Progressive relaxation is a great way to learn how to release your muscles more deeply. Sometimes it helps to exaggerate your tight places, so that you can identify them and then let them go. This is a great practice to help you wind down for sleep, or whenever you need to ground yourself.
We end with the Serenity Prayer, in order to let go of hyper-vigilance on a deeper level.
