The Survey of Body is a
systematic relaxation practice, which is about 11 minutes in
length. It is a part of the preparation practice of Yoga Meditation
or Yoga Nidra (track 2 of the Yoga Nidra CD).
Note that the last few instructions of the Survey of Body practice are
designed to transition into the 61-Points track of the Yoga Nidra CD,
not to completely end the meditation.
Your attention will follow
approximately the following course through your body:
- Top of head; face;
neck and throat
- Shoulders, arms,
hands, fingertips
- Return up arms to
shoulders
- Chest; abdomen
- Hips, legs, feet,
toes
- Return up legs to
hips
- Abdomen; chest
- Shoulders down to
finger tips
- Back up to
shoulders
- Throat, neck, face,
ending at top of head
This relaxation can be
done as a stand-alone practice, as well as being preparation for Yoga
Meditation and Yoga Nidra.

-------
This site is
devoted to presenting the ancient Self-Realization path of
the Tradition of the Himalayan masters in simple,
understandable and beneficial ways, while not compromising
quality or depth. The goal of our sadhana or practices is
the highest Joy that comes from the Realization in direct
experience of the center of consciousness, the Self, the
Atman or Purusha, which is one and the same with the
Absolute Reality. This Self-Realization comes through Yoga
meditation of the Yoga Sutras, the contemplative insight of
Advaita Vedanta, and the intense devotion of Samaya Sri
Vidya Tantra, the three of which complement one another like
fingers on a hand. We employ the classical approaches of
Raja, Jnana, Karma, and Bhakti Yoga, as well as Hatha, Kriya,
Kundalini, Laya, Mantra, Nada, Siddha, and Tantra Yoga.
Meditation, contemplation, mantra and prayer finally
converge into a unified force directed towards the final
stage, piercing the pearl of wisdom called bindu, leading to
the Absolute.
