Two Minutes To Stress Reduction And Relaxation
This exercise is designed to cleanse your body of stress and
tension. It's a variation of deep breathing exercises often
associated with Yoga and Meditation. If you haven't looked into
deep breathing exercises, you may want to research them, as I'm
not going to go describe the technical details in this article.
The exercise:
Begin by standing in a sturdy comfortable stance, feet shoulder
width apart. Breathe in deeply through your nose, and exhale
through your mouth. While exhaling, try to feel the breath
leaving through the soles of your feet.
For the first few exhalations, feel the toxens in your body
escape through the soles of your feet. Feel cleansed oxygen and
energy enter your body when you inhale.
For the next few exhalations, feel the tension and stress melt
away.
As you inhale, absorb peacefullness and joy.
As you exhale, let regrets and negative thoughts about the past
disappear. Allow worries about tomorrow slip away.
All that remains is the sensation of the breath entering and
exiting your body.
You can inhale any positive thoughts or emotions you like.
Exhale any negative feelings you may have built up during the
day.
This exercise should leave you feeling invigorated and cleansed
of toxens, stress and negativity.
