What is guided relaxation?

The benefits of meditation, mindfulness and yoga are well known, but there is another practice which can be just as effective at creating calm – guided relaxation

Guided relaxation is a form of yoga which involves coming into a position of supported rest, which automatically promotes the relaxation response. Gradually awareness shifts from the external to the internal world, muscle tension begins to release, the breath begins to slow and lengthen invoking a sense of stillness and peace in the mind, culminating in an environment where healing and deep rest can occur. 

This book is a complete guide to practising guided relaxation for everyone from seasoned yoga teachers to beginners. It includes:

  • Positions for your practice
  • Benefits of relaxation 
  • How to get the most from your practice
  • A beautiful choice of more than 30 scripted relaxations  
  • Relaxations include chakras, the seasons, elements of nature and positive affirmations and so many more… 

Compiled by senior Yoga teacher and writer: Katie Brown – this book is a treat for your mind, body and spirit

Feeling very lucky to have your book in my yoga library!

I have been using my wonderful new book in class this week.

It’s so easy to read, well set out and what I’ve been looking for! Feeling very lucky to have your book in my yoga library.

Relaxation techniques and practices are important skills to learn for a more easeful and peaceful life.

There seems to be no stone unturned in Katies new book Guided Relaxation: Your essential guide to creating calm

Not only is this a book to help guide a novice in useful techniques to discover more, it is also a great resource to provide inspiration to other Yoga Teachers. This book is for the experienced, well versed in the approaches of Guided Relaxation or the beginner who is making that first enquiry.

Easy to read and follow: Chapters that provide the background details with minimal Jargon so no one needs to feel excluded from learning how to guide themselves or others into and out of the relaxed state.

Topics included such as simple breathing techniques, suggested equipment, postures and props and the importance of creating the best possible environment for practice is emphasised.

The value of ‘Leading- in’ with  Centering and grounding practices are included and chapters to follow that provide various themed scripts.

Body scans, The Chakras, Ayurvedic elements, The seasons, Affirmations and Healing and scripts especially for Children.  All content and concepts are explained, easy to read and connect with.

There is just the right amount of background detail to motivate the user to engage with the information without feeling overwhelmed. Katie has managed to connect with the reader and this makes her book one of the best available on this topic.

The Illustrations by Ruth Wellman are beautifully drawn and compliment the work so well. I enjoyed moving away from a photo and into the artistry on the page.

This is a beautiful book and one to include in your collection.

They are so beautifully written that simply reading them can induce a more relaxed state

We know that mindfulness is one of the most powerful treatments for moderate and mild anxiety and depression, and Katie’s exercises offer up some beautiful and easy-to-follow yogic practices to assist in creating wellbeing. Indeed they are so beautifully written that simply reading them can induce a more relaxed state. Treating it like a recipe book, I recommend diving in at random to a practice and enjoy – either practicing it yourself or assisting others.
