Muscle Relaxation
Our muscles tire not only by the movements which we ask when we do some sport or physical activity daily, but tensions are loaded throughout the day. The demands of work, which sometimes are very high, a difficult situation before us or any other circumstances of our lives can be loaded tension and stressed muscles.
There are muscle relaxation techniques are very useful not only to rest the muscles, but to liberate them from the daily stresses. It is a very good way to prevent and eliminate stress.
Yoga teaches us the importance of relaxation for the health not only physical but also mental. According to yoga breathing is essential and should pay attention to the way you breathe before you start the exercises.
Prepare a comfortable, quiet and without interruptions of any kind. We concentrate first on breathing getting carried away by their pace should be slow, deep, quiet and effortless to take place. The first 10 minutes we concentrate on breathing, thinking in the air, and runs through the nose, respiratory tract until it reaches the lungs. You should feel like the air fed to the cells, blood and respiratory organs with vital element.
After we become fully aware of the breath, we focus our entire concentration on the force of gravity acting on our body. We let each muscle, legs, arms, back and all body muscles are driven by gravity, focusing on relaxation and avoiding contracting the muscles reach a point where they feel the body and especially the arms, shoulders and chest very heavy. This is achieved by relaxation that causes muscles do not feel the need to counter the force of gravity.
From this point we focus our minds on each muscle separately, working on most in need of attention.
