RELAXATION
MEDITATION
This remarkably easy and relaxing meditation
makes use of a little-known secret about the eyes. Allowing the
eyes to rest in a soft downward gaze has an instant, automatic
relaxing effect. Relaxation meditation provides a great deal of
stress reduction and can be used as a quick 2 minute relax and
refresh break almost anywhere.
You
will also realize a heightened sense of
alertness.
1.
Sit comfortably with your spine reasonably
straight.
2.
Allow your eyes to rest comfortably downward, gazing softly,
but not focused on anything.
3.
Without closing your eyes completely, let your eyelids drop to
a level that feels most comfortable.
4.
Continue gazing downward... the act of gazing is your primary
focus (rather than the area at which you are gazing). You may
notice your breathing becoming more rhythmic.
5.
It's ok to let your attention drift a bit. If your eyes become
very heavy, it's ok to let them close. If you notice you've
come out of your relaxed space, simply bring your attention
back to your relaxed downward gaze.
