There was once a little prince
and just like you, he was beautiful. When he slept, his mummy would watch his
chest rising and falling. He slept with a soft smile on his lips, and softness
in his little body. He was such a
peaceful child in his sleep that his mummy, who had been working all day and
very busy, would feel peaceful too.
Kneeling
and arc the arms above the head, palms together and to the eyebrows and to the
heart.
When the little prince woke up,
he would kneel in his bed and stretch his arms in the air and bring his hands
together in a little prayer – once to his eyebrows because it is a very special
point on the body. His mummy said, he could touch God there. And then he would
bring his prayer into his heart, because that is where he could feel so much
love.
Hands
to the floor, slide them forward
Then like a cat, he brought his
two hands to the floor and scooped his head and heart through his arms until he
was in his favorite yoga pose called cobra. Cobra had always been a favorite
pose because he loved all animals – after all this little prince was Ganesha –
a chubby elephant prince.
Slide
through into cobra
He loved the stretchy feeling so much that he often stayed there in cobra for a long time and then, press his body back into child pose.
