"Instant relaxation" will enable
you to restore your energy anywhere and
at any time, in only a few minutes.
To do this, settle yourself in a comfortable
position, sitting or lying down. Close your eyes. Carry out an isometric
contraction of all your muscles and then breathe deeply.
With each exhalation let your tiredness,
worries and tensions flow out through your heels into the depths of the earth.
Pause at the end of each exhalation, before
allowing the air to flow back into your lungs bringing tranquillity, peace and
silence.
During the pause after each inhalation
“feel” the space within your whole body.
Then visualise yourself in an “ideal
relaxing environment" (by the sea, a river, spring, forest, mountain,
island, cave, nest, etc.) where you are completely relaxed. Here are a few
examples of scenes that you could visualise: a babbling brook, fluffy clouds in
a blue sky, waves breaking on the shore, a symphony concert, a garden full of
sweetly scented flowers, the different colours of a rose garden, tropical fish
in an aquarium, etc.
In this place, use the energy of the colours
to restore your energy. For example, imagine a magnificent rainbow: breathe
in the colour – as if the air you were breathing was coloured – which
corresponds to your needs of the moment (welcome what flows into you by
trusting your intuition) and allow it to spread through your body.
Then, as you breathe out, let it flow out through your heels. Return to
everyday reality by stretching voluptuously.
This whole relaxation cycle can be completed
in only a few minutes, and enables you to recharge your batteries with physical
and mental energy.
All these various exercises are based on the
secret techniques of Yoga, carefully developed by Indian Masters. They were
specially designed for the needs of disciples wanting to follow the teachings
of spiritual initiation. These pupils, who also worked hard to earn their
living, usually had very little money, time and space to devote to these
teachings.
