Definitions of some Stress Management Techniques:
Guided imagery is a technique similar to directed daydreaming. It uses your imagination in a specific manner to help the mind and/or body heal, stay healthy, or perform as needed. It engages not only the visual sense but all of the other senses to create a rich experience designed to enhance your body’s innate ability to help and heal itself. Guided imagery has been used to prepare for medical procedures and treatments such as surgery or chemotherapy, reduce the effects of certain illnesses, improve outcomes from debilitating conditions, or to improve a feeling of general wellness and reduce stress.
Meditation involves concentrating on something simple—the breath, for example—to take attention away from the random thought activity that occupies the mind. Meditation allows people to slow the high speed movies that run through their heads and put them in touch with the quiet that is so often craved. A simple meditation may involve the following technique:
- Sit in a comfortable position, either in a chair or on the floor, with your back and head straight.
- Warm up with a couple of deep, cleansing breaths.
- Close your eyes and breathe through your nose.
- Focus on your breath—slowly breathing in and out. If your mind wanders (which will likely happen), just bring your attention back to the breath.
- Start with a 5-10 minute meditation and work up to 15-20 minutes or more.
Studies show that regular meditation is great therapy for those recovering from surgery or an emotional trauma. Meditation has also been shown to relax the tension of the gross and subtle muscles and the autonomic nervous system and provide freedom from mental stress.
