RELAXATION techniques

Realxation means the restoration of bodily-mental-spiritual harmony and balance, the state of inner peace and the tranquility of mind. It can be reached by relaxing the muscles, letting our mental problems and inner stress go and mobilizing our deep-lying energies.

Relaxation methods are procedures which help to reach the state of inner tranquility by turning inward and concentrating on the self. These methods are closely related with those ancient methods of meditation, which are aimed to contemplate and visually evoke deep inner thoughts. Meditation techniques include the following phases: the creation of inner tranquility, the monitoring of the content of consciousness and the unification of the possible inner responses.

Relaxation techniques belong to the category of the most ancient therapies. These techniques today have several variations which can be divided into three larger groups including  active, passive and integrated methods.
