Stillness Practices

Left-Side Rest

Breath-Focused

A passive breathing posture designed to cool down body temperature, aid digestion, and encourage sleep.

Instructions

  1. Lie down: Find a couch or bed and lie down on your left side. 

  2. Support your head: Place a pillow under your head so your neck stays straight and relaxed. 

  3. Stack your knees: Bend your knees slightly and stack them comfortably on top of each other. 

  4. Close your eyes: Let your eyelids fall closed and drop your weight completely into the surface below you. 

  5. Breathe softly: Take slow, natural breaths in and out through your nose, letting your ribs expand sideways. 

  6. Rest for minutes: Stay in this position for 5 to 10 minutes without checking your phone or clock.
