In Practice?
–VRKSASANA–
Vriksa /Vriksha/ means Tree and Asana means Posture
-Tree Posture-
How to find a tree within? How to become a tree?
- We stand firmly on the ground, stick the edges of the feet to the ground, spread toes wide apart – now we are grounded, we feel as we grow our roots deep into the Earth,
- We focus our eyes on a fixed point on the line of sight, we don’t look down or sideways, it causes a loss of balance,
- With a breath, we raise one foot and place it on the calf (beginner), inner thigh, or put it on thigh (likewise I did) – remembering never to rest the foot on the knee, we respect the knees,
- The spine is straight and strong; we stretch up top of the head to The Heaven; tailbone pulled in,
- With another breath we join our hands in front of the Heart, in the Namaste – prayer position, we breathe,
- If we feel comfortable and we do not shake, we can let the branches of our tree go higher – for this purpose, with exhalation, we slowly lower our hands along the trunk, and then, with a breath, we slowly making a circle with our hands, drawing the crown of our tree, joining them again in the Namaste position , this time above the head, arms close to the ears, shoulders relaxed – not squeezed, not raised – free, breathable, we can separate our hands above the head as well,
- We are breathing, we are not holding our breath,
- Tree Position develops Physical and Emotional Balance, promotes strengthening of Concentration and Self Confidence, stretches the whole body – do not forget to repeat the steps for the other leg,
- It is best to do it in the morning, on an empty stomach, like all Yoga positions, each time increasing the number of breaths in the final position
