Session 2

Read me text below (audio only):

Welcome to session two – the Relaxation Response!

• The goals of this session are to:
  • continue developing a consistent RR practice
  • explore different ways to elicit the RR
  • learn about how sleep, emotions, and physical sensations are related to stress and resiliency
  • We will also learn to RR skills, including a body awareness exercise and “mini” RR exercises.
  • We discuss the importance of sleep, and our brains’ automatic tendency to focus on negative emotions and physical sensations.

We will also start the session with a review of last week. To problem solve any barriers to practicing your goal setting, RR, or gratitude and appreciation, view the video ____ for clear ways to improve your practice.
