61 Points Relaxation With Tibetan Bowls

Yogic relaxation practice restores the body, nervous system, and mind. Practicing relaxation, we calm and center our awareness, remove fatigue and the effects of exertion, and relax our muscles and organs. Over time, we can move into deeper states of awareness to free us from our mental and psychological defenses, access the unconscious, and to allow the creative and deeper aspects of our being to awaken.

Lie down on your back and get comfortable.

This relaxation is called 61 points.

As we practice,

I'll be inviting you to feel or to visualize a point of light in each of the body parts that I'm referring to.

Nurturing quality,

Like starlight.

And check that you've placed yourself really comfortably and with a sense of plenty of space,

No part of the body constricted or crowded.

It's important that you place your body symmetrically.

Balanced breathing.
