This is an actual technique taught to police officers and martial artists to help eliminate stress and focus the mind. Very good for when you need to concentrate on something (like a test or a writing task) but don't have much time to relax yourself, because it can be done in just about any situation.
Lay down with your arms by your side.
Begin breathing as though you are pretending to be asleep. Breathe in deeply, hold it for 5 seconds, and breathe out, hold for 5 seconds, breathe in again and repeat the pattern.
Focus on your feet. Feel them relax, feel the tension leaving you. Then focus on your legs, your stomach, your arms, your hands, and face.... feel them releasing, and relaxing.
Once your entire body is relaxed, it will begin to feel heavy. Imagine yourself drifting towards sleep, floating downward like a pearl in a stream. Drift deeper and deeper. Begin counting to ten, slowly. Once you reach ten, you will be in a state of total relaxation and meditation.
When you are done with the relaxation exercise, count backwards from 10 to 1. When you reach one, you will be revitalized and full of energy.
