Evening practice from Strilky
This is an evening session for relaxation and gentle exercise. Begin by closing the eyes and feeling the body. Systematically bring awareness to each part, from the feet and legs to the hands, stomach, shoulders, and head. Inhale and exhale through both nostrils. The goal is for the entire body and inner parts to be very relaxed, without judgment of any sensations. If feeling cold, one may sit up. Proceed with simple exercises: sitting with hands on thighs, raising arms, and looking side to side. Perform movements with the legs, such as raising them while seated. Sit comfortably with knees apart, moving the arms up and down. After eating, it is beneficial to sit quietly. Straighten the legs and feel relaxed. Practice movements while seated straight, focusing on the buttocks. Alternate placing one leg over the other thigh. Conclude by lying down to relax for a few minutes before slowly sitting up.
"Relax. Don’t think that this is not good or that is good, or that and this, nothing. Be relaxed."
"It is said, after eating, five minutes. One should sit like this."
