Here
is a highly effective relaxation technique.
- Have a set time each day that
you relax that is free of distractions.
- Have a set place where you
do your relaxation, a place where you can sit or lie in
comfort and is private.
- You could have some nice soft
relaxation music playing in the background and have some
nice essential oils like lavender, ylang ylang or Bergamont
scent in the area.
- Do this preliminary exercise
beforehand, while sitting or laying, slowely tense and relax
your muscles, starting with your toes, feet and leg muscles.
Gradually work through the different muscle groups to your
face and the top of your head. All the time focusing on
the difference in sensation between tension and relaxation.
This exercise will release a lot of tension.
- Then breathe deep and slow
using your diaphram to fill your lungs to capacity and to
squeeze out as much air as you feel comfortable with. Continue
doing this for at least fifteen to 20 minutes. When you
are doing this exercise imagine that you are lying on a
lovely surf beach, it is a beautiful day and you are listening
to the surf. The sound of the surf sounds like the sound
your deep breathing makes, as you breate in and out through
your nose and lungs.
