Guest guest Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Deep Self Relaxation Sitting comfortably, with eyes open or closed, list (to yourself) three things which you can see, then three things which you can hear, then three things which you can feel. For example, " I see the color of the wall, I see the person opposite me, I see the color of her hair, I hear the sounds outside the room, I hear people moving about, I hear my own breathing, I feel the cushion underneath me, I feel the air on my skin, I feel my hands on my lap. " Then narrow it down to a list of two things in each sensory mode, then one thing in each mode. Tell yourself, " As I count from ten down to one, I can go into a deep, comfortable state of relaxation. " Then count breaths backwards from ten to one and enjoy the relaxation that you are drifting into. This works most powerfully when the verbal listing within your head is timed in a rhythm with your breathing. “Fortunately art is a community effort - a small but select community living in a spiritualized world endeavoring to interpret the wars and the solitudes of the flesh.” -Allen Ginsberg Everything Natural http://health./ Everything Magick EverythingMagick/ The Pagan Housewife http://paganhousewife.blogspot.com/ Tales of a DIY Queen http://talesofadiyqueen.blogspot.com The Frugal New Yorker http://thefrugalnewyorker.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
