Total Relaxation

Rest feels like a gift, a delight. The relaxed muscles, somewhat deeper breathing and a global sense of well-being reflect a more relaxed body-mind.

But you can reach that psycho-corporal state by being in action, for example when you are working or fulfilling family responsibilities. Rest in action is a practice in itself.

At first, this state is more accessible when at rest and in absolute silence, accompanying the breath with mindfulness. Hence the importance of reserving moments for rest.

But, over time, you can practice with short activities such as brushing teeth. This will allow later to train in relaxing the musculature, maintaining a touch of consciousness in the breathing, while interacting with other people.

PREPARE TO FEEL TOTALLY CALM

SIT DOWN Sit on the ischia with the spine erect and, slowly, support it in the bólster. Open the knees, with the feet touching. If you need it, rest your knees on cushions.

BREATHE RELAX With your chest and neck open and your belly relaxed, breathe generously. Observe how the enjoyment of rest emerges.
