This is the story we talked about on the show this morning.
Here are the steps he suggests.
To start, take some deep breaths and start relaxing each and every part of your body – from head to toe.
Start by relaxing the muscles in your forehead. Relax your eyes, your cheeks, your jaw and focus on your breathing. Now go down to your neck and your shoulders. Make sure your shoulders are not tensed up. Drop them as low as you can and keep your arms loose by your side, including your hands and fingers.
While doing this, imagine a warm sensation going from your head down to your fingertips, before going from your heart to your toes.
Take a deep breath and slowly exhale, relaxing your chest, your stomach, down to your thighs, knees, legs and feet.
During the technique, it’s important to try and clear your mind of any thoughts and/or stresses.
To do this, think of two scenarios.
One – you’re lying in a canoe on a calm lake with nothing but a clear blue sky above you.
Two – you’re lying in a black velvet hammock in a pitch black room.
If at any point you feel yourself getting distracted, repeat the words “Don’t think, don’t think, don’t think” for 10 seconds.
Practice every night for six weeks.
Many people have claimed this works.
