The subject of relaxation is a big topic and a very important part of the Happy Venn Diagram. What's more, true relaxation not only makes you feel good, increases self esteem, but it also puts your manifestation power on after burners.

This may sound like a paradox, almost a contradiction in terms. Have you not been told that you need to be pro-active in order to achieve? Action is the thing that gets you what you desire.

Sure, I cannot and will not argue this essential part of making dreams reality.

However, if you know the Bhagavad Gita, you will know that action and non-action are valued equally by Krishna in his conversation with Arjuna.

Knowing when to take action and when to stay away is one of life's secrets. It requires a balance of mind, body and environment to facilitate optimum timing free from distraction.

Most of us have a somewhat flawed idea about relaxation. Relaxation is not about sleeping excessively, going on holiday, or seeking out so called relaxing entertainment, like sitting in front of the box and be brainwashed, or some other form of mental or physical intoxication. These activities only distract you from a problem you may have and delude you into thinking that you are relaxing. Alcohol and television slow down your mind, which means you enter a less frenzied state for a while, however true relaxation is very different.

With practice you can enter a state of true relaxation at will, in seconds. Pre-requisites are a mind free from guilt and fear. Both, guilt and fear are the biggest enemies of progress and success. They stop you from loving yourself and your life.
If you do not love yourself, how can you possibly love another person, your job, or your life? My many books and audios all help you to achieve this desirable state of a mind free from guilt and fear. Please check out the personality game. It really works wonders in getting to know and accept the real you, in an easy and playful way.

Relaxation is about entering a state of mild alpha and maintaining it. Breathing exercises are a great way to practice cognitive relaxation. Again, you will find different techniques, explained in all my books. Check out the free downloads and check the index to see which is of most interest to you.

Relaxation is also about becoming aware of your body and your mind and consciously doing those things that bring about balance. When you learn to become truly relaxed, you will conserve energy. You will tire less easily and increase your productivity in due  course. With EFT and Micro EFT you can release tension very quickly. Use Micro EFT as a quick relaxation technique several times throughout the day to induce moments of relaxation and gruadually maintain them for longer periods. Practice meditation. The guided problem solving meditation audio is a great way to experience relaxation and solve your problems too.

In closing, let me just say this. Learn to relax, it will increase your conscious awareness. You need to expand conscious awareness of yourself and your world in order to grow and manifest your goals easier and faster. Relaxation is expansive, in the true meaning of the word. Tension contracts. This is true for your body, as well as your brain.
