Yes,  Biofeedback is another great relaxation technique,
Biofeedback is a wonderful way to learn to control both your mind and your body.
There are many pieces of equipment to test how your body is reacting when you are
stressed and show you how it changes as you start to relax. Some of the equipment measures
the moister of your finger, some others take your blood pressure or your heart rate.
This helps you to have awareness and conscious control of your unconscious physiological
activates. By becoming aware you can do something to change your behavior.

Another technique of relaxation is hypnosis. There are many styles of hypnosis, but for
relaxation suggestive hypnosis works very well. Clinical hypnosis also relaxes you as
you work on stress related health problems.

Aromatherapy is a wonderful relaxation technique.  You can use essential oils in several
ways.  It can be used in a diffuser, to put the molecules into the air which you will
breath in, or put a few drops in a tub full of water for you to soak in.  You can even
put a few drops on a hankie and take a sniff every once in awhile.

Changing the colors you wear will also help you to relax. Blue is a calming color and
bright yellow is an uplifting color.   People today wear too much black, which is a
depressing color and it doesn’t help you to relax.

These are just some of the ways you can achieve relaxation. Everyone needs to relax to
lower blood pressure, reducing the chance of a stroke or heart attack and also reducing
the stress hormones that suppress the immune system.  Relaxation gives your immune system
time to recover and restore the balance of the body.

Use any one of these relaxation techniques everyday so you can to help your body, mind and
emotions to relax.  You will then attract a good life, feeling calmer, happier and healthier.
