This is a relaxation pose. Be barefoot. Lie flat on your back with a straight line running from your chin, to your sternum, to your pubic bone. Separate your heels hip-distance and let your toes fall out to the sides. Rest your arms at the sides of your body, palms facing upward, fingers soft. Allow your forehead to be slightly higher than your chin. Drop your bottom teeth away from your top teeth. Allow your lips to softly touch. With your eyes closed, roll your gaze downward.

Breathe evenly and comfortably through your nose. Be aware of your breath and allow the inhalations and exhalations to lengthen and become softer. The rise and fall of the chest is very slight.

Release your heels into the floor. Soften the arches and the balls of your feet. Allow your toes to be limp. Relax the tops of your feet and your ankles. Melt your calves into the floor.

Release your shoulders away from your ears and into the floor. Relax your upper arms, elbows, and forearms. Relax your wrists, palms and backs of your hands.

To come out of the pose, wiggle your fingers and toes. Rotate your wrists and ankles. Stretch your arms, legs, and back. Breathe more deeply and yawn. Draw your knees toward your chest and hug them with your arms. Roll to one side on the floor and stay there briefly, using your arm or hand as a pillow for your head. To sit up, use the strength of your arms to push yourself up, hanging your head into your chest. Let your head be the last thing that comes upward.
