Sleeping Tiger
1. Lie comfortably on the floor.
2. Lift your arms straight into the air with your palms facing the ceiling. Bend your elbows slightly and flex your wrists back.
3. Lift your legs off the floor, creating 90-degree angles at the hips and knee joints. Keep your feet parallel and your legs parted at shoulder width. Flex your ankles back so that your toes are pulled slightly back toward your head.
4. Breathe comfortably with your lower abdomen. Hold this posture for one minute. Add time as you can.

Floor Meditation
1. Sit on the floor with your legs crossed. One foot may rest on the floor, but the other should sit on your thigh.
2. Keep your back straight. Place your hands on your knees. Hold your palms facing upward.
3. You may close your eyes or keep them open. Relax your shoulders. Keep you chin slightly lowered.
4. Open your mouth slightly and keep focusing on exhalation. Focus on the energy flow inside your body.
