If you have ever experienced stress or anxiety you need to try ASMR for yourself. ASMR is a relaxation technique that is becoming more and more popular. Like anything creative (movies, art, music) there may be some ASMR recordings and videos that are too weird for you, but just like the other examples noted, that doesn't mean you should give up on all ASMR. ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response and it is a wonderful relaxation tool because it is so easily accessible. Relaxing ASMR recordings or videos can be downloaded to your phone and you can listen with headphones for privacy. This gives you the ability to relax quickly anytime. A five minute break at work with your phone can help you face the rest of the day Click the video above to try ASMR if you are new to this type of relaxation or as a chance to relax right now. If this video does not relax you, don't give up. Many people have different sounds and voices that help them relax.

Welcome to change your mind meditation. I want you to find a comfortable place to sit
or lay down and if you feel comfortable close your eyes.Take a deep breath in and let your body
relax and as you exhale release any stress or tension from your shoulders.Take another deep breath and as you exhale
let your stomach me calm.Release any
butterflies in your stomach.Take another
final deep breath in; breathing in calm and peace as you exhale release any
worries and stress from your mind and your face relaxes.
Now I want you to picture that you have the whole afternoon
off to be pampered at a salon.You go in
and are greeted by the receptionist, and you have a seat in the waiting room
knowing you have this time just for you.There is nothing else you need to do, just allow the stylist to take
care of you and relax.You turn your
cell phone of and your stylist walks into the room to take you back to the
chair.The stylist asks you about what
you would like done with your hair. The
stylist take you back to the shampoo bowl and runs warm water through the spray
nozzle.She asks you if the water is
comfortable and it is warm and comforting.She washes your hair and uses some shampoo and gently but firmly rubs
the shampoo into your scalp and your hair.It is surprising how relaxing the shampoo is.The firm pressure on your scalp.She washed out the shampoo and adds
conditioner.At this time she does a
more thorough massage of your scalp, rubbing your temples in a circular motion;
using firm pressure all around your scalp.Releasing all of the tension that we keep in our scalp and allowing you
to relax and feel calm.She washes out
condition and wraps a towel around your head and escorts you back to the
chair.She begins brushing your hair as
she quietly talks to you about what she will be doing to your hair.She begins to cut; checking in with you
frequently making sure the hair cut is exactly how you would like it.She runs her fingers through your hair and a
comb through your hair and it is very calming and enjoyable.You release all the worries and tension of
the day.She styles your hair after the
haircut and shows you in the mirror how it looks.You are very pleased and it has been
wonderful to take this time to relax and focus on yourself.
I want you to remember that feeling of relaxation as you
drift off to sleep or return to the room by wiggling your fingers and toes. Remember meditation changes your mind.

Welcome to change your mind meditation. I want to find a comfortable place to sit or
lay down, and if you feel comfortable close your eyes.If you have been doing these meditations you
have probably started to build up your lung capacity so we are going to
increase the length of time of the breathing.So, we will still start off with an in breath to the count of four and
exhale to the count of eight; releasing any tension.Now take a deep breath in to the count of
five and exhale to the count of ten; let yourself relax.Take a deep breath and to the count of six and
exhale to the count of twelve if you can; deep exhale.
Now, even out your breathing.Feel that breath coming in through your feet and
as you exhale release any tension in your feet.Inhale into your legs and as you exhale release any tension in your
legs; in your calves and your thighs.Take a deep breath into your torso and let your stomach relax; release
any tension in your back.Take a deep
breath into your arms and as you exhale release any tension in your shoulders
and your hands and your arms.Take a
deep breath in to your head and your neck and as you exhale let your forehead
relax, your jaw relax and the back of your neck.Take one more deep breath into your whole
body and on this final exhale release any remaining tension you may hold in
your body.
Now we will begin our relaxing spa day.You have been looking forward to this as
your time to relax.You’ve gotten there
early so you can use the sauna and the steam room and the hot tub and there is
even a cold punge.You go and sit in the
steam room and inhale and exhale as you relax.You may decide to try the cold plunge and then run quickly to the hot
tub to warm back up. As you allow
yourself to relax you know you have all day.You can enjoy the spa and relax before you even get to your
treatment.You may try the cold plunge
again before heading to the sauna to dry off a bit and then go to the
relaxation room to wait for your treatment.You may be getting a facial, or a massage, or a scrub, maybe a manicure
and pedicure; whatever you desire.Knowing that after your treatment you’ll again get to use the steam room
and sauna and relax for as long as you would like.There is tea and coffee and snacks so you can
enjoy a long day at the spa.You are
already feeling so good and relaxed even before treatment and you are excited
about your upcoming treatment.

and toes, and when you feel ready you can open your eyes.Remember that feeling of relaxation and anticipation
of your upcoming spa treatment, and keep that feeling for the rest of the
day.Remember meditation changes your

This has been a busy massage week. We have had a lot of walk-ins and new referrals. Yesterday was fun because we had some walk-ins, and Angela (one of our hair stylists) and I did an exchange. So I got a fabulous hair cut and I gave her a massage late last night. We had a new massage therapist interested in a position at Thairapy which would be great. I could then have some massage exchanges. I had to pay for my massage today and that just isn't right. I received a half day of treatments at a spa. After three 10 hour days I needed a day to relax and take care of myself. I was feeling like I was getting sick yesterday but today I feel totally revived. I need to practice what I preach and make sure I take a spa day at least 3-4 times a year. I try to get a massage at least once a month but I usually don't receive other body treatments. Today I got a steam and a body scrub with my massage. It was fantastic to have my big plan for the day to read magazines while I wait for my next treatment. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday. Some one called the salon this week because they read this blog. That is awesome. The end of the month is also a tough time for scheduling because most of our evaluations are done each month so when people cancel their evaluations I have to try and reschedule before the end of the month. Only one more day in the month then things should calm down a bit.
