Technique

1. Kneel on the floor near the blanket. Widen the knees about one
   foot.


2. Invert the palms and place them on the blanket between the knees
   so that the fingers point to the feet. The forearms from the
   wrist to the elbow should be kept perpendicular to the floor and
   parallel to each other. The distance between the palms should not be
   wider than that between the shoulders.

3· Rest the crown of the head on the blanket just behind the wrists.

The forehead will face the inner side of the wrists. The head should

be placed in the centre of the two hands, so that the crown is equidistant

from the palms on the floor.
