Cayce’s Head And Neck Exercise & Rolls

Now we come to the most popular exercise of all, the Cayce head-and-neck exercises and rolls. These are prescribed for, both morning and evening, and are particularly valuable to relieve muscle tension for people engaged in desk work, typing, piano playing, and other activities that strain head, neck, eyes, shoulders, and arms. It is also prescribed for individuals who work under a lot of stress. Mr. Cayce, responding to a client, asking, "How may my eyes be strengthened so as to eliminate the necessity of reading glasses," replied, "By the head and neck exercise in the open as you walk for 20 or 30 minutes each morning (2533-6).

The numbers at the end of the above paragraph (2533-6) is a part of Mr. Cayce's numerical directory list. The number 2533-6 indicates that the individual's identification number is 2533 and it was his or her 6th reading. All of Mr. Cayce's readings are listed in his archives. In fact, out of over 14, 000 reading Mr. Cayce recommended these exercises to 250 people suffering with various forms of eye and ear troubles and to 50 others for a wide variety of other complaints. In addition to aiding Vision and hearing, it is an excellent stimulant to the thyroid and appetite control.

Mr. Cayce suggested that these be performed in the morning in a standing position and in the afternoon or evening in a. sitting position.

Mr. Cayce says: "I prefer my patients to start off with the sitting position so that they can press their shoulders and back into the back of a chair keeping their posture erect and head straight and centered, and mentally reaching for the ceiling."

When we remove the pressures of the toxic forces we will improve the vision. Also the head and neck exercise will be most helpful. Take this regularly, not taking it sometimes and leaving off sometimes, but each morning and each evening take this exercise regularly for 6 months and we will see a great deal of difference:

Exceptions

I would like to point out that while most people will find that performing the horizontals before going to bed is very relaxing and conducive to sound sleep, there is the exceptional person who may be over-stimulated by them. If you are one of these exceptions, I suggest that these exercises be performed before dinner. A side benefit is that they normalize the appetite of nervous people who tend to over eat or eat too fast at the evening meal. The exercise must be done slowly.

Horizontal exercises will have a tendency to normalize the circulation and take the strain off the arterial capillaries.

* The Addition Of Posterior Head And Neck Translation Exercise

Mr. Cayce died in 1945. In the last fifty years man’s new inventions are placing greater "Out-Of- Plumb" stress demands on our posture. One of these abnormal posture stress demands causes our head and neck to translate forward. When this forward head and neck displacement starts to occur it creates many ailments not seen with that of a good posture. The solution, which corrects anterior head and neck translation, is exercising the head and neck in posterior (backward) translation.

The addition of a seventh head and neck exercise (posterior head and neck translation) to Mr. Cayce’s already every effective six, provides us with another postural solution to the ever complexing stress demands being placed on our life styles and our posture.

Mr. Cayce’s recommends that you perform these exercises twice a day, once in the morning while sitting and once in the evening while standing. In addition to this I have found in the cases where unusually high stress loads are placed on the body’s posture, such as whiplash or computer operation that performing these exercises, when symptoms are noticeable, helps to reduce the degree of these unpleasant symptoms. And these exercises also help to lower the state of stress placed the posture.

Your next step is to implement them into your daily routines.
