Progressive Muscle Relaxation For A Body Braced All Day

Your body has been braced since the morning, holding a low tension against a day that kept asking for more. The hours end but the shoulders stay up, the hands stay half closed, and nothing quite lets go on its own. This is progressive muscle relaxation in its simplest form, moving through hands, shoulders, face, belly and legs, tensing gently and then releasing. Nothing to achieve and no effort to hold. Only the difference between tight and loose, felt one part at a time until the whole body has been let down.

Transcript

Often, We carry the weight of the morning all the way into the evening. We brace ourselves against the hours, Expecting another task. We hold our muscles tight against the world. Long after the light has faded outside. Bring your attention down to your hands. Slowly and gently pull your fingers into fists. Squeezing at half strength. Breathe in deeply and hold that gentle tension for a short moment. Feel the work in your forearms. Now let the breath out, Release your hands completely and stay longer with this new quiet softness. Lift your shoulders slowly up towards your ears. Hold them there softly. Then drop them down as you exhale. Scrunch your forehead and cheeks tightly together. Then let your face become completely smooth and calm. Pull your belly inward. Then let it soften. Tense your legs and your feet and release them heavily into the floor. Now tense your whole body at once, Very gently. Squeeze softly and let everything go entirely loose and undone. Namaste. This was Meditay. Come back whenever you need to.
