The Importance of Relaxation

by Phil Bate PhD

Today almost everybody knows that stress is

a basic part of any disease mental or physical.  But, not everybody

knows how to relieve such stress.  There are hundreds of nutritional

items that can help, and more hundreds of exercise or relaxation ideas

that can also help. 

For many years in my practice, I almost

routinely did a " Relaxation Technique " on every patient I saw.  Some

were helped immediately, and others were helped after they used it for a

time. 

The Bate Relaxation Technique is pretty simple.  It

consists of a pretty " standard " hypnotic induction to get the subject

into a state of relaxed body, and concentrated mind, then having the

subject put that " feeling " of concentration and relaxation into his/her

mind like a photograph.  Then, whenever they want or need to relax, they

simply count to 3 and return that " feeling " of concentration and

relaxation over their body and mind. 

Then, I had the subject

stand up, take a deep breath and count to 3 as they exhaled.  Most

people dropped their shoulders about 2 inches or so.  Some felt it in

their stomach. 

Now, comes the " kicker " .  I then instructed them

to co this counting to 3 at least 10-20 times every day for at least a

week, and feel the relaxation and concentration deepen as they practiced

it.  With this " practice " it seems that virtually everybody develops a

" conditioned reflex " . not unlike Pavlov's dog.

I've been amazed

for well over 30 years at how simple this is, yet how very powerful it

can be to reduce stress.  I use whenever I drive more than a few miles. 

My late wife and I used it on long trips in the car.  Driving is very

stressful, and if you simply count to 3 every 10-30 minutes, you'll be

surprised at how much tension you'll relieve, and how much farther you

can drive.  In my 80's, I've driven for 16 hours or more in a day. For free audio of the Bate Relaxation Technique go to:http://drbate.com/content/relax.mp3
