PMR often will put me to sleep and that's a good thing. Haven't heard of the Alexander Relaxation Technique. Glad it helps you.It's a good way of relaxing!! I start that routine sometimes, then forget about it again until I'm reminded ..
I do have to do the Alexander relaxation technique for my back before I get up in the morning tho'.. otherwise I wouldn't be able to get out of bed!!
I never get on the floor when I do it. I lie in bed or on the couch. You can modify anything it says on there @twinkleswell it seemed like a good excersize ruthanne till you said to lay on the floor if i got down there i would never be able to get back up
I have a tape of it and it's a man's voice, too. I have it memorized in my head so I just do it by heart now.I have a CD which talks you through this. Some people say that they find a man's voice more relaxing than a womans, but this works for me.
