Journey on Relaxation

I found the Journey on Relaxation to be very interesting.  I think that everyone has stress in their lives and any technique to help with relaxation, I think is great!  I found this technique to be helpful because it discusses how to take off your shoes, find a comfortable position, and start "breathing" to start to relax your body.  Breathing is such a relaxing technique in itself.  Has anyone ever just had to take in a deep breath?  I know that I have; when I get stressed, taking a nice deep breath and telling my self, "just take a deep breath and calm down, relax."  It really does work.  I also found that the Journey on Relaxation is very interesting in the fact the mere "power of suggestion, can control our bodies to help decrease tension and increase relaxation."  I think this is true, because if you sit in a quite room and take deep breaths, and tell yourself that your body is relaxed, then usually it will be.
