wow this totally made me fall asleep halfway through my essay and I didnt even realize.
any other fit for lifers???
Take a shot every time he says breathe
I disagree with the comment that it should be a female voice. It is very hard to find a male voice that is relaxing and not fake, this is a very good voice.
Thank you for posting this! I just learned about PMR in my models of psychotherapy class. This is very helpful for when stressed out!
Good one
Does this help with anxiety?
MEDITATION OF THE WEEK – PROGRESSIVE MUSCLE RELAXATION
This meditation will assist with quieting the mind. This is done by focusing on the breath and an image/objective or sound (mantra). This process allows the mind to achieve clarity and awareness.
TO BEGIN – Find a comfortable and quiet space where you won’t be interrupted for at least 10 minutes. If possible, dim the lights, close the door and turn off your phone.
REMEMBER, trying anything new takes time and patience. So, if your mind wanders and you can’t focus that is okay. Be kind to yourself and try again later or another day.
Let us know how you enjoyed the meditation. We appreciate feedback.
Nice boice
Love your music, Cynthia 🙂
Thanks so much it made me so relaxed
I have chronic paniac disorder I feel like I’m dying daily 😓😓😫😫😫☹️☹️
Thank you.
His constant swallowing and swishing of spit was annoying but video was helpful a little in relaxing just not detailed enough no tensing and relaxing either
This didn’t do anything for me.
Short, but deeply relaxing. Love the voice.
This is the meditation that i guess somehow works on me on more like noticing things so is there like similar things to do like this progressive types of relaxation ?
He really just made us breathe manually but i ain’t even mad
Its a good video & meditation so thankyou. However for Progressive Muscle Relaxation it’s not simply a meditation or thought process but also a tightening of the muscles involved, before a full relaxation, letting go of the tension.
It’s good but I prefer a guided meditation without music. The music is OK but as a musician I can’t concentrate on the instructions because I’m listening to the music.
This is amazing I have an exam tomorrow and I did this before going to sleep now my entire body feels so light and weightless thank you so much
you are great man
It would sound better if it was a female voice
This was great. It elaxed me but I farted the whole way thru…..must have relaxed my insides! Thanks though, I do this each night before sleep. You have a nice voice. 😀
Wonderful, refreshing
Reduce playback speed
Very helpful video! Thanks.
Thanks for the gentle, mellow way you present this. It seems that I can’t wait to get into bed each night to start the Progressive Muscle Relaxation. But just in case I’m not asleep at the end of the 10 minutes, I wish that the flute continued playing longer during the time I’m practicing deep breathing to fall asleep. My sleep neurology psychiatrist introduced me to the sight as an assignment.
Thanks for all positive feedback about our mediations. We are glad they are helping so many people relax and quite their minds. Learn more about meditation by visiting us at http://unh.me/viwnR
Ah yes breathing equals instant fix on my 30% grade in chemistry stress free now!!!!1!1!
Yup, that worked…so thank you. I
Your voice is steady & clear, I found it helpful in relaxing.
Too fast; not detailed enough; flute too loud in relation to voice, in my opinion.
Thank u!!!
THIS IS NOT PROGRESSIVE MUSCLE RELAXATION. Is it called a Body Scan? But it can be good in it’s own right and helpful.
A very useful and effective technique, thank you ♥
Thank you!
i want to live in that picture
Thank you for all the help you have given me in relaxing my muscles I find that Realtor good I have trued to 5 times and it has worked every time
This isn’t progressive muscle relaxation, per se, which involves systematically tensing and releasing muscles.
This feels great!
I have anxiety and depression issues and this worked wonders thanks!!!!
WHAT THE HECK IS A BUTTOX
Helped me with a panic attack! Thanks!
I found this very helpful, but I have a question. For the questions that you asked before, if the answer was no, and you start to feel guilt about it. How would you suggest to think about this? Also, if you examine your breath and it is not full without you altering it, how do you suggest to deal with that? I’m new to this, sorry if this is supposed to be common sense.
I’m currently recovering from surgery and have anxiety struggles normally. Found this very helpful the past 2 nights. While my symptoms remain i have become a lot calmer again. Will definitely be keeping up with this for a week or two more and will re-visit then after as needed. 🤗
uncomfortably fast pace. one breath per body part?
boringggggggg…………..😣😣😣😣😣
I have anxiety and it sucks!!!! This really helped! Thank you SO much.

Helps me sleep every night..
Only relaxing that works for me!!
