Take a few paperback books and place them about one body-length away from you. Turn your back to the books. Let your body and neck relax, take deep breathes and keep your eyes open. Slowly, go down to one knee then to sitting on the ground with your arms behind you balancing. Lie down on the books so that they support you right below your head. Move the books as necessary. Make sure your neck is not tight but letting it drop a little before placing it on the books. Keep your arms on the floor.
Rest in this position for 10-20 minutes. Gravity will be lengthening your spine and realigning your torso. Keep your eyes open to stay from falling asleep.
After done, slowly roll onto your stomach then to your knees to get up. Try to avoid stiffening any part of your body when standing.
This balanced resting state can actually expand your spine and make you slightly taller immediately afterwards. It is suggested that a person do this twice a day.
