Lie on your back. Close your eyes. Inhale deeply. With every out-breath, you become more and more relaxed. A young wizard sits next to you and gives you a small sack filled with Magic Compassion Dust. Compassion is the concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others. Whenever you sprinkle a bit of the magic compassion dust over yourself you become more compassionate and aware of the misfortunes of others. Imagine a classmate of yours is sitting alone at lunch. He or she doesn't have any friends and must be feeling alone and afraid. Let's sprinkle a bit of magic compassion dust over our heads. Now that we are more aware of the misfortunes of others, we ask them to sit with our group. Well done! You've just shown concern for the misfortune of another person. Showing concern is one of the greatest gifts you can give another person. And it's one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself because it always feels good to help someone in need.
Awareness of suffering of others.

Can yoga relaxations help me to become more mindful?
Yes. You’ll become more mindful and aware of the present moment. After a few weeks of relaxation practice, problems won’t feel so mountainous. You’ll be more able to keep your calm and deal with the chaotic situation with calm energy.
Can yoga relaxations reduce stress?
Yes. Many studies have shown that yoga relaxation techniques help to reduce stress and anxiety.
Can yoga relaxations enhance my mood?
Yes.
Can yoga relaxations help combat insomnia?
Yes.
Can yoga relaxations train me to relax?
Most of us have been tense for so long that we have forgotten how to relax. Yoga relaxation techniques train you to have ‘calm’ as your default state of mind, even in chaotic situations.
Would an asana practice help me to feel relaxed?
Yes. Mind and body are related. When our body relaxes (e.g. after a yoga class) so does the mind and vice versa. Before the body can fully relax it often needs to move, that is where the asanas come in, and is why the relaxation comes at the end of a yoga class. If you are the parent of a two-year-old, you’ll know that he/she will naturally want to relax after they’ve had a good play, and burned away their nervous energy. The same concept applies to you after an asana session.
Why is Savasana, which looks so easy, so hard?
Most yoga teachers think that Savasana is the most important asana, and also the hardest one to master. It looks like the easiest asana, but don’t be fooled. It can take many months of yoga to fully allow your body and mind to relax. Have patience. Keep getting on your mat to practice Savasana, then one day seemingly out of nowhere your energy will be calm.
