Hold each of the four parts of this posture (corresponding with the
held breaths) for two to five seconds each. Repeat two to five
times on each side.

Lie flat on the back in the 'dead man's pose' - shavasana.

1. Inhale and bend the right knee and pull it close to the
   torso with both hands while interlocking the fingers just below the
   knee. Keep the left leg flat on the floor.


2. Hold the inhaled breath for a few seconds then exhale
   slowly through the nostrils and lift the back, shoulders and head
   off the floor and touch the knee with the forehead.


3. Hold the exhaled breath for a few seconds then slowly
   inhale and return the back, shoulders and head to the floor.
   Remain holding the knee.


4. Hold the inhaled breath for a few seconds then exhale
   while bringing the right leg to the floor.


5. Lie flat on the back in the shavasana for a few seconds
   then repeat beginning with the left leg.

By trying to change ourselves, by working hard at
changing our true self we often self defeat our objective.
Observation can make us aware; an absence of effort can be the
true path. Sometimes we have to try hard, go through the effort
stage before we can understand that by simply letting go we can
reach a stillness within, where all things just flow.
