Relaxation exercises for stress
Three Simple Relaxation Exercises
The following exercises demonstrates how the GSR meter instantly and continuously monitors your progress as your mental and physical states go from tense to relaxed. NOTE: Throughout these exercises, try to maintain even and relaxed breathing.
Basic Tension Relief
Set your GSR meter at a low tone and try to encourage relaxation in the following areas by doing the following:
1. Let your shoulders fall.
2. Let your jaw drop. As it does, your mouth will open slightly.
3. Relax the muscles around your eyes and forehead.
Breathing Relaxation
1. Keep your hand relaxed and wait until the tone has stabilized in the low range.
2. Relax quietly with your eyes closed and focus on your breathing. Each time you inhale, fill your diaphragm by allowing your stomach to expand and letting this expansion roll up to your chest. Think of the tone as a clock ticking in the background as you focus your attention on your breathing.
3. Exhale slowly and completely, each time thinking the word "calm", or any other word you would prefer to use. Stretch out the word so it becomes CAAAAAAALMMMMMM.
4. If thoughts arise or your attention wanders, simply focus on your breath when you realize what has happened.
5. This exercise may help you learn to let go of distracting or tension-producing thought patterns.
Two advanced visualization exercises
1.Visualization is a useful relaxation technique. When you have mastered the previous exercises, raise the tone of the GSR meter to
a higher starting level and teach yourself to lower it to your previous level. Visualize and experience in detail a pleasant situation.
Observe its effects on the tone. Then visualize an unpleasant or stressful situation. If this raises the tone, concentrate on bringing
it down again by switching back to the pleasant scene.
2. This one is more difficult, but very rewarding if you master it.
After you have succeeded in lowering the tone, visualize an anxiety-producing situation and try to maintain the low tone by
countering your anxiety with relaxation. The purpose of this exercise is to encourage you to relax when confronted with a real,
stressful situation.
