Yoga tip: from my experience

Strangely, I find doing side twists, side leg lifts actually helps me with back bend. Why that is so, cannot imagine. But if u want to go deeper in your cobra, u can follow that up with some side leg lifts (dynamic anantasana, for instance).

When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no fountains or springs of water;Before the mountains were settled into place, before the hills, I was brought forth;While as yet the earth and the fields were not made, nor the first clods of the world. When he established the heavens I was there, when he marked out the vault over the face of the deep; When he made firm the skies above, when he fixed fast the foundations of the earth; When he set for the sea its limit, so that the waters should not transgress his command; Then was I beside him as his craftsman, and I was his delight day by day. ..Happy the man watching daily at my gates, waiting at my doorposts;For he who finds me finds life.

(Wisdom, personified as a woman, in the Proverb 8, Old Testament)

World as illusion: science speak

Free MySpace Animations!

But our experience of a stable outside world is a consistent illusion that the brain creates. It is an illusion that has been `designed' long before we arrived on earth, for the purpose of biological survival. The illusion begins at the first neuron. Our senses grab only a little of reality; the eye takes in a trillionth of the energy which reaches it, the ear similarly. So, our experience of the world as stable is so because of the way the brain is organized, not because of the way the world is.

From The Healing Brain, by Robert Ornstein and David Sobel.
