I know this looks like I am doing nothing, and in a manner of speaking I am not. I am in a very supported corpse pose or shavasana after a restorative yoga class.
So often the mind is blabbing its incessant commands to the body and most often it is drowning out any signals from it and not listening to it.
In restorative yoga, you let the mind and its need to control so much drop away. You listen to the body, try to hear its whispers. You try to key into the body’s own innate healing energy.
The mind is not in charge here. The body is.
