Instructions
Stand with your feet hip-width
apart, toes pointing forward. Let your abdomen soften so you
can breathe diaphragmatically. Tip or tuck your pelvis as
necessary to establish the normal curves of your
spine.
Distribute your weight evenly on
both feet, with equal weight on the ball and heel of each
foot. Lengthen up out of your feet/ through your legs. Keep
your knees soft, not locked.
Lengthen up through your spine, all the way
through the crown of your head. Relax your shoulders down away
from your ears, and relax your arms and hands completely.
Level your chin. Lengthen up slightly through your entire body
to induce a feeling of lightness, alertness and
readiness.
Breathe smoothly and naturally, and affirm
mentally, "I stand ready to obey Thy least
command."
