Lie down for fifteen minutes. Sleep is not the goal.

Lying still and awake is its own kind of rest, and one most of us never allow. If you do drift off, that is fine too.
How to do it
- 1Lie on your back, on a bed, a couch or the floor. A cushion under the knees helps some backs.
- 2Let your arms rest by your sides, palms up.
- 3Close your eyes. Notice the weight of your body pressing down.
- 4Let each breath out be a little longer than the breath in.
- 5When thoughts arrive, let them pass. Go back to the weight.
- 6Wiggle your fingers and toes. Roll onto one side before you sit up.
An experience, not a claim. Offered as a way to take a break. Away makes no health claim for it.
