STEP 2: Practice Formal Relaxation Skills
Some people find that a passive technique to quiet the mind and relax
the body is more suited to their personal style. You will have two choices
if you prefer a technique of this nature. One is called Generalized Relaxation
and Imagery, and the second is a meditation practice.
In Cue-Controlled Deep Muscle Relaxation, you rely on tensing the muscles
first as a way to experience relaxation. As an option, or for an occasional
change of pace, you may want to try this twenty-minute Generalized Relaxation
and Imagery exercise. In this practice you will focus only on relaxing
-- not tensing -- your muscles. In addition, several new visual images
are added to help you increase your sense of comfort and well-being as
you enjoy peace and quiet. A pre-recorded tape is available. (See Resources)
