Cobra Position
(Bhujungasana)
Lay on your stomach, propped on your elbows with your hands under your chest, and begin relaxing your spine by stages, letting it sort of sag downward. When it is quite relaxed, pick the shoulders up some more, and repeat the relaxation process. Then place your hands under your shoulders and raise the upper part of the body upward, continuing to relax the spine by stages (stop halfway up, stop three-quarters up) until you are all the way up and you continue relaxing the spine forward, until it is completely relaxed and quite arched. Bend the head back, and turn the gaze inward, looking back and up diagonally. (If your head were a brick, standing on its end, you would be looking toward the back upper edge.) Hold this position for 30 seconds to a minute, gazing into the space beyond the head and, optionally, saying mentally: “May I please have a behavior review?”
Cobra Position is an essential part of the stretching routine. Additionally, in this position, the psychic visual space in the upper back brain area is a good place for relating to divinities.
