Practice: Stress and Anxiety

25-minute practice for Stress and Anxiety

This is a 25 minute mindfulness practice with progressive muscle relaxation and autogenics.

This practice starts with a bodyscan leading to progressive muscle relaxation (PMR), which is a deep relaxation technique. It is used to control stress and anxiety, relieve insomnia, and reduce symptoms of certain types of chronic pain.

This is followed by autogenic training is a desensitization-relaxation technique where we use visual imagery and body awareness to reduce stress.

Try it and see if you feel more relaxed and grounded.
