Relaxation
Session Brief
In reality, relaxation can be one of the healthiest, but the hardest, things to incorporate into your everyday life. This session is designed by Monica to help you to relax both body and mind. Bring your music/sounds you find relaxing, turn the lights down, mute your microphone/turn your camera off and lie back and get cosy as Monica talks you through a 45 minute relaxation. She won't disturb you when the session is over, so remember to set your alarm if you have somewhere to be afterwards as you're likely to fall asleep!
It feels good. Kind of like when you have to shut your computer down, just sometimes when it goes crazy, you just shut it down and when you turn it on, it’s okay again.
- Ellen DeGeneres
Session Details
How Does
It Work?​
Monica will begin by checking everyone is ok. She will then talk us through our relaxation session, giving gentle instruction which will help you to relax your mind and body.
What do
I Need?
For the session you will need your laptop or mobile device and session zoom link, a quiet uninterrupted space to sit or lie down, and your own relaxing music to play (45-60 minlong)
What Do
I Do?
Following check in Monica will ask you to turn off the camera and microphone on your computer (this means you can hear her but no-one can hear or see you.) You will then get yourself comfortable, turn on your music and listen to Monica as she talks you through an hour of relaxation. You may even fall asleep!
