The Goddess Pose
[ Lie on your back with the soles of
your feet together.
[ Let your legs open up and fall on
the sides so that they create a
diamond shape between the legs.
[ Let your arms stay on the sides and
keep them completely limp.
[ Concentrate on your breathing and
lie in this position for 15 minutes.
[ If you feel pressure under your
neck or your legs start getting
cramps, then place pillows under
the neck and the knees
respectively.
You're tired, irritable,
over sensitive, prone
to low concentration
levels and your
efficiency has dropped
like heavy lead in
water. These are only
a fraction of the
effects that less
sleep will have on the
body and mind.
[ Sit on this mat facing the wall.
[ Lie down and bring your legs up
into the 90 degree angle by
bringing your buttocks as close to
the wall as possible.
[ If this seems too stressful then keep
the legs at an angle that is between
90-70 degree.
[ Place your hands on your sides,
with the palms facing the ceiling.
[ Concentrate on your breathing
when you are in this position and
simply feel the stretch in the back
of your legs.
[ Lie in this way for 10 minutes.
