CENTERING THROUGH LIMB TIGHTENING

ABOUT THE MEDITATION

When you tighten and loosen your muscles one by one, the sudden release of tension results in deep relaxation and centering of energies.

This technique has to be practiced in a standing position.

DURATION: 20 minutes

Step 1:

Close your eyes and start tightening and relaxing your limbs one by one. Breathe in when you are tightening the limb, breathe out as you relax. Start at the feet and move up. Clench your feet for about a minute, then relax them. Clench and relax your calf muscle, your knees, your thighs. Remember to relax each part before tightening the next. At any point of time, there should be tension only in one part of your body.

Continue upwards, pulling your stomach in, chest, shoulders and hands. Continue one by one, tightening and relaxing.

Spread your fingers, then clench them into a tight fist and relax them after a minute.

Tighten your neck, jaw and facial muscles. After a minute, gently relax your whole body.

This process frees all the muscles in your body.

Step 2:

Continuing in a standing position, imagine that you are inhaling and exhaling with every part of your body. Clearly visualize yourself breathing through your feet, legs, stomach, hands, face, and arms. Visualize your whole body breathing, not only your nose. Visualize life energy flooding your body.

This will put you in a deep silence.
