The most effective relaxation technique for me is one i have created after trying many others and finding that either they do not work for me (for some reason) or do not work as well as i'd like, that is, something doesn't feel quite right. This is of course after a considerable number of experiment with the techniques.
Thus the method I use for relaxation for deep sleeping, lucid dreaming etc (corpse position) or prior to meditation, astral projection etc (lotus position) is this:
Focus on each part of your body and will, that is, tell it to relax.
Start anywhere you want, i start with the digits on my left hand and work my way up my arm to my shoulder blade then go down to my right hand digits and up, then left foot digits and up etc etc.
and repeat until ready to sleep, meditate or whatever.
This technique nevers fails me, and since the very first time i can physically feel the sensations in the part i'm focussed on, which may seem trivial but to me it was a massive surprise as i'd never experienced that before with any other technique.
This really cemented into my mind the fact the thoughts create and effect you physical body, sometimes instantly.
This naturally led to furter experiments with what i could make my body do and how i could effect my body with my thoughts.
so yeah, that's my favourite techinque, i do it alot.
Everything is Energy, and Thinking is the Link
in the morning as I come out of deep sleep I like to do the 'little-pranayama' which holds me in the border region between awake and asleep (theta brain-wave pattern).
In the evenings I tend to use alcohol, tobacco and cannabis with pranayama.
The two techniques open different doorways into the subconscious mind for me.
