Free guide for deeper relaxation
It’s a wonderful time of year to think about improving one’s health and well-being. Sadly, many of us feel tired, mentally drained, and burned out instead... It’s all too easy to lose our sense of calm and balance in the middle of our busy and stressful lives.
So, I’d like to suggest something that will help you nourish your mind and body that takes only ten minutes to learn! My Guide to Deeper Relaxation (click here to learn more) is the ultimate, no-stress/de-stress tool for busy people! The guide includes an audio track designed especially to boost relaxation and aid deep breathing. The Guide is part of a campaign I did for the health food store - Holland & Barrett and their Summer Well Being. At the bottom of the page there's an relaxation audio to obviously help you michelle to relax. - Enjoy...
Before you go onto this page I just want to share with you the Relaxation Pose - Savasana to help get you comfortable.
Relaxation Pose – Savasana
Savasana is a pose of total relaxation—making it one of the mo st challenging Asanas (postures), as you have to remain in a neutral position and be still. In Savasana it is time to observe the body and the mind and try to let go of any distractions, including the mind or thoughts that come into it. This is not as easy as you think, as the mind wanders, so just ask the mind to be calm and any thought that comes to mind, allow it to pass through and come back to focusing on your breath.
How to practise Savasana:
• Lie on your back on the floor, your Yoga Mat or even your bed, have your legs about 2 foot apart.
• Bring your pelvis into a neutral comfortable position. Making sure your lower back is very comfortable.
• Soften your abdomen - this helps your legs to let go, and allow your ankles to fall loosely to out the side, letting go of the legs completely from the pelvis.
• Feel your torso being supported by the floor. Have your arms a 45 degree angle away from the body with the palms facing up and the fingers loosely curled.
• Allow your shoulders to draw away from the ears and relax. Allow the chest/ heart area to be open, free and relaxed. Feel your shoulders to melt into the floor and close your eyes.
• Tuck the chin in towards the chest to lengthen the neck.
• This is Savasana the relaxation pose, feel your whole body being supported by the floor; the earth below and bring your mind to your natural breath and allow your self to go deeper within.
Welcome to a path of peace and good health! Enjoy your relaxation audio...
Until next time, take a few deep breaths, let go and relax, your body and mind will be gald you did!
Namaste
