Relaxation and Bari Khatu Pranam
The practice is to realize oneself as the bliss of Ānanda. Begin by lying down and relaxing the entire body completely. Systematically feel and release each part, from the toes to the head. This state of deep relaxation and awareness is Ānanda Āsana. In this posture, one feels peaceful, joyful, and free from pain. Recognize that every cell of the body is in a state of bliss. This Ānanda is not temporary joy but your true nature as part of the divine. Carry this awareness into all activities—walking, sitting, or being with others. You are that blissful essence, like a star of light within. Conclude by slowly stretching and sitting up, maintaining the feeling of Ānanda.
"Feel your whole body from the toes to the top of the head, and from the top of the head to the toes."
"Each and every cell in your body is in ānanda."
