Prophet Muhammad did teach that each joint has a daily right over us and a spiritual purpose, but people forget the importance of variety. We find those who live past 100 were those who kept moving more than in and out of seats; especially when it gets past 120.

Thanks for this fantastic Breakdown ! I shall copy to a file and then learn the 8 brocades, which seem simple , having done various Chi Kung routines. Isn’t it great that a decent YouTube can reveal a lot?Especially when one is not in Brooklyn or Pasadena, or Chippendale.

I came across a great guided pranayama exercise on YouTube :

Ananda Mandala

It’s 30 minutes and amazing for mental clarity and feeling one’s chi buzzing away blissfully.

A separate Tibetan exercise I learned 15 years ago is a minimum daily- inhale deep, vigorously , raising arms above head for as many times as you have years…. So it ups the ante as you age!

Yes, but only the true master can do the ancient yogic nose stand, the schnozasana . . .
