2° Mitchell's technique, this is a bit similar to the previous one, only that in this one only one part is contracted. It actually consists of an intentional movement or contraction of a part of the body that is opposite to a part that is in tension, which means that if a group of muscles is ordered to be tense, the opposing muscles for that action receive an instruction. of relaxing. It involves the imagination of relaxing situations with the intention of inducing muscular and mental relaxation, it involves diaphragmatic breathing and contractions, for this technique the ideal is to lie down with a pillow under the legs, only one part contracts and the other does not.

When the mind is focused on one part it automatically relaxes the other part of the same muscle group, there are actually many relaxation techniques where you use your visual and body awareness to reduce stress, this includes repetition of words or intentional indications in your mind to relax and reduce stress, such as massage, meditation, yoga, aromatherapy, music therapy, among others.
