Lie on your back with a bolster of blankets arranged under your upper body so that your shoulders are slightly elevated;
this “opens” your upper chest and your lungs to allow free breathing (this is called the Savasana position).
1. Spend a few minutes relaxing the body.
2. Release tension from the feet and hands, the abdomen and face.
3. Calm your thoughts as you focus your mind on each part of your upper body in turn.
4. Keep the eyes still and let the eyeballs relax down into the eye sockets.
5. Relax the temples and forehead. Relax the bridge of the nose.
6. Relax the cheeks by releasing them away from the eyes, then the jaws, moving the lower jaw a little way from the upper without tensing it.
7. Feel the connection between the ear passages and the jaws, and relax them.
8. Keep the tongue still, letting it rest on the lower palate; allow the root of the tongue to recede into the throat, keeping the teeth lightly parted. 9. Next, relax your neck and throat by pressing the shoulders down and moving the shoulder blades into the back ribs.
10. At the same time, bring the chin slightly down towards the throat.
11. Quiet the vibrations of your vocal cords. End your relaxation here.
12. Before getting up, turn on to your right side, with knees close to the chest and remain resting there for a moment or two.
