clearer these wonderful glands are the more optimal they will function.

So I invite you now to examine your perspectives on your work, life, loved ones, and hopefully- if necessary- by changing your perspectives you achieve a greater fulfillment on your vision, which at present you may find out is your foundation, by doing so I invite you to progress on a continuum of growth and life shifting.
