Relieve stress with:
Yoga nidraBreathing exercises—calm breathing, diaphragmatic breath, square breathingProgressive muscle relaxationSleepAffirmationOr, use visualization techniques to anchor a practice. Why Visualization? Visualization lets our mind remain somewhat active as it takes instruction to create images internally. The mind-body connection is powerful and we’re learning more about it everyday. Visualization techniques have been successfully used in the fields of medicine, sports, music, and psychology for many years. Practice visualization through:

There is also a useful and
complete directory to reference if you have a specific issue
you’d like to address or a desired meditative effect—like more energy, clarity, pain relief—that you’d like to

meditation in the book, or it will give you a new exercise for
your particular focus. You can search through some common
physical conditions that are often helped with meditation, or you
can choose an activity from the “Quick Re-sets.”
