[DAY 5] FINDING SLOW
Introduction
Wouldn't it be nice to have an ON/OFF switch? To be able to go from agitation to relaxation in the blink of an eye.
It would, wouldn't it? But, alas it doesn't work that way.
True relaxation is a conscious and intentional activity, that takes time and practice.
The slow process of relaxation starts with the gathering of your props. Take your time to set up for each pose. Smooth all the creases in your blankets before you lay down.
And when you're done, take your time coming out. Hold onto that feeling of being relaxed and alert at the same time for a couple more seconds.
If you missed the previous days, hold off on Day 5 until you had the chance to go through days 1-4.

Props
Here are the props you will need for your practice: wall, strap, 1-2 blankets, and eye pillow.
You might need more, or you might need less. The setup is highly personal.
