Start by staying in bed.
This exercise is to stretch your spinal column and to tone your sympathetic nerve.
The bed should be firm,
But not soft.
We shouldn't jump out of bed.
It shocks the nervous system.
Instead,
Imagine an animal gently waking,
Yawning and stretching.
Let's start with three full stretching yawns.
Feel the oxygen in the brain,
Gently opening and closing the eyes.
Move your attention to your arms.
Stretch them in front of your body,
Moving them up over your head.
Back down to the side of your body.
Now move your attention to your legs.
Gently push forward with a small stretch and return to relaxed position.
Bring your feet together and lengthen your right leg.
Keep your leg on the mattress pushing your toe forward.
You will feel a pull in your hip and down into your leg.
Now hold this position,
Keeping your leg from lifting off the mattress for around 30 to 60 seconds.
No more than 60 seconds.
Now relax.
Bring your feet together and lengthen your left leg.
Keep it on the mattress,
Pushing your toe forward,
Feeling the pull in your hip,
Down your leg.
Hold this position.
Keep your leg from lifting off the mattress around 30 to 60 seconds again.
No more than 60 seconds.
Now relax.
Try this exercise for a week.
Feel the benefits.
Now gradually roll to your side and out of bed.
Namaste.
