Yoga Pose - Deep Relaxation 2

Yoga Pose -- Deep Relaxation Continued

...Okay, so when you tighten, then loosen all your muscles, you'll feel how the muscles are connected to each other. Clench your fist, very hard, and then let go. Feel how muscles connected to the muscles you were using voluntarily, also let go.

Having familiarized yourself with your muscles in this, way, the next part of this yoga pose is where the actual relaxation comes into play.

Breath in, slowly, through your nose. Pause. Then let the air out, slowly, through your mouth.

You are ready to enter the state of deep relaxation.

Start with your head. Relax your forehead, your ears, your eyes, your tongue, your jaw.
Releax your shoulders. Your arms, your hands, your fingers.

Relax your torso, your behind, your legs, your feet, your toes.

Become acquainted with your muscles. Know what they feel like when they are tense, and when they are relaxed.

Start over again with your head, and feel residue tension being relieved -- all the way back down to your toes.

You may do it a third time, and feel how you are even more relaxed.

Only when your body is really relaxed in this yoga pose, you can start meditating.

I'll talk about that next time.

See you then!
