The head will naturally attain the correct position, and the spine will decompress, causing the head and back to be stretched. This allows the nerves in the spinal column to act at their peak. It also enhances the yang (positive), and aids in settling the thoughts. When retracting the neck, the chin must be retracted. If the chin is retracted, the head will naturally acquire the correct position, and will not be askew. The head and body will have proper alignment. There will be communications in both the sympathetic and central nervous systems. This is why it is said that the "neck is the second brain. "! 4e Eyes and Face Relaxed.

If the thoughts are on something behind the body, there will be a higher level of activity in the blood and energy in the back of the body. If the eyes look up, there is a rise in spirit. If the eyes look inward, the spirit retracts. Look to the left, the left side of the body is in ascention, look to the right, the right side is in | ascention.
