Читать книгу Mia’s World: An Extraordinary Gift. An Unforgettable Journey - Mia Dolan, Mia Dolan - Страница 85

‘You haven’t got to be in a state of meditation, but you do have to be comfortable. If your body is uncomfortable in any way, it calls your attention away. Over the years, I have tried many different ways to relax. For me, the important thing is that relaxation is instant – like changing the station on a radio. If I asked you to clench a muscle, you could do it easily – I believe it is just as easy to let it go.’

‘The best and quickest way I’ve found – and the one I use before every reading – is the “sigh and drop” routine. Sit comfortably and put your hands in a relaxed position – it doesn’t matter where you place them as long as they are not tight or clenched.’

‘Lots of people say focus on your breath and breathe deeply, but I find one big sigh is enough. Take a deep breath in and hold it for a moment. Then, as you sigh and the air comes out of your lungs, let everything – all the muscles in your body – drop. Shoulders, back, hips, stomach, chest, thighs. Let them all go.’

‘Suddenly you will be able to feel the weight of your body in the chair. You have just brought yourself back to you.’
