The Most Challenging Asana

Savasana
Also known as Corpse Pose is one of the most important as well as difficult poses. How hard can it be to lie on the floor? Even though you do not need to develop strong ankles or upper body strength total relaxation can be a true challenge for many. The body needs relaxation time in order to assimilate the internal changes that have occurred through asana. Here we experience the power of stillness. While the body lets go the mind must stay alert. Deep conscious relaxation. This process is not just a physical rest. It has roots that extend into the astral and the causal body. Savasana harmonizes the prana at the end of practice. When the breath move freely the mind settles. As the mind relaxes the tongue releases and your palette becomes spacious. The roof of the mouth hollows and the the central core of the body opens. This is where we get to feel the circulation of prana throughout the system attuning us to cosmic energies. The human frame is merely a vessel while the soul is directly connected to the universe. Allow your spirit to soar beyond the limits of its container. Om Shanti
