When relaxing you are bringing your body to a “state of rest”.

It will require a reasonable amount of effort by you to take the necessary steps to relax correctly.

You will need at least 20 minutes everyday or 40 minutes 3 times a week.

How to Begin:

Lie down on your back with your feet shoulder width apart

Begin breathing slow and deep

This is quiet time for you, no music just listen to your breathing or your heartbeat

Throughout the exercise all breathing is to be done in and out of your nose

Step 1:

Take a slow deep breath in, exhale slowly and leave go all tension from your feet

Step 2:

Take another breath in, when exhaling leave go all tension from your legs

Step 3:

Take another breath in, when exhaling leave go all tension from your buttocks and hips

Step 4:

Continue breathing and leaving go of tension from the rest of your body:

Your lower back

Your stomach

Your chest and upper back

Your hands and arms

Your neck and head

Continue this exercise within the amount of time you have available.

Observe what takes place within your body as you let tension go in one part and the effect it has on the rest of your body.
