Guest guest Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Good Morning! Helping Ideas Materialize with Crystals There are times when we may have plenty of ideas, but we can't seem to materialize them. Sometimes, the simple clarity found through a simple meditation can be just the thing to allow us more insight and a clearer path to follow. Progressive Relaxation is just that. A slow transition from a tense, immobile state to a calmer more supple mind and body. This is a way of releasing tension in the muscles. There are many variations of Progressive Relaxation. Here is one of them: Begin by laying on your back in a comfortable position. Take a series of deep slow breaths and then focus your awareness on different parts of the body in turn, becoming aware of any muscular tension and releasing it. One way to do this is to first tense a muscle deliberately and then relax it. You can start with the top of the body, tensing and relaxing the muscles of the upper face, then moving on to the jaw, neck, chest, front of the arms, abdomen, thighs, lower legs, feet, and toes. Then do the same down the back of the body. Finally, lie still with the eyes closed, concentrating on your breath. Allow the whole body to relax into the ground. Feel the floor underneath you, supporting you. Feel the earth supporting the floor. Feel yourself now deeply rooted and grounded into the earth beneath you. Enjoying this deep feeling of peace and freedom from muscular tension. Crystals to Consider: Citrine It helps you to manifest your ideas so that you can act on them.
