Progressive Muscle Relaxation

[@JerriLynn-z1r]

Hello and thank you! I have been practicing progressive relaxation since 1974, learned from Dick Sutphen's book on self-hypnosis. That practice does not use the tense-then-relax technique so I had never tried it. I am currently in palliative care on the journey to hospice care and I would like to thank you for this much needed experience and practice. I have always taken fairly good care of and enjoyed the capabilities of my body until experiencing serious heart problems beginning a few years ago. Since then my body has ranged from tense and uncomfortable to constant pain as I journey my way through this experience. Your Progressive Relaxation video left me feeling more relaxed and comfortable than I have since January 2019. Despite the health challenges, I maintain my exercise, yoga and meditation practices as much as the challenges to my body allow. This video and practice will make that much more comfortable and help me maintain the joy that brings to my life. Thank you for easing this journey for me.

Ok. I've been really stressed due to family matters and I haven't been able to sleep comfortably. I swear on my life, I only got up to 6 minutes in and I already feel so relaxed. I'm gonna show anyone suffering with insomnia this.

@@EpworthHealthCareAU I have pneumonia so I can't breathe deep or I start coughing so what do you recommend?

[@EpworthHealthCareAU]

Hi Lisa, due to your pneumonia you should speak to your doctor to determine if this is safe for you given you currently can't take deep breaths without coughing.
