Progressive Muscle Relaxation

This is a deeply relaxing body scan, led by Steph Gadsden. This practice is a progressive muscle relaxation, helping to actively relax the major muscles in the body and bringing awareness to the difference between tension and relaxation. This helps to instantaneously calm down your fight/ flight response, reducing anxiety, improving restful sleep and helping you to clear and calm your mind. This meditation is a helpful tool to use in periods of stress or as a simple and effective way to calm the body and mind after a busy day.

Nice clear voice and great progression from forehead to toes. Will use this with friends as well as a self care group who'll find this relaxation technique most beneficial. Thanks and Om Shanti.
