Insomnia and Stress (part 2)

Insomnia and Stress (part 2)


Progressive Muscle Relaxation
Progressive muscle relaxation training is a great start after the rhythmic breathing techniques learned. The progressive muscle relaxation training may include self-hypnosis, which is a great source for relaxation.

Self hypnosis may scare few but to the contrary the tactic is easy after it is learnt a couple of times and there is nothing to be frighten of, since if you learn well you are on your way to relaxation, which reduces stress and helps a person sleep.

To get started on self-hypnosis you must find a restful area and extract any thoughts from the mind. The mind must find an area of relaxation in order for hypnosis to take place. After the mind is relaxed, the person can then start a count if this is part of the procedure and work slowly into a progressive relaxed muscle state.

The muscles should not feel any tension, nor should the body experience any stress. Hypnotism is sort of mediation, however, the different levels work differently since this procedure is to totally relax the mind rather than encourage the mind to recall a repressed experience.

After you master the technique, you can move onto to various other levels in reducing stress and eliminating insomnia.
Sleep well,
Greg
