"Best Ways To Relax"

"Visualization relaxation"

If used properly, the human mind can be a potent tool. The mind is of primary focus
for visualization techniques, which help in relaxing the mind – which is powerful enough
to affect both the physical and the psychological aspects of the body. Critics of such
visualization techniques are many, but the key is to know how to successfully use the
technique to benefit from it. This technique might seem difficult to master, but if mastered
provides fantastic results.

In this article we’ll look at color therapy and guided imagery, two key elements of
visualization techniques for relaxation.

Color Therapy

Research has proven that color therapy affects the immune system and the nerves in a
positive way, keeping the mind healthy. In this technique varying colors are used to
affect the mind in different positive ways, helping relieve stress. If the blue color
associated with the serenity of the sea and the sky is used to help the mind relax, then
the more vibrant orange or yellow, signifying the sun is used for generating greater
energy levels.

Deep breathing exercises are often used alongside the color therapy, to make the
process doubly effective. Here’s how to go about it: First, make your body comfortable
and relaxed, then with eyes closed take in deep breaths and imagine the color blue filling
up your body. Visualize the color spreading from your feet upwards, covering your body
and then making your surroundings turn blue, till it would seem that you are floating on
the calm, blue sea. After 5-10 minutes start exhaling gently and visualize the blue streaming
out of your system. With each exhalation you shall feel more and more calm and relaxed.

Guided Imagery

This is yet another great way to relieve stress, and the process is quite similar to color
therapy, though not identical. While color imagery uses colors and their properties and
human emotions as the basis for affecting the mind positively, guided imagery uses the
power of visualization of a peaceful environment to revitalize or calm your mind.

Some people consider guided imagery to be a part of a meditation technique, but it can
be a brilliant method of relaxation too. It functions by drawing from your own experiences,
which are then recreated in your mind and transporting you back to that emotional state you
were in. The experiences can be anything from family vacations to something much simpler
but meaningful. With practice you will be able to visualize those happy moments regularly
when you need to calm yourself down or recharge yourself.

Start by being in a comfortable position. You can listen to soothing music like the chirping
of birds or a babbling brook to help you relax and stimulate your visualization. Close your
eyes and start imagining the scene, any scene that you feel most comfortable and happy in.
Visualize each bit in details - the feel of the grass or the color of the sand while emptying
every other thought.
With constant practice you’ll be able to master these techniques easily.
