5 minute stress reliever

Use imagery to imagine you are a feather floating in the air. You become more and more relaxed as you drift downward toward the ground. You finally glide to the ground, gently and softly touching down. As you are lying there, in the image, all stress has left your body and you feel totally and completely relaxed. During a hectic holiday season, use this technique for two to five minutes at least three times a day. Sound Therapy can include relaxing music, sounds of nature, especially the sea, Gregorian chants. As you listen to relaxing music, concentrate on the silent spaces between the notes and apply Imagery to allow the music to WASH over you, rinsing stress away. A walk in the woods or along the seashore will give your brain and muscles relief from stress through the increased oxygen intake. While listening to the natural sounds around you can further relax and relieve your stress. Among my favorite relaxation CD´s is a recording of the ocean and Mozart in combination.
