The journey with progressive muscle relaxation helps you to notice the difference between tension and relaxation. This process involves consciously contracting and relaxing various body parts. It allows you to become more connected with your body and notice how you feel.

Preparing for relaxation
When you are beginning to practice progressive muscle relaxation exercises keep the following in mind:
• Physical injuries - If you have any injuries, or a history of physical problems that may cause muscle pain, always consult your doctor before you start.
• Select your surroundings - Minimise the distraction to your five senses. For example; turn off the TV and radio and use soft lighting.
• Make yourself comfortable - Use a chair that comfortably seats your body, including your head. Wear loose clothing and take off your shoes.
• Internal mechanics - Avoid practicing after big, heavy meals, and do not practice after consuming any intoxicants, such as alcohol.
