The last three exercises have been taken from the For STRESS information and relate specifically to Track 3.



Track 1 & 2 (Exercise from For FATIGUE)

Posture: sitting or lying down with headphones.

Try to breathe slowly and deeply. Allow your diaphragm to relax so that the air can enter more easily into the abdomen first, then expand the sides of your body, your entire back and your chest.

Allow yourself to enter the flow of the music, going where it takes you. Allow thoughts to come and go, and sensations to pass through your body. Let go as completely as you can into the music. If you fall asleep, that’s fine.

Eventually, what normally happens with this exercise is that your body will relax and your mind will be calm, clear and alert.

Use

For entrainment purposes play it once or twice a day until your body is relaxed and your mind is calm and alert. Then, use it as needed.




Track 1 & 2 (Exercise from For FATIGUE)

Posture: lying on your back.

Start listening with your eyes closed. Breathe for a few moments as in Exercise 1. When you feel it, begin to slowly change your position to a fetal position, lying on your side with knees brought up to your chest and your head curled downward towards your knees and arms wrapped around your knees.

Do this very slowly, inch by inch, stopping after each small shift. This could take 10 to 15 minutes. When you arrive at the fetal position, stay there, assuming it is comfortable, until the music ends.

As you are making the movement be aware of the music washing through you and any feelings that might occur.

Take as long as you need to uncurl.

Variation

This exercise can be done with a partner or friend who actually moves your body very slowly into the fetal position. You remain completely passive, without resistance. Allow the other person to move you.

This exercise is for working issues around nurturing.

Use

3 to 4 times a week until you achieve the results you are looking for. In this case, keeping a journal about your feelings and images from this exercise would be helpful.




Track 3 (Exercise from For Stress)

Posture: seated.

Listen with your eyes open. When ready, put an index finger directly in front of you at arm’s length. Focus on it and follow it without turning your head as you move it very slowly to the right to a point just outside your field of vision. Without stopping, very slowly bring it back to your starting point in front of you and keep moving it to the left to a point just outside your vision on the left, then bring it back to center again.

If your arms get tired at any time, change hands. When you get back to the starting point, without stopping move your finger straight up until it is just out of sight. Return your finger to centre and move it downward just out of sight, then bring it back to centre.

Repeat this four pointed movement, maintaining a slow speed without moving any part of your body except your finger and your eyes. If your eyes become tired, close them, but try to continue the movement of your finger. Open them again when they are rested.

When the music stops, take a moment to notice any sensations or feelings.




Track 3 (Exercise from For Stress)

Posture: seated with writing materials.

Close your eyes for a moment and, as much as possible, enter into the flow of the music. Then open your eyes and allow yourself to write what comes. This could be in the form of single words, phrases, adjectives, feelings.

The focus of this exercise is to express on paper the obsessive thoughts. If you run out of things to write before the music ends, close your eyes again and relax into the music.

Do this as often as needed until desired results are achieved. Keep a record of what you wrote each time you do the exercise.

After 3-4 repetitions, you can review what you wrote and note any differences or changes.




Track 3 (Exercise from For Stress)

Sit at a comfortable height table or other surface suitable for drawing with drawing materials.

Start the music, taking a moment to centre yourself. Breathe slowly and deeply. Then try and feel the music with your whole body. Allow your diaphragm to relax so that the air can enter more easily into the abdomen first, then expand the sides of your body, your entire back and your chest.

Choose a color to start drawing with and draw what you feel. This may be doodles, random shapes, faces, objects etc. if you want to change colors, do so. Avoid judging what comes out. It is not important to draw something recognizable. Allow yourself to spontaneously express what you are feeling as you are listening to the music. Continue to draw until the music stops.

Save your drawings so that you can review them together, their themes may lend added insights.
