Lie on your back, legs extended, arms at your sides, palms facing up.

Bring awareness to your feet - let them become heavy .... Release them to the floor. Let your calves relax. Bring attention to your kneecaps. Let them become heavy and melt downward. Can you feel any sensations circling thru your knees?

Let's prepare for Savasana. Close your eyes. Stretch your legs out in front of you, let your feet fall out to the side. Arms are at your sides about 5-6 inches away from your body palms facing up.

Let's prepare for Savasana. Let your body become comfortable. Close your eyes, legs are about hips width apart, let your feet fall outwards, arms are at your sides - palms facing up. Shoulders are away from your ears, neck is long. Rock your head from side to side and find that perfect place for your head to rest. Let your body be what it is - earth and water. Be aware of the subtle force that holds your physical body to this earth. Surrender to the gentle tug of gravity -

Surrender your body to the earth.....the home of the first chakra, muladhara, feel a flow of warm pulsating energy, feel it emanating as a red light and feel it connecting you with its element – Mother Earth. Surrender to her protecting, nourishing, healing energies.

Let’s begin by closing our eyes and taking a few deep cleansing breaths. Bringing your attention to your breath as you let go of all thoughts, worries, or concerns. Inhaling thru your nose … exhaling thru your mouth.
