Date: Thursday, October 27 @ 09:20:34 MSD Topic: Home Gym
Home relaxation and meditation for relaxation & stress relief. This remarkably easy and relaxing meditation technique makes use of a little-known secret about the eyes. Allowing the eyes to rest in a soft downward gaze has an instant, automatic relaxing effect.
Steps of Relaxation Meditation
- Sit comfortably with your spine reasonably straight.
- Allow your eyes to rest comfortably downward, gazing softly, but not focussed on
anything.
- Without closing your eyes completely, let your eyelids drop to a level that feels most
comfortable.
- Continue gazing downward... the act of gazing is your primary focus (rather than the area at which you are gazing). You may notice your breathing becoming more
rhythmic.
- It's ok to let your attention drift a bit. If your eyes become very heavy, it's ok to let them close. If you notice you've come out of your relaxed space, simply bring your attention back to your relaxed downward
gaze.
Benefits of this meditation technique:
- Relaxation & stress reduction
- Can be used for an effective 2 minute relax & recharge break
- Increased alertness
