      Wooden Pillow Exercises for Stiff Neck, Shoulder Pain, Spinal Health, and Relaxation - Body & Brain Yoga Education

      Introduction

      An old proverb states, Greatness lies in simplicity, and this book, Wooden Pillow Exercises , might prove that point. In a world full of sophisticated technologies and ingenious gadgets, it is surprisingly simple. Wooden pillows, in essence, are nothing more than small, lightweight pieces of wood. While they are carefully designed and finished to fit the curves of the body, their form is straightforward.

      On top of that, wooden pillows are extremely easy to use. All you need to do is press your body against it. The design of the pillow, your body weight, and gravity then do all of the work.

      Why You Need This Book

      The simplicity of the wooden pillow, however, belies its many uses and potential benefits. It can be used on most parts of the body and may be combined with breathing and focus on the body to improve not only everyday complaints, such as headaches and tired feet, but also more serious chronic disease conditions, like diabetes and heart disease. This book is meant to help you get the most out of your wooden pillow and discover the many uses that you couldn’t have imagined on your own.

      Even the simplest, most obvious use—realignment and relaxation of the neck—can be accentuated and expanded through the detailed, complete instruction offered here. Since much of the tension that we hold in our body manifests in the form of headaches and stiff necks, learning to release that will do wonders for your health and well-being. You will also learn how to target all parts of the head and neck through adjustments to the position of your neck and the pillow. Learning variations in the position of the pillow and the movement of your head will allow you to target specific muscle groups and acupressure points, which will help you resolve these recurring issues permanently—or to find instant relief if they only pop up occasionally.

      But the neck and head are only the beginning. Through this book, you will also learn detailed and precise ways to use the wooden pillow on many other parts of the body. It can be used successfully for intestinal difficulties such as mild diarrhea or recurrent constipation, as it effectively relaxes the abdomen and removes blockages from the digestive tract. The pillow may also be used successfully to refresh and deeply massage your feet and legs after a day spent walking or standing at work, or for more serious foot problems such as plantar fasciitis or fallen arches. Knots and tension in the lower and upper back can also be released as you learn to position the pillow properly. And these are only a few examples of its myriad uses.

      Manage Your Energetic Health

      The pillow works so well for so many different conditions because, when used to its full potential, it becomes an all-purpose energy healing tool. Through this book, you will learn basic concepts and principles about the human energy system described and used in Asian medicine. You will learn how to use your wooden pillow to target specific energy meridians and acupressure points to relieve pain in your body or to address other health issues you are facing.

      Blockages in the energy system are common today because of the relentless, low-level stress we experience daily, which causes us to hold tension in our bodies and throws our overall energy system into a state of imbalance. If you’ve ever experienced headaches, a stiff neck, digestive problems, or stiff joints, you have experienced the results of stress on the body. In today’s world, practically everyone has experienced something of this sort, and we tend to treat these things as though they are just normal, something we must put up with, but we don’t have to. Over time, these unhealthy energy conditions usually turn into more serious issues such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. The wooden pillow allows you to target some of these energetic issues before they develop into something truly serious or life-threatening.

      It’s the wooden pillow’s straightforward design that allows you to do this. Its perfect shape, matched to the natural curves of the human body, helps to open and stimulate your many energy meridians and acupressure points. By combining use of the pillow with the content of this book, you can become a healer of your own energy system without the need to study Asian medicine or acupuncture in any detail. This book presents, in a clear, straightforward way, all the basic information you need to know for effective, energetic self-care using your wooden pillow.

      Get in Alignment and Get Healthy

      Another important benefit of the wooden pillow is alignment. The pillow doesn’t just stimulate the energy points on the body, it realigns the bones and muscles of the body, too, offering a light chiropractic adjustment. Proper alignment is very important for energy flow in the body as well, and it can help reverse or prevent the causes of pain and wear and tear on the body as you age. So yes, the wooden pillow is also an anti-aging device.

      Even if we are active, our modern lifestyle tends to put our bodies’ structures out of balance while we sit too long in cars and behind desks, or as we stare for hours at computer monitors and smartphones. If you follow the directions presented here, you can use the pillow to help maintain your own proper skeletal and muscular alignment, which is an important key to looking and feeling youthful and energetic.

      Does It Really Work?

      But how can you know that it really works? Well, the most obvious thing is to give it a try if you haven’t already. If you try it out for just five minutes, you will be amazed. Most people who use it immediately exclaim, Ahhh, yes! because it feels so good and the release is so immediate, even for people who are not experiencing pain. But the healing effects can be far more profound than this. Many people have found permanent relief from very serious problems such as chronic back pain and recurrent headaches. Just consider some of these reviews about wooden pillows:

      I’m a huge fan of the wooden neck pillow for tension relief after spending hours on the computer at work. —YASMIN

      It works through all the knots in your neck area and leaves you feeling much better. So glad I have finally found it after all these years. —CHRISTINA
