I would like to offer a demonstration here, which you can also practice at home. It is very simple. Any yoga teachers present, if you would like to come and assist with the demonstration, please do. They are yoga teachers, living their life through yoga. They are tired. Please lie down on your back, with your head centered. Would anyone else like to come and join? If you are tired, you are welcome. What is the benefit of yoga in one's life? It is very comfortable, pleasant, and beautiful. This posture is called Ānanda Āsana. Ānanda means bliss. This posture is so beautiful and good. Every one of us likes it. It does not matter if we are old or young, healthy or ill. Finally, you say, "Thanks to God." Why do you do this? Your body is now recharging its energy—the life force, vitality, the prāṇa, the cosmic energy. As soon as you give rest to your organs, muscles, nerves, and joints, the cosmic energy begins to flow. The result is that it pushes all tiredness and negative energy out. And finally, we have to adopt this posture at the end of our life. If you do not do it, they will put you in this position. When you come home from work, instead of drinking coffee or something similar, you relax. You can also do this now. Lean on your chair like this and place your hands as you like. If you like to close your eyes, do so. If you do not like to, do not. It is your choice. If you close your eyes, you will be able to relax more. If you do not close your eyes, you will be able to see more here in this hall. So it is your choice. But there is nothing new that will come. So it is better to close your eyes and mentally follow my instructions. Take three deep breaths: inhale deeply and exhale slowly. Inhale. Exhale. Now relax the breath. Relax from the top of the head to the toes. No tensions at all. Relax your legs, your arms, your hands and fingers. Relax your neck, shoulders, and stomach muscles. Relax your face muscles, your lips, your eyeballs, eyelids, and eyebrow centers. No tensions at all, either physically or mentally. Say to yourself: "Relax, my friend, just relax. Let me be one with myself." Relax. At the time of inhalation, your body is recharging with cosmic energy—the life force, life energy. As you inhale, this energy enters your body, and your body slightly expands, especially the trunk. When you exhale, all kinds of toxins are exhaled from the body, and tiredness is recovered. Relax. Be aware of your being here. Feel your body. Feel your breath. Come to your thoughts. Ask your heart: "Do you wish all the creatures and the humans on this globe a happy life, like you are now happy and relaxed? I wish everyone good health, freedom, and happiness." Relax. You know that you are inhaling. You know that you are exhaling. You are the center of the universe. Let your radiance, your energy, your light, forsake the whole world. I am free. I am relaxed. I am comfortable. I am not scared. I thank God for this happy and beautiful life. And I wish this to all, the whole body. Consciously relax your whole body. Relax. Feel your body. Feel each and every limb. Feel your breath. Relax. Now, slowly begin to breathe deeply in and out. At the time of inhalation, feel the expansion of the body. At the time of exhalation, feel the contraction of the body, and become extroverted. Become extroverted. Once again, take a deep inhale and exhale, and move your fingers. First, open your palm, then close your fist and rotate your wrists. Stretch your hands. Stretch your shoulders up and down. Bring your palms together and rub them. Place your palms on your face. Under your palms, open your eyes and your hands, then move your hands and stop. This kind of relaxation will give you immense energy. It will calm down your emotions—negative emotions, aggressivity, anger, hate—all that you collect during the day. It will help you in just a few minutes.
