Relaxation Sleep
To try to sleep, let’s put into practice a relaxation technique called Savasana or the corpse posture. This position can be practiced after a yoga session or anytime we need it, for example before going to sleep. What first thing we do is release all buttons, zippers, belt or bra, we can press, we lie on the floor or directly on the bed and cover with a blanket so not cool. The correct position is on your back and as symmetrically as possible, the shoulders at the same height, head centered, straight legs and with a clearance of 50 cm. Arms slightly away from the body, palms facing up, close our eyes and we began: in this position lift your right leg to put all your muscles tense, endured a moment and let it fall to the ground completely dead, we repeat the same with the other leg, arms, hips and shoulders. Turn it round his head several times on both sides and let it focus.
In this position we started to think of our body, we begin with the toes, thinking about bone structure, muscles, skin, nails … and we’re sending commands to relax, continue through the soles of the feet and repeat the same operation, always very focused on trying to go the party. So we will travel throughout our bodies without forgetting the internal organs like the heart, stomach, kidneys, and finally to the forehead and scalp hair.
If we do well, we will notice as the rhythm of our breathing is becoming slower and little by little we fell into a peaceful sleep. It is also important in this process, our mind to rest in a pleasant and enjoyable, think about a beautiful sunset, a lake surrounded by trees, the last family holiday … in short, any memory that we find it pleasant, and so we sweet dreams. If you also learn to relax, take it as habit practice of yoga or any other sport, we thank our health and our insomnia will fade.
