Progressive muscle relaxation is another well known and effective Stress Relaxation Technique. It is a two step process in which you systematically tense and relax different muscles in the body. Most practitioners start muscle relaxation at the feet and work their way up wards relaxing their muscles. Meditation is an age old spiritual technique that focuses the mind’s energy on your own breath, a word, a sound or a symbol. A quiet environment, comfortable attitude, a point of focus and a passive attitude to relax and rid your self from stress.
