SELF-GUIDED PRACTICE
How to practice
- Choose a position that requires very little effort, usually lying down or sitting with full support.
- Adjust blankets, pillows, temperature, and light before you begin so the body can settle.
- Feel the back of the body, the head, the hands, and the legs being supported.
- Let the breath become natural and unmanaged; there is no count and no performance goal.
- Soften the eyes, jaw, throat, belly, palms, and feet one area at a time.
- When thoughts arise, let them pass in the background and return to the feeling of weight and support.
- If you fall asleep, treat that as rest; if you want to stay awake, open the eyes slightly or deepen one breath.
- End slowly by moving the fingers and toes before sitting or standing.
Stay comfortable. You can stop at any time or return to your natural breath.
