I have a question about tuning in. I was wondering if the main purpose is to stimulate the pineal and pitituary glands, can I just perform a headstand in place of the mantra. Headstands rush blood to the brain and stimulate the glands. Or do you strictly have to tune in using the standard method. Please let me know, thanks!
Following this ayp method is a slow and stead process and headstand will stimulate the crown chakra which we dont want it at the initial stage.but headstand is good asana you can do it but don't use any mantra as such while doing the headstand.
Although glands do play the vital role in this but mantra will will purify the whle nervous system which th headstand would do(but it does has its own advantage.So I think instead of mantra the headstand option may notbe the right choice.
