Hello! In this video, I guide you through a progressive muscle relaxation exercise - whispered ASMR style. As we go through each muscle group, I include some triggers to help create a cozy soundscape. You might notice very distant thunder throughout the video - summer storms are here and the louder ones tend to break through my "sound-proof" studio, but I hope it's not overly distracting ♡ If you want to skip my intro/explanation on how PMR works, you can jump to 4:41! This technique has a ton of research behind it and really works like a charm for me when I feel too hyper/stressed/tense before bed. My therapist also once told me that if you practice doing PMR (and moving from 20 min exercises to 40 min/1 hour) you'll eventually be able to relax on command before bed or in stressful situations - which is why it's so important to pay attention to the difference between a tense state and relaxed state for each muscle ♡ Here's a study I used to help write my script! (and the wikipedia article haha) https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8272667/ Sorry my posting has been spotty this month - I'll have one more before July ends and am hoping that August is less chaotic for me!
