2.) Sit in a comfortable position. Lean your head against the back of a chair. Close
eyes, take a deep breath and place each thumb at a point on the base of the skull
near each ear. Move thumbs downward from ears to shoulder tops; press and hold
tense spots as you go.
Then rub back of neck from base of skull downward, pressing and holding tense
spots. Cross one arm over chest and press muscles along top of opposite shoulder;
hold until tension is released. Repeat with other arm. Drop arms to sides, and
breath, imagining your skull is heavy as a bowling ball. Relax completely. |
3.) Take a Bubble Bath. Light scented candles all around you, and turn off the lights
listen to classical music. Imagine you’re self on a quiet Tropical Island. See your
self relaxing on a great lounge chair while servants take care of your every need.
4.) Get a good night's sleep: Don't drink coffee or eat too late as it makes it
difficult to sleep. Try listening to soothing music as you drift off to sleep. Don't
think about what you need to do the next day.
One thing that works well for me is counting backwards from 600 to 0 by 4's i.e.;
600, 596, 592, 588, 584; this makes it very difficult to think of other things that
keep you awake.
5.) Add a few drops of calming aromas to Canola or Sunflower oil, smooth on
temples or earlobes.
6.) Exercise; It increase blood flow, bringing more oxygen to your brain and unkinks
tight muscles.
7.) To ease kinks out of shoulders and upper body, while sitting at your desk,
alternate each arm, reaching towards the ceiling. Do this for 5 minutes.
8.) Light scented candles around the room turn off lights lie on your back and
reach arms and legs toward ceiling. Rotate, starting with each arm and then each
leg. Do this for 10 minutes.
9.) Rotate your head stretching as far as you can, start to your right shoulder, the
to the back as if looking at the ceiling, then to left shoulder then to front, putting
chin to chest. Do for a few minutes then rotate starting with left shoulder.
10.) Close your eyes lift both arms over your head until your hands touch. Slowly
lower your arms down to your sides up and down as if in a flying motion. Imagine
you are a bird flying over the ocean. Let your imagination soar. |
