When I first started doing this about ten years ago, I didn’t think that anything was happening. But, when I skipped a day after doing it for a few months I noticed the difference right away. I felt out of balance, off kilter, not quite right.

This is something that I do every day – first thing in the morning.

I have waited this long to tell you about it, because you weren’t ready.

Now you are ready.

Try this first thing in the morning right after a few minutes of the Morning Exercises before breakfast.

Sit in a chair without arms. Sit forward at the edge of the chair, don’t lean on the back of the chair.

Place your bare feet flat on the floor hip distance apart with the inner part of the feet parallel.

Have your knees point forward over your second toe.

Sit with the bowl of your pelvis flat neither tipping forward nor rolling back.

Hang your arms down at your side, and then place your hands on your thighs. Doing it that way keeps your shoulders relaxed.

Feel that there is a string attached to the top of your head right over your spine and someone is pulling the string straightening out your spine.

OK, now you are sitting up straight.

Close your eyes so that you can do the body scan.

Now feel how your feet are resting on the floor, start on one side, say the left, follow up the left side of the body to your left knee and inner thigh, and upper thigh. Continue to your left hip.

Continue in that way and feel each part of your body as you rest your attention there. If you lose track, don’t worry, just restart the body scan.

You will learn a lot without the radiation dosage of X rays.
