Therapeutic & Healthful Benefits:
Autism & Therapy:
Hangouts has supplied hammocks & hanging chairs to therapists and patients.
The swinging motion and spinning motion stimulates cerebral activity and thus
benefits autistic persons. The swinging & spinning can benefit any person since
it can increase one's ability to focus and concentrate through cerebral stimulation.
The swinging/spinning can benefit impatient readers. The devices sold to medical
practitioners normally cost 5 to 10 times the cost of our hammocks & hanging
chairs and therapists comment Hangouts chairs & hammocks are more comfortable,
less expensive and work as well as the devices supplied by medical suppliers.
Backpain and neckpain:
can be relieved by lying perpendicular to (across) the axis which runs between
the two ends of the Mayan hammock
. 
The diamond weave adjusts to the weight and shape of the body perfectly. The
support removes pressure points and thus allows the muscles of the body to relax.
Support without pressure points allows the blood to flow to all body parts and
thus maximizes the healing potential that our bodies have. Without pressure
points the verdabrae of the body can begin to align themselves. Even if one
only has a few minutes at a time, lying in the hammock can reduce the physical
stresses and the benefits are cumulative. Sleeping in the Mayan hammock also
can reduce backpain. Our instructions included with your hammock explain the
best ways to hang your hammock properly and the best way to lie in it. One can
stretch out, curl up or lie on their side and the hammock molds to their body
and shape. It curves around your body parts as if it were custom made for you.
Whether you weigh 400 lbs or 40 pounds you will find total support. No bed or
furniture can come close to the support you sense. Your body will achieve a
sense of weightlessness as if you are floating on water, and you might even
think you are lying upon a cloud or weightless as if you were in Outer Space.
You'll wake up more refreshed than you've ever been. These benefits can be realized
even if one only takes short naps as well as overnight sleeping. Pregnant women
have also found great success in relieving their prenatal pains by using these
hammocks for rest, relaxation and sleep. One comment was I couldn't sleep at
night because of my pain, until I tried my Mayan hammock. Use of the hammocks
& chairs are a form of AUTO-MASSAGE. AUTO-MASSAGE is the practice of achieving
a similar physical state of muscle relaxation which is equivalent to the result
of a massage session, by some other means, such as by using our hammocks & chairs.
Massage adjusts the muscles of the body so the tensions are equalized and so
does using the hammock properly. Although not intended to be a substitute for
massage the hammocks & chairs can be a great complement and supplement the benefits
of massage.
Yoga & Meditation: Would one really want
to do Yoga in a hammock? Lying in or sitting in a hammock or hanging chair can
be a form of AUTO-YOGA. AUTO-YOGA is the practice of achieving a similar physical
and mental state which is equivalent to the result of a Yoga session, by some
other means, such as by using our hammocks & chairs. Yoga adjusts the muscles
of the body so the tensions are equalized and so does using the hammock properly.
The hammock relieves pressure spots and relaxes the muscle system. A relaxed
body leads to a relaxed mind. A higher stage of Yoga is Meditation and the hammock
or chair provides a more comfortable seat than sitting on the floor or a cushion.
Additional comfort allows the mind to enter the spaces of harmony and peacefulness.
This can be achieved whether or not one is sitting crosslegged or lying down.
Although not intended to be a substitute for Yoga the hammocks & chairs can
be a great complement and supplement the benefits of Yoga.
