Shavasana (Final Relaxation) Flashcards
Shavasana (Final Relaxation) Mnemonics
We will now perform the final relaxation. Eyes closed, attention focused to perceive: your body, soft, heavy… achieve a global relaxation of all the groups of muscles… note a condition of abandoning of the physical structure on the ground… we are coming now to the stage of the gradual relaxation process, in which we concentrate to perceive very find vibrations, slight warming, and the loss of the feeling of body outline at the level of the relaxed areas.
First, project your mind to the tip of the left leg. From down upwards begin the gradual relaxation process… note now the overall relaxation of the left leg. Try to perceive the difference between the left leg relaxed and the right leg not yet relaxed…
Project your mind to the tip of the right leg. Continue the gradual relaxation process from down upward… note now the overall relaxation of the right leg.
Project your mind to the tip of the left arm. Continue the gradual relaxation process from down upward… note now the overall relaxation of the left arm… project your mind to the tip of the right arm. Continue the gradual relaxation process from down upward… note now the overall relaxation of the right arm… recall the global relaxation of all four limbs…
Project your mind to the pelvic area. Relax the muscles of the buttocks from down upwards… relax the pelvic muscles, the sex muscles for men, the deep vaginal muscles for women… relax the abdominal muscles from down upward… relax the muscles of the back from down upward…. Relax the muscles of the chest and shoulders… relax the muscles of the neck, throat, and nape of the neck… achieve a global relaxation of the muscles of the face… and now, come to the details – relax the muscles of the chin, lips, and tongue… relax the muscles of the jaw and cheeks… relax the muscles of the eyelids and eyeballs… relax the muscles of the eyebrows, forehead, temples, and scalp.
Note now the overall relaxation of the physical body, a condition of mental freedom, floating… note the overall loss of the feeling of body outline… expansion of the consciousness in the vastness, the infinite… fusion, attuning between the microcosm of your being and the macrocosm of the universe. Perceive harmony… conclude now with a grateful thought toward the universe.
Note the harmonious distribution of the received energies… a feeling of deep internal calmness, inner balance, self-confidence, inner harmony… come back now more to your physical body. Note a condition of increased inner energy, strength, vitality, willpower… please come back to your physical body. Slightly move your fingers and toes… that will do. This concludes the final relaxation and today’s Yoga class. Thank you for your presence and participation.
