A Perfect Recipe for…
RELAXATION
Here is a typical exercise to ease both body and mind. It can be memorized, or the written instructions can be recorded on cassette or CD-R so as to make the process easier. The entire exercise, which relaxes the facial area, neck, shoulders, and upper back, takes about five minutes. Before you begin, make sure you won’t be disturbed – close the door and take the phone off the hook.

Step 1: |
Settle back quietly and comfortably into a favorite chair or sofa. Allow your muscles to become loose and heavy. |
|
Step 2: |
Wrinkle your forehead, hold it, then smooth it out; picturing the entire forehead becoming smoother as the relaxation increases. |
|
Step 3: |
Frown, creasing your eyebrows tightly, feeling the tension. Let go of the tension, smoothing out your forehead once more. |
|
Step 4: |
Close your eyes more … and, more; tightly. Feel the tension as you hold them shut. Relax your eyes until they are closed gently and comfortably. |
|
Step 5: |
Clench your jaws and teeth together. Feel the tension build, and then let go and Relax, letting the lips part slightly. Allow yourself to feel relief in the relaxation. |
|
Step 6: |
Press your tongue hard against the roof of your mouth. Again, feel the tension, then relax. |
|
Step 7: |
Purse your lips together more and more tightly, then relax. Notice the contrast between tension and relaxation. Feel the relaxation all over your face, forehead and scalp, eyes, jaws, lips and tongue. |
|
Step 8: |
Press your head back against your chair, concentrating on the tension in the neck. Roll your head to the right and feel the tension shift. Repeat to the left. Straighten your head and bring it forward, pressing chin to chest. Finally, allow your head to return to a comfortable position. |
|
Step 9: |
Shrug your shoulders up to your ears, holding the tension, then drop. Repeat the shrug, then move the shoulders forward and backward, feeling the tension in your shoulders and upper back. Drop the shoulders and relax. |
|
Step 10: |
Allow the relaxation to spread deep into the shoulders, into your back. Relax your neck and throat. Relax your jaws and face. Allow the relaxation to take over and grow deeper and deeper. When you are ready, slowly open your eyes. |
