The Multi-Technique Relaxation audio activity, inspired by acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), combines three of the most popular and research-supported relaxation techniques into one exercise.
Over the course of 15 minutes, you will practice progressive muscle relaxation, deep breathing, and mindfulness meditation. This professionally recorded audio exercise strikes a careful balance between brevity and thoroughness, making it an excellent option for daily practice.
If you prefer to practice each technique individually, check out our progressive muscle relaxation, deep breathing, and mindfulness meditation audio exercises.
