Introduction to the Theme: Stress
Mindful Moments with Christine
In the Mindful Moment for the month of Stress, Christine shows us two useful stress releasers. The first one, the Physiological Sigh, is a short breath technique used when you need a fast and effective way to calm yourself down, as it works like a “kill switch” for stress. The second technique, Progressive Muscle Relaxation, can be developed as a long term practice to help release stress, with the guided relaxation focusing on the difference between the state of tension and the state of relaxation.
