“In the beginners mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert\u2019s there are few.”<\/h5>\n
-Shunryu Suzuki<\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Focus. It’s more important than ever now that you\u00a0are surrounded by distractions. Culture presents you\u00a0with so much information that you\u00a0can easily become overwhelmed. You\u00a0can be pulled in too many directions and feel that you’re\u00a0spread too thin. Your\u00a0mind\u00a0tends to be full of thoughts that are moving too quickly, leaving you\u00a0confused. In this distracted state of mind, you\u00a0must be careful not to forget your physical\u00a0body. You\u00a0must strive to concentrate on one thing, directing your attention within your body.<\/p>\n

\"Relaxation<\/a><\/p>\n

Relaxation With\u00a0A Focus On The Body<\/h3>\n

Focusing on the relaxation of your\u00a0physical body enables\u00a0you to calm the mind and to experience a state of well-being. Consider where you’ve felt tension recently. Was it your neck, shoulders, or back? What about your arms, hips, or legs? Take a moment to remember how you’ve been feeling\u00a0over the past few days. Do certain muscles stand out to you in your memory? Put yourself in the same position you work in each day and observe\u00a0how you feel to locate your most overused\u00a0muscles.<\/p>\n

To start, choose the most important area–the spot you’ve been\u00a0feeling the most uncomfortable. Find a reclined position that allows the muscles in the area to relax completely. Use your hands to touch the area, feeling it’s texture while you move your fingertips\u00a0through the muscle slowly. If you feel tight bands and knots in the muscle, apply\u00a0heat first and apply pressure second.<\/p>\n

Muscle Relaxation Methods<\/h3>\n

Hold a hot pack or hot water bottle to the area for 10-15 minutes. Placing a damp cloth between the heat source and your skin works best. Allow the area to cool for 2-3 minutes and then repeat, reapplying as many times as you’d like–the more the better! Immediately after this, apply firm pressure to the muscle.\"Relaxation<\/a><\/p>\n

Press the area with your hands\u00a0if you can reach the area you’re focusing on. If you can’t reach it, use a foam roller or a tennis ball to do it. Place the roller or ball on a firm surface such as the floor, a chair, or a wall. Lean your body on the roller or ball so that the pressure is focused on your target area. Keep the intensity at a level that’s comfortable for you and hold for 5-10 seconds. Repeat 2-3 times, being careful to\u00a0breathe deeply and slowly throughout the process.<\/p>\n

\"Foam<\/a><\/p>\n

The Best Order For\u00a0Muscle Relaxation<\/h3>\n

These methods are especially effective before and after exercise and\u00a0sleep. Applying pressure encourages the flow of lactic acid and other waste away from the area so the body can dispose of it more efficiently. As your muscles adapt to a softer state over time, stretching becomes more effective. This is because stretching\u00a0works best when the muscle being stretched has a very relaxed neutral resting tone–it should be completely loose when you’re not using it actively. This requires the brain to normalize the activation level of the muscle, which can be achieved through the application of heat, pressure, and gentle exercises.<\/p>\n

If you continue this\u00a0practice diligently, you will feel the\u00a0muscles in your physical body becoming more relaxed and your mind will soon follow. For you to\u00a0enter a deeply calm state of mind, you must enter a\u00a0state of deep physical relaxation. This reduction in stress improves your body’s overall efficiency in it’s\u00a0adaption to your environment.\u00a0You’ll never know how relaxed your\u00a0body and mind can be\u00a0until you make it happen, so start exploring today!<\/p>\n
