Relaxation techniques reduce negative emotions that build in the body and mind.
Negative emotions build up in the mind in obsessive ways, and build up in the body in the form of tension. Have you ever noticed when you are obsessing about something, there is tightness somewhere in the body? The commonplaces are head, shoulders, stomach, and back. This relaxation technique that I’m going to show you will help relieve the tension in your mind and body. Before you begin the technique notice the spinning of the mind and the tension in the body. Then after you have completed the relaxation technique give the reduction of spinning and tension a percentage value. It might only be a 5 or 10% reduction in the beginning, but as you practice, the percentages of reduction will be greater. This relaxation technique works even better, if you do it as preventative care on a daily basis, not just when you get stressed out.
This relaxation technique has roots in the meditation traditions. Therefore, it has been helping people for thousands of years.
