ABSTRACT
This is not a movement but astate of being. Wearing loose clothing, lie flat on your back on a comfortable surface (e.g., a rug, a mattress, even a grassy lawn), arms at your sides, legs slightly apart. Your eyes may be open or closed (I prefer keeping them open). There should be an awareness that your head, body, arms, and legs are all in contact with and supported by that surface. Imagine that the surface you are lying on is gently rising up, like a mythical flying carpet, and that gravity is pulling you flat against it. You, in short, are to become a dead weight, without any muscle tension in your head or limbs.
