Gulp. So lost. Have spent more than 10 hours on the website and it’s not even 20% done. Unexpectedly tough but interesting. I am slowly catching up and all these are what worth doing! Hope that GOPAKO website can be launched officially by April. Fingers crossed. 🙂

Logging off for “savasana”. Wishing everyone a great day ahead.
Namaste.

Savasana – means corpse. In this asana the object is to imitate a corpse. Once life has departed, the body remains still and no movements are possible. By remaining motionless for some time and keeping the minds still while you are fully conscious, you learn to relax. This conscious relaxation invigorates and refreshes both body and mind. But it is much harder to keep the mind than the body still. Therefore, this apparently easy posture is one of the most difficult to master.

Benefits:
• Relaxes the entire body
• Calms the brain and helps relieve stress
• Reduces headache, fatigue and insomnia
• Develops BodyMind awarenss

Steps:
• Lie flat on the back with arms resting comfortably along the sides of the body, palms upward. Legs are extended and slightly turned outward; this translates down to the ankles and feet.

• Find your place of complete physical comfort by making slight adjustments. Could your hips feel “more free” if you separated your ankles and feet a tiny bit more? What is going on along your spine? Is support of a blanket needed anywhere? Are your head and spine in a straight line? Be secure in your foundation before proceeding.

• Close your eyes. Gently guide them to the place between your eyebrows, the Ajna or Sun Center. Relax the entire brow. Relax the jaw and let your chin drop down. Become aware of your natural breath and its rhythm.

• Focus upon your Sun Center and call forth a feeling of tranquility. Let this sense of stillness and calm stream down into your whole body. Feel how Earth supports the weight of your body in its entirety. Let Go.

• Remain here for 2 to 15 minutes
