a.Lie supine in an anatomical position i.e. legs kept apart with a comfortable distance and arms lying a little away from the body. Palms should be facing upward with fingers slightly flexed, as they are relaxed.

b.Relax the whole body, part by part. Start with the limbs, the head, neck, shoulders, thoracic cavity and then abdominal cavity. Try to feel every part, try to make it so relaxed that you feel that your entire weight is falling on the floor. Let the body fall on the floor completely. Do not resist.
