Repose involves lying on your back on a flat, comfortable surface (floor, bed, carpet, mat, lawn, etc), with arms extended perpendicular to your torso, palms up, legs open, and jaw relaxed, as shown here:

Carl Jung would go to his lakefront property and stare out at Lake Zurich for several days before starting on a new writing project.

We recommend doing Repose for seven minutes three times a day at the following times: 9am, 3pm, and 9pm.

Although active minds may put up a fight temporarily, the beauty of Repose is that this resistance stops for most people in a matter of minutes. It is simply the nature of somatic feedback that the physical receptivity of Repose leads to mental receptivity eventually. We have observed that this shift tends to happen in 3-5 minutes for most people

The authors of this e-book maintain that the physical receptivity of Repose leads to a type of mental receptivity that can have a profound impact not just on health but on consciousness.

As soon as I was in the correct position I closed my eyes and relaxed. I immediately could feel waves of energy hitting me over and over again like a blanket being fanned over my body. My relaxation deepened as I mentally but loudly thought: WOW!"

When traveling long distances by car, think about keeping a blanket or mat handy. This allows you to take advantage of unexpected opportunities for Repose. On road trips, we have experienced Repose in parks, rest areas, lawns, beaches, and even on top of our vehicle. As long as you have room to spread out, you can take Repose virtually anywhere.

So, what does this all have to do with Repose? It seems that Repose works like a “pause” button, giving you a temporary break from the seemingly endless stream of thought coming through the active mode of consciousness. In this pause, the receptive mode emerges from the shadows so that you can immerse yourself fully in it.

This transcendent experience goes by many names: bliss, ecstasy, joy, rapture. Ironically, the decision to surrender to such experience is completely intentional. In other words, you have some control over your decision to give up control. Repose makes that decision particularly easy. You simply choose to take a few minutes out of your day to lie
