Relaxation Exercises
One of the best forms of relaxation using the mind is imagination. With using imagination relaxation
exercises you will not only become more relaxed but also have clearer thoughts.
Before starting the relaxation exercises, find a place where you won't be disturbed for 20 minutes or so. Sit in a nice comfortable
chair or lay down in a comfortable place and close your eyes.
At the start of the relaxation exercise, begin by taking several deep, calm and relaxing breaths. Breathing in through your mouth and out through
your nose. Try not to expand your chest but instead allow your belly to gently rise and fall. After doing
this for a few times and you feel you are more relax than you were when you first started, begin the
relaxation exercises.
Start with your visualisation. Imagine yourself outside in the fresh air, on a deserted beach, in a quiet
woods or alone away from any busy places. Enjoying the solitude you now have.
Whilst doing the relaxation exercises look around you. Is there anything you can imagine that aught to be there like grass or flowers. Are there
any other things there.
Now imagine you pick something up. Notice the weight of it. Gently caress it noticing if it is soft or
hard, wet or dry etc. Notice how it feels between your fingers.
If it is a flower, bring the flower to your nose and imagine the smell of the sweet fragrance.
Wave the flower at the side of your ear. Hear the sound it makes as the flower moves through the air.
