THIS IS THE OLDEST MORE THAN THOUSAND AND THOUSAND OF YRS OLD TECHNIQUE STILL PRACTISED BY GR8 YOGIS OF INDIA ! IT'S ALL SIMPLE ANY ONE CAN DO IT ! SHAV ASAN or DEAD BODY POSTURE!!!
CAUTION ! Do not sleep while performing Shavasan in order to obtain the maximum benefits. Lie down flat on the back. Keep convenient distance between the feet. Rest the hands a little away from the body, palms facing the sky. Keep the neck straight. The whole body should also be straight, but relaxed. Keep the eyes gently closed. Relax the body from top to toe - bones, flesh, nerves, arteries, organs. Imagine that the entire body is relaxed. This way each and every organ of the body will get relaxed. U CAN ALSO PLAY AN AUDIO OF UR FAV. SONG, BEFORE STARTING THIS MEDITATION IT WILL STOP ALL INCOMING THOUGHTS !
1. Close ur eyes.
2. Observe ur natural breathing.
Concentrare between ur eyebrows. Remove all incoming thoughts , do it for 15minutes then increase up to One hour. You will find ur self gloing in deep silence, time will come when u will experience going out of ur body. With the eye of the mind, go on visualizing every relaxed organ of the body one by one, from the toe to the top (crown of the head). Reverse the gaze of the mind's eye from the crown to the toe, make a full inspection of the body step by step. Involve the mind whole-heartedly in this process. Muscles are completely relaxed by Shavasan. Energy from the non-fatigued organs is redistributed to the fatigued ones. All the organs of the body, both external and internal are relieved of stresses and strains.It reduces high blood pressure to normal level and regulates respiratory system.Heart disease, insomnia, nervous debility, mental imbalance, lack of memory, fear-psychosis, and many other psychological ailments are alleviated by this asan. Practice of asan after a meal rectifies the digestive system.
RE. 'OM' MANTRA CHANTING !
IF U SAY SHORT 'OOO' AND LONG 'MMMMMMMMMMM' THE OM MANTRA (OR HHHmmmmmmmmmm LIKE A BEE) AND THEN STOP AND JUST SEE (WATCH UR SELF) U DONT REQUIRE MUCH OF INHALING AND EXHALING NOW AND LESS OF OXYGEN. U WILL NOTICE SLOWLY SLOWLY UR BODY GOING IN SILENCE ,CALMNESS.The speed of respiration should be so slow and subtle that you yourself also may not be aware of its sound, even if a piece of cotton is placed in front of the nostril it should not move by the effect of the air exhaled out. This way the Sadhaka can attain the joyful stage of Samadhi (Superconsciousness )by going through the various visualizations of god and supreme powers. In samadhi (Superconsciousness )our personal identities completely disappear. At the moment of samadhi none of that exists anymore. We become one with the Divine Entity. Bring both the palms of ur hands facing each other keep a distance of 3cms now say (ooooMMMMMMMMM) till u breath out and feel the vibrations.

BENEFITS OF DEEP BREATHINGS !
The Benefits of deep breathing. Deep breathing produces the following benefits:
1. Improvement in the quality of the blood due to its increased oxygenation in the lungs. This aids in the elimination of toxins from the system. 2. Increase in the digestion and assimilation of food. The digestive organs such as the stomach receive more oxygen, and hence operates more efficiently. The digestion is further enhanced by the fact that the food is oxygenated more. 3. Improvement in the health of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, nerve centers and nerves. This is due again to the increased oxygenation and hence nourishment of the nervous system. This improves the health of the whole body, since the nervous system communicates to all parts of the body. 4. Rejuvenation of the glands, especially the pituitary and pineal glands. The brain has a special affinity for oxygen, requiring three times more oxygen than does the rest of the body. This has far-reaching effects on our well being. 5. Rejuvenation of the skin. The skin becomes smoother and a reduction of facial wrinkles occurs. 6. The movements of the diaphragm during the deep breathing exercise massage the abdominal organs - the stomach, small intestine, liver and pancreas. The upper movement of the diaphragm also massages the heart. This stimulates the blood circulation in these organs. 7. The lungs become healthy and powerful, a good insurance against respiratory problems. 8. Deep, slow, yoga breathing reduces the work load for the heart. The result is a more efficient, stronger heart that operates better and lasts longer. It also mean reduced blood pressure and less heart disease. The yoga breathing exercises reduce the work load on the heart in two ways. Firstly, deep breathing leads to more efficient lungs, which means more oxygen is brought into contact with blood sent to the lungs by the heart. So, the heart doesn't have to work as hard to deliver oxygen to the tissues. Secondly, deep breathing leads to a greater pressure differential in the lungs, which leads to an increase in the circulation, thus resting the heart a little. 9. Deep, slow breathing assists in weight control. If you are overweight, the extra oxygen burns up the excess fat more efficiently. If you are underweight, the extra oxygen feeds the starving tissues and glands. In other words, yoga tends to produce the ideal weight for you. 10. Relaxation of the mind and body. Slow, deep, rhythmic breathing causes a reflex stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system, which results in a reduction in the heart rate and relaxation of the muscles. These two factors cause a reflex relaxation of the mind, since the mind and body are very interdependent. In addition, oxygenation of the brain tends to normalize brain function, reducing excessive anxiety levels.
The breathing exercises cause an increase in the elasticity of the lungs and rib cage. This creates an increased breathing capacity all day, not just during the actual exercise period. This means all the above benefits also occur all day.
You may go to an explanation of how deep breathing can be accomplished or learn about the anatomy of breathing to get a better understanding of our breathing process.
WHAT HAPPEN WHEN WE ARE IN GENUINE SLEEP OUR BODY IS REPAIRED. BUT IN MEDITATION WE ARE AWAKENED THE MORE OXYGEN IS GOING AND BEING ABSORBED IN OUR BLOOD.
