Proper Relaxation

Relaxation is a skill you can work on. Proper Relaxation isn't passive. You can relax your body by being aware of where you are carrying the tension. The most advanced Yoga pose is a relaxation pose. In Savasana, you follow a process of 'auto-suggestion'. Moving around the body, you tense and relax. You use your breath to reawaken your body through relaxation. Mental Relaxation requires conscious practice. Our minds need a moment not to do the heavy processing work of running through a gazillion real and imagined scenarios. The most important relaxation is learning not to worry about You so much. To relax the boundaries between what is you, and what isn't. To pause the worry, issues, and lack of quiet that comes from figuring out your place in the world.

Relax Your Body
Relax Your Mind
Relax Your Self
