This is from Eckhart's book A New Earth. He's also the author of The Power of Now. Really good author.
No problem! Sometimes it's good to take a few minutes for yourself to do simple stuff like this yknow
Grounding Techniques for Your Throat
Stretch your neck
-
Tilt the head forward and hold for 10 seconds. Raise it back to the center.
-
Roll the head to one side and hold for 10 seconds. Bring it back to the center and repeat on the opposite side.
-
Shrug the shoulders so that they almost touch the ears. Hold for a few seconds, then relax. Repeat this 5 times.
Relieving Muscle Tension
-
Bring awareness to the breath. If hyperventilating, try exhaling (like blowing out a candle) to slow things down.
-
Next, place a hand on your belly and relax the shoulders. Breathe into the belly, fully inflating the lungs with air. Notice the hand rising as your belly expands.
-
Exhale fully, allowing your belly to relax again. Notice the hand moving inward.
-
Keep breathing this way, feeling the hand rising and falling with each breath.
-
If helpful, make a soft “sss” sound while exhaling.
That's pretty cool actually. I don't listen to this person but I'll have to check it out.
Oh does he mention the author in a song or something?
The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
I highly recommend this book. I've read it quite a few times...has anyone else read this book?
Small summary of the book: Eckhart Tolle explores presence, thinking, and spirituality to help you understand what presence means, how thinking and non-acceptance drive a lot of human pain, and how to live a life that reduces suffering.
