RELAXATION Relaxation means different things to different people and is taught by many different methods. Most techniques of relaxation consist of a physical as well as a mental component. Muscle is the only tissue in the body that contracts, thus, from a true physiological standpoint: relaxation is the physical ability to relax muscle tissue. When you let muscle soften, lengthen and become still, you are relaxing. “Letting go” is a description of relaxing muscles. Relaxation is a learning process that requires continuous practice and practical application. We learn new muscle habits by practicing over and over until relaxing muscles becomes automatic. “Letting go” becomes natural following the normal use of muscle during our daily activities. The tight, hard areas of our muscles will begin to feel more relaxed and we will gradually learn to use only those muscles that are necessary to perform any given task.
