The keystone should be positioned before the cradle. Place the
keystone under your pelvis, centrally, against your sacrum.
The top flat edge of the keystone is marked with the word ‘TOP’,
which runs in line with the top of the sacrum.
The point of the triangle should sit about an inch above the
tailbone/coccyx. In non-medical terms, at the beginning of the
crease of your bottom.
It is important that it is placed central to the sacrum, but move it
around slightly to find a position that is comfortable for you. You
should be able to relax into it within a minute or so. To further relax
the pelvis, allow the knees to very slightly roll out to the side.

Hold the neck cradle with the word GRAVITY facing you, then place it behind your neck
and head. The side nearest the top of your head has four nodules on the reverse of the
unit. The side nearest your neck has five.
Move it around until it feels comfortable for you - small adjustments to both pieces are key.
A lot of tension in the shoulders may push the cradle towards the head, giving a sense
of pressure against the head and neck and unacknowledged tension in your back can
sometimes cause discomfort. Prior to using GRAVITY, gentle shoulder shrugs could help to
loosen you up and relax.
If you are very tense, you may find the neck cradle feels too firm during the first few
sessions. You could place the velvet GRAVITY bag, or a towel, over the cradle to cushion it
at first.
Once you have found a comfortable position,
close your eyes and let go of any tension.
Let your shoulders relax with your arms by
your side.
As the tension disperses, your weight
distribution will change, and you may wish to
reposition the cradle and keystone so that
your neck and back can assume their natural
position.
