NECK PULL EXERCISE
The neck pull is a seemingly very simple physical exercise. However, it helps a lot for people with brain fog, caused by an overload of copper toxicity. It helps open up channels of energy in the neck that are congested or damaged in most people.
WHY DO THE NECK PULL?
Our bodies contain thousands of tiny energy channels. They run vertically from the top of the head down to the toes. They are related to the acupuncture meridians. Health depends upon having enough of these channels open and clear so that subtle energy, flows through them and nourishes the body.
In most everyone, the most damaged area of these channels is the neck. The reason is that the channels have to converge somewhat to get through the neck, and injuries and accidents affecting the neck are common. Tension in the neck due to stress or bad posture is also common.
The neck pull helps open and clear the energy channels as they move through the neck.
To do it properly, the shoulders must drop, as you breathe in. This is not so easy, at first, but it becomes much easier with practice.
THE PRE-NECK PULL
The neck pull can seem difficult to some people, although it is safe and not really difficult. A way to begin learning the neck pull is to practice extending your neck.
Lie down without a pillow under your head or neck. Other options are to sit erect or stand up tall. Begin with your head facing forward.
Now extend your neck as much as you can, still looking straight ahead. You can pretend someone is pulling your head straight upward if standing up or sitting, or pulling your head back, away from the body, if you are lying down.
Extending your neck this way will lessen the normal curve of the neck. In other words, the neck will straighten somewhat and become longer.
The neck pull is done with the head looking straight ahead. However, for the pre-neck pull, with the neck extended, slowly and gently turn your head to one side. Then move it back to the center position. Then turn it to the other side. Do this slowly and deliberately.
Often you will hear some crackling or popping in the neck, and that is very good. You are breaking up some calcium deposits and/or adjusting the position of the vertebrae in the neck.
Doing this exercise will prepare you for the neck pull.
THE NECK PULL PROCEDURE
Body position.
Begin by breathing in, using toe breathing. This means that you imagine the breath entering your body through your toes.
As you breathe in, move your shoulders downward toward your feet. You can pretend that someone is holding your hands and pulls them straight downward toward your feet.
When your shoulders are as low down on your body as they will go, suddenly extend your neck upward. Pull your head upward from the crown of the head. This is a little behind the top of the head.
If you do this correctly, you will hear and feel a slight pop in the neck area. Rarely the pop can occur in your upper back rather than in your neck.
This sound and feeling is an opening of the vertebrae in the neck. It is somewhat like “popping” your toes or fingers, which is also helpful. It releases stuck energy in the neck area and helps open subtle energy channels.
Then gently breathe out.
This is all there is to it. Please repeat this procedure at least 10 times daily. In fact, if you do it gently and sensibly, I find that it cannot be easily overdone and many people can do it many times, for half an hour or longer.
CAUTIONS
Never force anything. This means no fast or jerky motions.
If, at first, your neck won’t pop, this is okay. Begin with the pre-neck pull described at the beginning of this article. As you do this more, emphasizing stretching the neck, it will be easier to do the neck pull.
Can I damage my neck? One might think that popping the neck could do some harm. However, popping the neck in this way seems to have no adverse effects.
Repeating the neck pull a number of times also is not harmful, and in fact helps speed up healing. As you become comfortable with it, you can do it many times each day.

THE NECK PULL PROCEDURE
Body position.
- This procedure is easiest to learn while lying down comfortably. Later, you can do it while sitting or even while standing up.
- Do not have a pillow under your head.
- Your head must be facing straight ahead, not turned to one side.
- Also, have your legs extended straight down away from the head, and fairly close together.
Begin by breathing in, using toe breathing. This means that you imagine the breath entering your body through your toes.
As you breathe in, move your shoulders downward toward your feet. You can pretend that someone is holding your hands and pulls them straight downward toward your feet.
