The Jacobson relaxation technique for a moment of deep relaxation
There is no shortage of relaxation techniques these days: breathing, meditation, cardiac coherence, yoga… But have you ever come across the Jacobson relaxation technique? This method of muscle relaxation, developed a century ago, is based on a simple yet incredibly effective principle: tensing and then relaxing your muscles to release tension. Little by little, the body relaxes completely and the nervous system calms down, making this method a ritual particularly well-suited for the evening, to prepare the body for sleep. In this article, we explain how this muscle relaxation method works and, above all, how you can easily practise it at home in just a few minutes.
