A great easy posture for relaxation is to start in sitting position, crossed legged on the floor. Chest is open, shoulders are as far away from the ears as possible and the back is straight. Stretch your arms out so that they rest on the knees. Palms should be open and face upwards. Personally I like to hold the thumb and forefinger together because I feel an increased opening in the heart. This is subjective but you may feel an increased opening as many people do. Breathing should be normal but focused on bringing the breath to the top of the chest. Personally I like to breath in and out through the nose but you can also choose to breath in through the nose and out through the mouth. After 5 or 10 minutes in this posture the benefits are mainly relaxation and detachment from daily bodily or mental stresses.
