Meditation 5 Stress Relief Down to the Cellular Level: Relax Your Muscles

Part 5 of 6. Practice for seven days or until memorized. This part adds a phrase for our stomach.  This relaxation technique accesses our innate ability to relax our muscles, our bodies, and our minds. It is a powerful tool to stay well. The mechanism is brought on by our brain's ability to feel warmth and heaviness through self-suggestion. This in turn signals our nervous system that we are relaxed and safe.  It has been used to elicit the Relaxation Response, the opposite of the stress response for tension, headaches, muscle aches, and any stress-related conditions. There are 6 parts and it is meant to be practiced one part per week. Commit to it and practice it to master the skill. By the end of the 6-week practice, you will have memorized it and you can have it with you as a technique to quickly bring on the Relaxation Response in any situation.
