Relaxation

The mother of all habits.

Because when people become whole inside and outside, they live in peace with themselves and with the whole universe, when they are capable of controlling themselves - their own emotions, thoughts and behaviour, and they understand themselves, well then, yes - everything becomes easier. The improvement becomes a natural thing, gradual and constant, without beating yourself up.

Why is it so important?

Because at the same time it helps me change inside and outside. I embrace my whole person, visible and invisible, my body, my soul and my spirit

. The method that I propose is suitable for everyone, without excluding anyone – a believer in God

and non-believers.

1st. What must we know before starting?

1 An autonomous method, that is: every one of us can perform it on our own: it’s a series of exercises in concentration that focuses on various zones of the body, to obtain a state of relaxation both at the physical, and the psychological, level, to increase vital energy and control one’s own behaviour.

2 Through exercises that we can consider “mental”, we can obtain real body changes, which are capable of influencing our psyche.

3 The mind and the body are not autonomous and independent, but they are strongly linked, in a relationship of reciprocal and constant influence, for this reason it is possible, through mental activity, to obtain changes in the organic functions and vice-versa.

4 To obtain psycho-physical benefits, that is: relaxation of the mind and body, the exercise must be repeated constantly, so that it does not become autogenous, that is: that it generates itself, without the concurrence of will, in an automatic and spontaneous way.

5 To shape your own personality according to desired traits.

6 Help to overcome negative psychological states: insecurity, fear and depression.

7 Help to regenerate physical and psychological energy.

8 Already after a few weeks of the training, we can notice the feeling of well-being, relaxation, calm and self-control that come on their own spontaneously, without any effort on our part.

To learn the fundamental things about the method, we need at least 6 weeks divided into 6 stages. The exercises must be carried out at the right moment and in an appropriate place, in a comfortable position. The most suitable position is supine.

2nd. What do we have to work at?

1 Feel the weight of your body - bringing on a gradual inertia and muscular skeletal relaxation.

2 Feel the heat of your body - which gradually brings on the smooth relaxation of the musculature and vasodilation.

3 Mastery of cardiac function (auto-regulation of cardiac frequency).

4 Mastery of lung function (regulation of your breathing).

5 Abolition of tension in the organs of the abdominal cavity, through action on the coeliac plexus (autonomous nervous system).

6 Mastery of the vasomotor regulation in your head (a feeling of freshness on your forehead).

3rd. Exercise plan in order

Phase 1 - Learn the correct posture to facilitate concentration and achieve the right order:

The state of relaxation of the skeletal muscle to feel the weight of your body,

The state of relaxation of the vascular system and the feeling of warmth,

Slowing down of the work rhythm of your body (heart beat and breathing).

2nd Phase - Feeling the sense of peace and internal tranquillity.

3rd Phase - It depends on the individual needs of each person: in a state of deep relaxation - giving suggestions on what we want to work on:

fear

self-image

relations with others

relations with God

forgiveness

self-esteem

the stages of your life

the various problems in your life

the past

Each one of us should know it for him/herself. You can work out every problem periodically, for a few days.

OK, ready?

Shall we start? I knew it - you can’t wait.

Pay attention! Pay attention! If we want to change our life, the theory and knowledge is not enough, but we need practice. The theory is the start, practice is the route to…??? to be discovered. We must exercise relaxation:

1 every day constantly

2 it must become a habit

3 1-3 times a day

4 for 15-30 minutes

5 the most appropriate place and position (the best position is supine)

6 wear comfortable clothes, not constricting

The exercise is divided into 6 stages for 6 weeks.
