Yoga Corpse Pose For Relaxation
But this is a book about Hatha Yoga so you will want to know the
Yoga way to relax. Lie down on the floor and let go. That is all.
And that is Yoga? It is indeed. It is called SAVASANA or the
CORPSE POSTURE. Not a very pleasant name I agree but all the same
it is one of Yoga's most valuable and powerful weapons against
ill health and stress.
Try it. Lie down on the floor, no pillows, just a rug or the
carpet. Leave off your shoes and wear as little clothing as
possible. Whatever you wear must be light and loose fitting. Now
stretch your arms above your head and stretch out your legs and
feet. Go on, have a good stretch like your cat does before it
settles down to sleep. Close your eyes and let your head roll to
one side. Let your hands flop where they will and imagine that
your body has no bones and that you are giving your whole weight
to the floor. Imagine you are on a cloud and that your body is
slowly sinking through it. Keep your eyes closed and think of
something peaceful, a lovely piece of music perhaps or the sound
of the sea. Put on a soothing record if you like or open the
window and listen to the birds. Tell yourself that you are drowsy
and comfortable over and over again.
Now then, what about those knots of tense muscles around your
mouth, your eyes, your stomach and your legs? Go over al! areas
of your body and locate any knots of tension there might be. Be
stern with them. Make them loosen up. Very likely they will
tighten up again as soon as your back is turned so to speak but
keep your mind's eye open and consciously and repeatedly relax
any clenched muscles.
The worst offenders by far are the muscles of the face. You are
clenching your teeth and your jaws right now are you not? You
would be surprised at the number of people who do that, even in
their sleep. The counter measure is yawning. Do it as often as
you can but do please choose appropriate times as yawning is not
socially acceptable in many circles and your commendable efforts
to teach your facial muscles to relax might be misinterpreted!
Open your mouth as wide as you can, stretch your jaws, tense your
facial muscles and then suddenly relax them. Keep practising that
movement and you will soon rid yourself of teeth clenching. That
in itself is a good start.
So you are lying on the floor in the Corpse Posture and you are
finding that it isn't as easy as it looks to relax. It is easy to
lie down on the floor but you think I am unreasonable to ask
you to relax every muscle, do you not ? But it can be done. I can
do it and so can many other people. It takes constant practice
but how worthwhile is time spent towards this end for Savasana is
one of the greatest vitalizers known to man. Perform it whenever
you are tired, angry, upset, or brain-fagged. Perform it whenever
things get on top of you. It is not time wasted. It is Yoga's
'masterly inactivity' working for you.
