Samasana

This asana is also treated as a sub type under Padhamasana. This is nothing new, since many sit on the ground in this way.

Procedure

1. Spread a blanket four folded.

2. Facing east or north direction sit over it.

3. Place the foot of the left leg near the beginning of the right thigh.

4. Place the right foot near the beginning of the left thigh below it.

5. Sit erect.

6.Place the hands as described under Padhmasana.

Fruit of Asana
Since the organs inside the body are not pressed they are kept in their natural position. Sometimes the backbone gives a hunch back when sitting for long duration in this asana. This is only a beginning for Padhmasana.

Since this Asana is simple one, no drawing is given.
