Find a quiet place that is free of distractions. Sit down or lie down, whatever is most comfortable for you. Remove your shoes. Loosen your clothing. Relaxation techniques involve relaxing the muscles of the body starting from the head down to the bottom of your feet.
Emphasis is placed on relaxing neck, shoulders, and jaw muscles.
Now close your eyes . . . Take a slow deep breath . . . Hold that breath several seconds as is comfortable for you . . . Now release it . . . Repeat this until you feel completely relaxed.
