BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention[0001]The present patent document relates generally to pillows and more particularly to a pillow designed to enhance the practice of pratyahara (drawing the senses inward) during savasana (a reclining yoga relaxation / meditation).2.

Therefore, there is a perceived need for a device to aid the user in achieving full relaxation.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]The relaxation and meditation pillow is d...
