Progressive Muscle Relaxation

Progressive muscle relaxation is a mediation exercise that teaches you how to relax your muscles using a two-step process. First, you tense particular muscle groups in your body/ Then, you release the tension and notice how your muscles feel.

Practice melting away that icky frozen feeling you get when you’re scared, frustrated or angry.

You can get ready for bedtime by saying goodnight to the different parts of your body! Elmo can’t fall asleep, and he learns to use monster meditation to help himself calm down to help get ready for bed. He takes soothing belly breaths and plays Goodnight Body (like progressive muscle relaxation) by wiggling each part of his body and relaxing it, to say goodnight to each part of his body.
