Body psychotherapy - exercises
Let's look at some examples of exercises that will allow you to diagnose and change your state:
- Exercise "Arch" . Standing, feet shoulder width apart, socks slightly inward, fists rest on the lower back. Bend your knees as hard as possible, without tearing off the heels from the floor, bend back. Notice where the strongest voltage is. If you are relaxed, your legs will begin to tremble.
- Exercise "Removing the clamp" . Take the most uncomfortable position: press your chin against your collarbone; look around without turning the body; lift your shoulders up. You need to focus on the muscle clamp, realize it, and then remove it, not changing the posture, using only the willpower.
These methods of therapy allow you to provide psychological help, relaxation, overcoming of internal obstacles.
