THURSDAY'S RELAXATION TECHNIQUES ~

[selmaS]

HI All...we r trying to get a thread on different ways we relax to help reduce pain  of HA's and body aches......

I like to sit in a low light, low sound environment and soak in a warm bath...candles help that have a nice soft clean scent.... lavender is supposed to be the number one, but I like vanilla or cucumber melon......

What do u do?

i like to put a cd on of relaxing music like michael bolton or percy sledge,turn it down just to where i can hear it,and lay in my recliner with the curtains closed,i have drapes so its dark in my living room,,i always end up falling asleep,lol relaxed though i guess

Sounds lovely Steph...however, I found walking on sand very difficult for many yrs...so I have to walk on the boardwalk instead......

A good warm soak is my fav too : )

Anything water related relaxes me... a warm bubble bath with candles (a towel rolled behind my neck helps to relieve pressure)...a soak in the hot tub...just a hot shower... or a walk on the beach.

REST  REST  REST....this will help we need our sleep and at times more than average amounts.....

I do find posture is helping as well as a good pair of shoes....lol...I always knew I had to have good shoes on.....but , I find going for a walk in my MBT's sneakers helps me relax too!!
