Conscious Relaxation
Physiologically, the body responds to relaxation. And in particular, to conscious relaxation - when we spend a period of time totally tuned in to and conscious of the comfort of the body, as we allow it rest, and allow the breath settle to a natural rhythm.
Following conscious (deep) relaxation the internal rhythms of the body are reset, and an internal physiological environment is created that is conducive to a healthy expression of the natural energies within our cells and tissues.
When the relaxation is practiced over a number of days, reserves - physical and emotional - are restored. The body is stronger, thoughts are clearer, emotions in perspective.
The effects are not dissimilar from the benefits expected from a traditional spiritual retreat.
