Lie on left side on mat or rug. Support head and neck with pillows. Adjust left shoulder for comfort. Elevate right knee with pillows. Relax fingers completely.
Systematically relax all muscles and joints in body. Begin by releasing foot, calf, and thigh muscles. Soften ankle, knee, and hip joints. Allow legs to feel heavy and sink into mat and pillows.
Breathe into base of spine. Feel entire spine softening and relaxing. Let go of tension in neck and shoulder joints. Imagine tiredness flowing out of fingertips.
Relax jaw and soften facial muscles. Close eyes, separate lips slightly, and breathe normally. When tension is released, slowly push up to a sitting position.
This pose creates complete relaxation of body and mind.
