This remarkably easy and relaxing meditation makes use of a little-known secret about the eyes. It’s idea for almost instant stress relief.

Allowing the eyes to rest in a soft downward gaze has an instant, automatic relaxing effect.

Relaxation meditation provides a great deal of stress reduction and can be used as a quick 2 minute relax and refresh break almost anywhere. You will also realize a heightened sense of alertness.

Sit comfortably with your spine reasonably straight.

Allow your eyes to rest comfortably downward, gazing softly, but not focused on anything.

Without closing your eyes completely, let your eyelids drop to a level that feels most comfortable.

Continue gazing downward… the act of gazing is your primary focus (rather than the area at which you are gazing). You may notice your breathing becoming more rhythmic.

It’s ok to let your attention drift a bit. If your eyes become very heavy, it’s ok to let them close. If you notice you’ve come out of your relaxed space, simply bring your attention back to your relaxed downward gaze.

Suffering from stress? It’s almost inevitable that our busy lives lead to stress. However, if stress becomes a problem to you mentally, physically or emotionally and begins to affect your life, you need to take steps to find stress relief. Hypnosis may provide a solution.

Hypnosis has long been used for many other purposes and has shown promise in helping people reduce stress.

The key is the effect of relaxation, which is part of the hypnosis process. Your hypnotherapist will encourage you to relax physically. Once the hypnosis session is complete and you come back to waking consciousness, you’ll retain that feeling of relaxation - and you’ll be completely stress-free.

While you’re under hypnosis, the therapist gives you suggestions. Because your conscious mind has relaxed, those suggestions will sink into your subconscious mind, and will affect your behavior. The therapist will not only give you suggestions to relax, but will also give you suggestions to help you to deal with whatever is causing stress in your life.

No time to visit a hypnotherapist? There are many CDs offering hypnosis for stress relief. Some of them are excellent. However, it’s important that you visit a hypnotherapist if you can. He or she will give you suggestions which are specific to you and your situation. This will make your hypnosis for stress relief much more effective.

Holidays are stressful for everyone, so it’s important to be aware of stress and take time out for stress relief.

Holiday Stress Relief Stress Management and Relief says: “‘If you are having a lot of stress at one period of time, break away, take a walk, take a breath, have a laugh, and enjoy the holidays with your family,’ she says.”

Here are some tips to take the stress out of preparing for the holidays:

* Shop online as much as you can. Not only will you save time when you shop for gifts and provisions online, you can also get your gifts wrapped by the vendor in many cases;

* Recruit family members to help out with the cooking and cleaning;

* Ensure that you get some “you” time every day - even a 20-minute nap can make you feel more relaxed;

* Exercise helps you to eliminate stress hormones, so get some exercise every day. The days on which you feel you have no time to exercise are the days you need exercise the most.
