Basic exercises for deep relaxation

Training type: Relaxation Training
Element: Water
Chakra: Heart Chakra Exercises
Subtle body: Emotional body

Requirements

Dreamwaver and Letting go are two standing exercises for the whole body. They are comfortable, and everybody can do them.

Outcome physical

These two practices are deep relaxation techniques. Through smooth movements, the body softens on a deep level and releases all the stored tension. Especially the upper body holds a lot of strain, through emotional stress, like arguments, anxiety or, too much workload. Especially the heart chakra exercises soften this tension in the body and soul.

Outcome spiritual

These two exercises harmonize the emotional body, which is part of your aura. Once you let go of all pressure, you will feel a deep emotional relief. Through the soft movements, your body will calm down and connect to your soul on a profound and pressure-free level.
