About Meditation & Relaxation

About meditation

Meditation means focussed awareness. 'Focussing on your breathing’ is meditation; ‘listening to the birds’ is meditation.

Meditation is an approach that anyone can use to help them with stress, anxiety and medical problems by way of thought, contemplation, and reflection. Our recordings focus on these elements and listening to them will easily bring you into a meditative state. Meditation can bring about healing of both the body and the mind by using deliberation of thought and consideration.

About relaxation

Relaxation is a feeling of calm in body and mind. It is a technique which can be used in stressful situations and everyday life to reduce tension and increase control.

Benefits of relaxation

Relaxation will help you to:

think more clearly and enjoy improved concentration.
feel calmer, happier and more energetic.
experience less discomfort.
improve your body’s efficiency by decreasing heart rate, blood pressure, breathing rate and muscle tension.
enjoy more restful sleep.
increase your feeling of control of your environment.

Relaxation has no side effects, feels good and costs nothing.

Tips to promote relaxation

set aside a regular time to relax each day.
choose a quiet place.
wear loose, comfortable clothing and lie or sit in a comfortable position.
try not to practice relaxation techniques in bed, unless you intend going to sleep.
other thoughts may enter your mind - accept these thoughts and bring your concentration back to your breathing - do not be concerned or distracted.

Relaxation is a technique which improves and becomes easier with regular practise.
