BEFORE YOU START
 
To do the exercise, please find a comfortable place to lie down. You can lie on a mat, rug, or blanket on the floor. If you lay on a bed, move the pillows out of the way, so you can rest flat on your back. 
 
To communicate clearly with your brain and nervous system:

  • Do each movement slowly
  • Use minimal muscular effort
  • Make each movement small
  • Make each movement easy and comfortable
  • Rest for a moment between each movement
  • Don’t do any movements that are uncomfortable
  • Don’t push, force, stretch or make an effort.
  • Turn your attention inward so you can sense and feel yourself.
  • When the lesson is over, notice everything that feels different. Your awareness is powerful!
