Aspley Class - Chi Ball Update

The Chi Ball class with its five distinct elements is great for the mind body and spirit.  It certainly helps me to overcome all the aches and pains from a big weekend of weeding. 

For me, each element builds into an authentic whole experience which is deeply refreshing. The head massage phase of the Release section is, for me, one of the highlights of the class.  It means the deep muscles at the base of the skull get a gentle stretch.  But there are people for whom this is not suitable.

Attention  - a Caution - the Release phase of the class

It came to my attention, while chatting after class, that a number of people experience unpleasant side effects from having the ball at the top of their neck.  I never realized this.  So I am grateful to those who spoke up.  The symptoms ranged from a wave of nausea, to a feeling of vertigo.

This is a warning to all class members.  If you have any of these symptoms during any phase of any class, do stop the exercise immediately, change position, or even walk around stretch your legs, have a drink of water, get some fresh air outside, if you like.

 I will definitely be discussing this with the regular class next week and again when we have a Chi ball class.
Please let me know whether the class is okay for you.  Once again, thanks to class members for the "heads up",
