Perfect Peace in the Perfect Pose*

by Guest Blogger/Lou Paré-Lobinske

You wouldn’t think it would

be,

but it is.

Lying on the floor, or on a bed,

propped up in several ways.

Pillows or blankets work.

Your head higher than your chest,

your chest higher than your legs.

Your legs in Cobbler’s Pose –

knees bent, soles of the feet together,

with pillows under the knees

so there’s no stretch at the groin.

Lay back and relax.

Feel the tension melt away

from your entire being.

Float away on a cloud

as long as you like.

Feel the peace

permeate your body,

your soul and your mind.

Feel yourself hesitate to come out of the pose,

not wanting to lose

this luscious, serene feeling.

Sigh and realize

that the DVR has gone into sleep mode,

so maybe you better move on to the next pose.

You can always come back tomorrow.

* Please note: the name of the overall pose is actually the Supported Bound Angle Pose
