In Sanskrit 'Shanthi' means.
You can tranquilize yourself while practicing this position. At the same time you will not become unconscious. It is also called 'Corpse Position'.
P R O C E D U R E
Lie on your back on an ever floor covered with a Yoga Mat. Stretch out your legs and keep them close to each other. Also stretch out your hands towards legs and keep them close to your body.
Don't stiffen any of your body members. Keep your face upward, close your eyes; let your muscles relax slowly and systematically one by one.
Concentrate your mind imagining as if you are in a pleasant environment. You should try your level best enjoying the illusion as if real. Meantime you should feel that you are getting rid of your pain, mental agony, sufferings, diseases and lethargy. Now imagine that you are so happy, very active, hale and hearty.
Now send a message from your mind to each of your body members to relax your muscles. It is very vital that you should travel through your body with the help of your mind from your toes to your head.
Send a communication from your mind to your body members one by one as follows:
Example: Send a message to your legs like this. "OK, my legs, relax yourself slowly, you are becoming active : you are getting rid of your problem (if any) right now miraculously. Now you are getting power from the heavens."
Send message from your mind to all other body members one by one like this.
Then concentrate your mind between your eye brows. Now you should imagine that a candle is glowing in between your eye brows.
It is advisable to practice this as long as you can. You should make it sure that you are not sleeping while performing this position. There is no great difference between this Shanthi Asan and Meditation.
If you keep striving you will be able to perform Meditation perfectly in the future.
