  • Power Living Mini-Escapes: Relaxation Techniques for Any Situation comes with a booklet explaining the techniques. Here's a sampling:

    Deep Three-Part Breathing...

    Deep, diaphragmatic breathing can take in seven times more oxygen than in shallow, chest breathing. It can focus your mind, build energy, and help manage pain. It also serves to control the "fight or flight" stress response, kicking in the parasympathetic nervous system, which commands the body to relax. It is a very useful technique to employ before public speaking, or if you need to quickly calm down.

    Meditation...

    Meditation allows us to take a break from the incessant stream of thoughts flowing through our minds. It is about being, rather than doing. Clearing the mind can help you enjoy life more fully - gaining greater clarity, awareness, focus, peace and purpose. When the mind focuses on one thing, it becomes quiet. There are a variety of meditation techniques. For example, you can focus on your breath, a candle, a word or phrase, a picture or a sound. Practice different techniques to find one that works for you. Make a point to set aside a certain time for stillness and silence each day. Although it can be a spiritual practice, meditation is not about a specific religion. Instead, it is a way of living consciously in the moment without judgment.
