15.01.2022 Like in meditation each person has to feel backbends. - BKS Iyengar. The spine is the root of the human system. Standing poses are the beginning. In standing p...oses, you move forward and backward as a peripheral action you can take deeper later, with twists and all those things. In twists, the side muscles of the spine are activated. In forward bends the posterior muscles and vertebrae are activated. But in these poses we never use the anterior spine to such an extent that it also is bathed in blood, as it is in backbends. When you do these asanas, you are educating the entire human system without forgetting even the invisible parts of the bodies. Even the toes are activated in certain poses, particularly in backbends. The sternum also is activated in backbends. That area nobody knows. Only in backbends can you touch that part. Otherwise, for many people, it’s hollow. Backbends, when they are done correctly, allow you to touch the human system as a whole. In other poses you touch from the outside. In backbends you touch from inside. So we know how to educate the mind in both ways. In Sirsasana, or forward bends or balancings, your mind is an extrovert. Of all the poses, it’s only in backbendings that your mind is going in. You hit your mind toward the internal body. Even in forward bends, you have to use the mind which is on the outer body, but in backbends the outer mind doesn’t work at all, the inner mind works. And you see that the inner mind is in command over the outer mind. And that’s the beauty of itthen you are touching everywhere. People may not understand when I speak of the mind. It’s the subconscious mind which is awakened in backbends and that’s why when you do a lot of backbends you will never become emotionally disturbed because the subconscious mind is made conscious throughout in backbends. It’s not a question of the physical body’s stamina. The subconscious mind is made to be more than conscious in backbends. In other poses your subconscious mind will be sleeping. Or unoccupied. The conscious brain alone works. Only in backbends the unconscious or the subconscious mind works. That’s the beauty of it. And that’s why I say it takes a long time. Sub means below, below the level. So in backbends we bring the mind to all the levels. That’s the beauty of backbends. Emotionally we can never be disturbed, for the emotional center has become an extrovert. When you do Viparita Dandasana, your head looks backwards. But your conscious mind stretches everywhere. So you must study the subject this way. You go on studying. Then you know not only is there a freedom to the spine, there is a freedom to the spirit. B.K.S.
