Relaxation
and Visualization are two separate stress-relieving
techniques often
practiced together. The relaxation techniques calm the tensed
muscles, while the visualization methods use positive and
appealing images to overcome mental and emotional problems.
Researchers proved that
if body is relaxed, mind will follow suit as a relaxed mind
produces significant physical benefits.
True
relaxation is a healing process focusing on calming mind and
body, turning your attention inward to control and resolve the
effects of stress. Relaxation is an acquired skill as it helps
prevent diseases and increases feelings of well-being if
practiced correctly.
Visualization
is the conscious use of your imagination for creating attractive
and positive images to heal or change aspects of your life. In
order to visualize you should be relaxed. If it is used in a
proper way, it helps to deepen the relaxation process overcoming
many of the mental and emotional problems that can lead to ill
health.
Relaxation
and visualization are two separate disciplines, often combined
to form a single therapy which is basically a technique to
combat stress. It is accurately a state of physical and mental
relief, where tension, fear and anxiety are released replacing
with calm and peaceful feelings and is actually a mental state
of being rather than an activity or form of inactivity.
