Relaxation Lessons-Task 2

For Task Two your will get into the same position as Task number one.

• While lying in a quiet setting begin to think about your feet.
• Tighten or tense your feet only as in Task One. Take note of how this feels.
• Now, relax your feet and note how it feels.
• Then, tighten the feet along with your legs noting how this feels.
  
• Relax the feet and the legs paying close attention to the difference in feeling between tense and relaxed.
• Continue on by adding the torso-hips, stomach, chest, back. Tense and relax.
• Add the hands-clench your fists.
  
• Add the arms and shoulders.
• Add the neck and head making the best "lizard face" you can.

After completing the task of tensing , relaxing and paying close attention to how your body feels, just lie quietly for a couple of minutes and try to bring on a sense of relaxation. Note: If you are usually tense you may feel strange sensations when you relax your body. It is normal to feel tingling or other mild sensations when a very tense area begins to relax and let blood flow normally though it. Don't be concerned about this.

Happy Relaxation
