A darkened room, soft music, and reclining bound angle is a combination guaranteed to bring peace of mind and rest my soul. I often remain in the posture for long periods of time, REALLY feeling it, connecting with it, and observing the reaction of my body. It brings soothing relief to sore legs and an aching lower back. While engaged in the pose, I concentrate on mindful breathing, moving my head to each side and then the other on exhale. My movements are careful and deliberate; it is only on the mat or captured in the bliss of meditation do I forget about the daily pain in my physical form, and transcend to a place where the tangible is left behind, and only love is left. Only love is real.
