And maybe the most important, and most neglected of the asanas? Savasana - corpse pose.
It is, for me, the posture that requires the utmost engagement, but with the least physicality and effort, but with the most subtly applied alertness, it is the one that fully integrates the entire practice.
And I've tried avoiding it, by simply lying on the floor for 30 seconds, impatiently, and after a week or so of this, my body seems tighter than had I not done any yoga at all, as, the effects have not been assimilated into my entire body/mind complex.
It is a highly meditative posture, allowing the subtle to fully integrate with the gross.
This is our chance, our opportunity to draw awareness fully within the body, and experience that which is revealed. It may be that a residual tension is felt, say in the hips, and this chance to fully enter that part of the body, is an aspect of the healing capacity of the prana we have flooded our body with over the past hour or so.
We are highly charged, and armed with this power, every opportunity to fully enter into the points of pain or discomfort are awakened, and with the combination of mind, increased prana, and body awareness, we can get right into the inner densities, and allow the healing to radiate and magnify into the subtle physical elements.
A chance to get right in there....
