Progressive Muscle Relaxation (10 minutes)

Progressive Muscle Relaxation is one of the very first tools I started to use to help me get back in contact with my body and learning how to feel again (it took me a while!). Practising with this PMR technique once a day will slowly help you learn how to communicate with your own body which may be something you have not done for years (or decades). 

PMR is really helpful for anyone dealing with stress, tension and anxiety amongst other things. This 10 minute version is short so you can incorporate it into your week as often as you like. It is great to listen to before bed or at any point you are feeling stressed.

The goal of this PMR is to help you become more aware of how you use the muscles in your body.

Most people are able to learn to relax their muscles much more deeply than they normally do. This is significant because even when you think you are completely relaxed, there is normally some residual tension still in your body. This 10 minute PMR will help you release that (hence the more you do it, the better).

Once you are aware of how your muscles are behaving, you are usually able to reduce physical and mental symptoms of stress and tension. You may also find that you are more able to cope with situations that previously stressed you or make you anxious. You can do this PMR as often as you want to and any time of the day.

You can listen to the audio here on the website (above), or you can listen on You Tube directly.

If you are finding that you have a tendency to drift away into thought when meditating, that is ok. With practice you will find it comes more easily.

You might also find, especially if you have ADHD that long meditations are difficult for you to focus on. If so, aim for short 10 minute ones like these. 

If you are curious to learn more about your inner world, your emotions and how they might be controlling your life, you can take the Quiz to find out your Emotional Survival Patterns®. These are patterns which may be causing you to self sabotage, limit yourself or live out of alignment with your true self. The ESP Quiz is free to take and you get your results as soon as you finish the quiz.  You can take the quiz HERE or click on the image below.
