I mean I know the whole hot bath and candles thing but I need ways to completely just forget about everything and go into deep relaxation mode, I mean in home ways. I could use a massage but what types of oils and stuff should my partner use? Dim lighting? I have no idea I mean I know it is out there but I just need help finding it! Anything helps, tell me how you "get away from the world" and go into deep relaxation! I just need to get away mentally and physically Thanks
Hi,
It sounds like you may need some alternative relaxation methods like meditation and even astral travel. You may be interested in checking out this site: http://www.relaxation-at-home.com. I use some of these techniques when I can’t sleep like the lavender relaxation kit and some of the breathing techniques really work.
If you’re open minded, you may even want to try the EFT and astral travel techniques (some people may think it’s too out there….) but I’ve tried on occasion and was pleasantly surprised.

What is the difference in a deep tissue and a relaxation massage?(other than the $5)
Deep tissue is the only way to get relief. A relaxation massage will give you temporary relief to a degree, but lasting deep relief, deep tissue is the only way.
By applying add’l pressure the muscles are treated to release toxins that are in the muscles. The toxins are actually causing most of the soreness. After being released, you need to drink plenty of water (I try to drink 48 oz of water after a massage. and the next day you may be a little sore from the treatment, but still less than the soreness you had before. After the first day (if you drank your water) you will continue to be relaxed and won’t have the soreness in the muscles.
If you keep having massages regularly, you won’t be sore after a massage, it will be easier on your therapist and you will be feeling great everyday.
Does anyone have any ideas about great books on relaxation, calm uplifting ways of thinking, natural ways to relax, on how and why to be understanding of others, ways of getting what you want, ways of becoming calm after being raised in a violent or dysfunctional home??
Or any other books you suggest?
Find a good tai chi teacher and practice every day. Properly taught it is very calming and relaxing. QiGong (or ChiKung) is also very effective but teachers are harder to find. With a bit of luck you can find a tai chi teacher who does both. Not a good idea to try to learn either from a book though.
"Breathe better feel better " by Howard Kent ISBN 1 85076 948 6 is a helpful book and contains lots of useful exercises though it may be out of print – try Amazon.
Discovering why the people in your home became violent or dysfunctional may help understanding and forgiveness, which is a very good start.

I’m a senior in college, and I’m trying to graduate a year early. The stress to pass all my classes this semester is really getting to me and I am having a hard time handling it, are there any really good relaxation techniques anyone has?
Try meditation. It can help to quiet and calm you down and make you more relaxed. Over time, you will also build up concentration power and deepen understanding about yourself.
But, meditation is not a quick-fix solution. To reap its benefits, you need to do it everyday consistently. Having said that, don’t give yourself undue pressure. 15 mins a day is all you need. Enjoy it, don’t see it as a chore. I definitely encouraged you to try it.
Here’s a simple breathing meditation you can try to help you relax:
1. Sit down in a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed for 15 minutes or longer. Sit on a cushion cross legged, or on a chair. Just make yourself comfortable (but not so comfortable that you fall asleep). If it’s cold, wrap a thin blanket around you.
2. Close your eyes and start by taking a few slow, deep breaths. Don’t force yourself to breathe deeply. Let it come naturally. The first few tries are normally shallow but as you continue, allow more air to fill your lungs naturally each time. Gradually, your breaths will become deep and slow. Take as long as you need.
3. Once you are breathing deeply, you’ll feel more relaxed. That’s a good sign. Focus your attention on your breaths. If you find your attention straying to other things in your mind, just gently bring it back to your breaths. It happens often, even to experienced meditators. So no need to beat yourself up. What’s important is to realize it and bring your attention back.
4. Take as long as you feel like it. Beginners usually have trouble sitting for long. It’s perfectly okay. As you meditate more, you’ll find it easier to sit for longer period. Don’t give yourself undue pressure to complete a certain time as it’ll only make meditation another thing on your to-do list. Keep it as a light, fun and intimate moment to spend knowing yourself better.
5. When you are done, just open your eyes gently. Stand up and do a little stretch and bring your increased awareness into your daily activities.

Have fun meditating! Learn to see your current situation in the right perspective. The problems or setbacks you face now will most likely be inconsequential in 10 or even 5 years from now.
All the best!
If you had a room in your house designated your relaxation room, what would you have in it?
A good sound system and my favorite music, for starters. Something to exercise with, but not in a heavy way (perhaps an exercise ball – something which takes exertion to do well, but which is FUN also).
A yoga/tai-chi/exercise mat… NOT a chair because chairs are everywhere already.
If i could afford it and had the space, a little Zen garden with running water and sand to make patterns in, with a few rocks to move around as well.
A few books i’ve wanted to read for a long time, but never seemed to get around to actually picking them up.

I am having trouble deciding myself, but I first want to go with "hard work" for without it relaxation would not be rewarding.
we all toil our whole life just to find
that the end of one row
is just the beginning of another…
but between the end of rows and beginnings
it helps once in awhile to just take a moment
to take a good look around and count your blessings
then the rows don’t look so long
