Description

Palms together on the forehead, elbows close together and shoulders relaxed. As you inhale, gently open your elbows to the sides; as you exhale, bring them back together. After a few cycles, gradually slide your hands higher up on the skull and then, if it is comfortable, towards the back of the head, continuing the same breathing rhythm. The movement remains slow, fluid, and painless. Calmly repeat several times.
