Relaxation Training Brighton

Need to learn how to relax? Relaxation training is extremely rewarding. I have had students not only from Brighton but from across the UK.

What is relaxation training?

Autogenic training
AT is a method of learning to control voluntary muscles and the body’s processes using deep relaxation exercises. Dr Johannes Schultz first developed the basic concepts of autogenics in the late 1920s. He noticed that patients under hypnosis experienced heaviness in the limbs and a general body warmth. They became relaxed and “passively aware”. Shultz devised a system of relaxation exercises that, once taught, could enable anyone to enter this state of mind and reap the benefits of hypnosis. The secret of autogenics is that the more you practice the better you become and the more “automatic” it is. The basics of AT is learned over a period of several weeks.

Progressive muscular relaxation
One of the most simple and easily learned techniques for relaxation is Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR), a widely-used procedure today that was originally developed by Jacobson in 1939. The PMR procedure teaches you to relax your muscles through a two-step process. First you deliberately apply tension to certain muscle groups, and then you stop the tension and turn your attention to noticing how the muscles relax as the tension flows away. Through repetitive practice you quickly learn to recognize and distinguish the associated feelings of a tensed muscle and a completely relaxed muscle. With this simple knowledge, you can then induce physical muscular relaxation at the first signs of the tension that accompanies anxiety. And with physical relaxation comes mental calmness in any situation. PMR is fairly quick to learn.

Breathing techniques
Deep breathing a core component of everything from the "take ten deep breaths" approach to calming someone down, right through to yoga relaxation and Zen meditation. It works well in conjunction with other relaxation techniques such as Progressive Muscular Relaxation, relaxation imagery and meditation to reduce stress.

When we are born, we breathe properly from our stomach and rib cage. As we get older, we learn to breathe in a more stressful way e.g. from the chest – we shallow breathe. Learning to breath properly is a professional stress management technique which many performers use. This way of breathing helps us to relax the body and mind and also improves the posture and voice and helps to build self confidence.

Biofeedback
A non-invasive electronic process for monitoring a body function (such as breathing, heart rate or blood pressure) and altering the function through relaxation or imagery.
