Heart Haven Meditations
Savasana Deep Relaxation with Gentle Ocean Waves
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Though Savasana (or shavasana), the “Corpse Pose,” is a relaxation practice often used at the end of a yoga session, it can be done anytime to cultivate rest, rejuvenation, and wellbeing. It invites you to release tension, surrender to gravity, and allow the body-mind to come into a state of ease. Imitating a corpse helps you to release your grip on the impulse to alter or fix the present moment in any way. By symbolically surrendering to death, you relinquish worry and relax into stillness. Savasana fosters inner peace that can stay with you long after the practice is over. I learned this version from my yoga teacher, Tony Rivers, who was a student of B.K.S. Iyengar. My sound engineer Eric Fischer gets credit for the deeply relaxing soundscape. I hope you enjoy.
