Legs on chair whilst lying = Relaxation

[Ulax]

Annoyingly this simple technique gave me more relaxation in 20 seconds than any meditation technique has ever done 😑.

Anyone know any other techniques like this please?

Dead hangs or inversion tables are relaxing  ... for people with sciatica, dead hangs are a life saver. Our bodies have not evolved that much beyond apes to where they are perfect, and the weak spot is the lower back, as we used to not really walk like we do now, but more like a monkey.. even millions of years later our lower backs haven't totally adapted to this, and the discs tend to bulge and press on the nerves as we age.

This was mitigated during our evolution by humans still climbing and hanging from things, which decompressed the spine... so find a bar and hang from it.  Don't overdo it, or you can then get golfer's elbow as a result. Ask me how I know. Weak bodies. Have to work all the muscles fairly evenly because any weak points will then result in chronic issues. 

 

Oh one more idea... you can try pouring 3% hydrogen peroxide (brown bottles) in your ears. I find that relaxing.

Lying on the floor with your legs on the bed?

[Rigel]

I love the floor. It’s crazy how a flat surface on the ground can be such a powerful recovery tool. I spend tons of time lying on & moving close to the floor. Also sitting in tons of different positions. I work on the floor when I am not standing.
