There are many different ways to relax but I find visualisation\u00a0one of the easiest ones to get into. Especially when times are stressy, it&#8217;s a quick way to feel more grounded and balanced again. Do you use it as a relaxation tool?<\/p>\n<p>When it all get&#8217;s a bit too much I allow myself some time to take my mind on a little journey. Especially these past weeks have been a bit stressy and intense around me (more on this in one of my next blogs). But visualisation has been a great way to simply be, to give me a time out to chill and yet do something good for my mind and body.<\/p>\n<p>As nice as the real, physical journeys are, a journey for the mind is not to be overlooked. And the best &#8211; you can practice it wherever you are!<\/p>\n<p>Would you agree when I say that too often we try to achieve relaxation by hanging out in front of the TV, surf around on the computer or play games on the iPad? But let&#8217;s be honest, those are just cover-ups, l like to call them &#8216;pretend-relaxations&#8217;. After all, our mind is still on overdrive with all the images\u00a0and information. So instead we should find ways to allow the mind to really de-stress and relax. Ways to balance out today&#8217;s stress factors and all the noise around us.<\/p>\n<p>A good relaxation practise can do a lot for calming the body and mind, such as<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; decrease the heart rate<br \/>\n&#8211; slow down and deepen the breathing<br \/>\n&#8211; relax the muscles<br \/>\n&#8211; reduce blood pressure<\/p>\n<p>Practising regularly relaxation may help us to feel energised, become more motivated and productive, reduce aches and pains and it can even boost the immune system.<\/p>\n<p>For me, it&#8217;s always a great way to calm my nerves &#8211; especially these flatters and slight panic moments when you are preparing for (yet another) move and the mind just keeps spinning into all &#8220;what if&#8221; scenarios. Perhaps you have those moments, too?<\/p>\n<p>So yes, for me,\u00a0<em>Visualization\u00a0<\/em>works to stop this spinning mind of mine.\u00a0It\u2019s a technique with which\u00a0you picture a calming, peaceful\u00a0place, scene or situation. With practice, your mind focuses on creating this vision, without any distraction and hence relaxes body and mind.<\/p>\n<p>Let your mind take you on a trip! It\u2019s really a great way to relax, focus and recharge.<\/p>\n<p>You can either read a visualisation text or you can listen to a visualisation. I personally prefer the later option as I find it\u2019s an easier way to let go and dive into the situation. Either way below I attach some links for both so you can get started.<\/p>\n<p>Just some hints before you start:<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you will not be interrupted, put your telephone on silence. If you can then use headphones to really be in the moment.<\/p>\n<p>To avoid falling asleep a seated position is recommended, but sometimes I find it easier to let go when lying down. When I struggle to fall asleep I use visualisation as a bedtime routine. When I wake up during the night I often use the flow of the sun salutation as a calming down routine, I mentioned that in <a href=\"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/2019\/07\/04\/mindful-sun-salutation\/\">my previous blog<\/a> if you want to know more about that one.<\/p>\n<p>But obviously,\u00a0you should never\u00a0use any relaxation techniques while driving or when busy with other activities that require your attention!<\/p>\n<p>But enough talking, time for action &#8211; oh no hang on &#8211; not action, but relaxation! Here you find two listening visualisations and one reading version:<\/p>\n<p>Take yourself to the beach (from the IOWA State University)<\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-7646-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.counseling.iastate.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/mp3\/The%20Beach.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.counseling.iastate.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/mp3\/The%20Beach.mp3\">http:\/\/www.counseling.iastate.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/mp3\/The%20Beach.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>Take yourself to the Ocean (from McKinley)<\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-7646-2\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mckinley.illinois.edu\/units\/health_ed\/stress_audio\/Ocean%20Retreat.mp3?_=2\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mckinley.illinois.edu\/units\/health_ed\/stress_audio\/Ocean%20Retreat.mp3\">http:\/\/www.mckinley.illinois.edu\/units\/health_ed\/stress_audio\/Ocean%20Retreat.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To read: Take yourself to the beach:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mckinley.illinois.edu\/units\/health_ed\/stress_audio\/beach_txt.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Visualisation script<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I hope you will find some ease with these visualisations!
