st n markham ont 2947859 lifeline lot lamzs caxson autogenic relaxation this article is a continuation of my column of last week it may be preferable if you have read that introduction first i want you to imagine that you are in a very comfortable place where you have been before a place where you have felt com pletely calm and relaxed it may be on a sandy beach be side the sea or it may be in a field perhaps while you are on a picnic the air is warm aii you feel a slight breeze blowing across your body a few clouds are slowly drifting over head you close you eyes and lying on your back with arms by your side imagine a pleasant color which will spread through your body as you begin to relax now say to yourself my breathing is passive my brea thing is passive you should im agine that you dont have to make an effort to breathe your body is on autopilot doing the work without any effort on your part say these commands slowly and give yourself a pause of five seconds betweeneach command you can speed this up once you have practiced a few times however it is best to take plenty of time in the beginning you may find it helpful for someone in your family or a friend to slowly read these commands to you on your first try now imagine that you have cushions on your arms and legs which protect you from 200pound weights on each arm and leg these weights dont hurt but say to yourself my arms are very heavy my arms are very heavy my legs are very heavy my legs are very heavy now imagine that pleasant col or striking gently the very top of yourhead tighten the muscles of your scalp and as you imagine the color spreading through your scalp muscles let those muscles relax and say to yourself my scalp is relaxing my scalp is re laxing the sequence for each part of the body is therefore 1 tighten the muscles of that area 2 im agine your color spreading through that area 3 now let those muscles relax 4 say to yourself- my whatever is relaxing and then repeat this for the par ticular area a caution about certain areas of the body should be made some people have problems with neck chest or back tightness these areas should only be tightened a little as you may worsen the con dition otherwise using the above sequence prog ress from the top of your head in the following order proceed from your scalp to your neck face shoulders arms forearms wrists hands and fingers then go to your chest upper back sto mach and lower back at this point pause and repeat some of the commands from the start such as my breathing is pas sive my breathing is passive my arms are very heavy my arms are very heavy my legs are very heavy my legs are very heavy you can then add my upper body is relaxed then continue with your groin buttocks thighs legs ankles feet and finally toes you should then feef the color has spread through your entire body repeat the same commands from the start as well as say to yourself- my entire body is relaxed twice once you finish this portion you can now imagine that you can slowly count the clouds as they go overhead imagine that with each count from one to 10 you will magically feel double the relaxa tion from the count before as you slowly count from one to 10 you can say to yourself one of the fol lowing statements between counts my arms are very heavy my legs are very heavy my legs are very heavy i feel double the relaxation from just a moment ago all my anxieties and all my frustrations are eva porating up off the surface of my body into thin air my breathing is passive i usually alternate among these statements until i reach 10 then you should say to yourself my body is completely relaxed when you become an expert you can reach this stage in one to two minutes you can then remain in this completely relaxed state until you decide to return to the real v world then count slowly from 10 back to one alternating the follow ing commands i am waking up refreshed and relaxed the weights are being lifted off my arms and legs my arms and legs are getting lighter i will be re freshed and ready to face the rest of the day counselling service aids pregnant women helping women help them selves is the aim of birthright a confidential counselling
