Relaxation Techniques
Now we will explore different modes of relaxation.
While discussing the markers of stress, we saw that
tightening of
muscle or a group of muscle is a sign of pent-up tension. When we face a
stressful situation, without our realizing it, a group of muscles become
tense and contracted. A message is relayed to our brain that the body is
undergoing a stressful period and the mind is switched onto an alert mode.
Let us take driving through a busy road as an example. Our back and neck
muscles usually become tense, and if this continues, by evening we will have
a stiff neck and back! Clenching our fist and gritting our teeth when we are
angry are also examples of muscle tensing. Sometimes just the thought of
stressful conditions creates this muscle contraction. This sends a confused
message to our mind that our body is tensed up. This creates an uneasiness
as mentioned before.
While practicing relaxation methods, the corollary of the above phenomenon is
put to good use. We progressively relax our muscles from top to bottom. This
sends positive signals to our mind that our body is fully relaxed and so, you
can also relax! Coupled with deep breathing exercises and imagery relaxation,
this then forms the basis of all relaxation methods.
