made three landmark discoveries in the early 20th century. These truths are the backbone of my practice. Jacobson’s fi rst discovery confi rmed that when we think or imagine, it is a whole-body experience, involving the brain, nerves and muscles. The body is impacted by our every thought! I train my clients to be aware of urgent, fearful, negative thoughts that the body transforms into extreme body tension. This condition is known as Canon’s “fi ght or fl ight” response. Over time, negative thoughts translate into chronic physical symptoms in the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and immune systems. Further, mental clarity is diminished and psychological symptoms surface, such as crippling anxiety. Jacobson’s second discovery --- a


universal message of hope --- assures us that no matter how stressed or tense, the body has an innate ability to release tension and unlearn chronic habits. Nature wired it into our nervous system! Jacobson developed a teachable skill and named it Progressive Relaxation. By practicing this simple skill, we return our body to a healthy equilibrium.


Even though the body has over a thousand voluntary muscles, the beauty is that they work in groups. Clients learn to identify the few locations necessary to let go of tension and relax.


Jacobson’s third discovery was really an invention, the result of a collaboration with Bell Laboratories: the EMG biofeedback machine that measures muscle tension. I fi nd people are simply unaware of the extraordinary tension they carry in their bodies. The beauty of this tool is that it gives the person’s brain immediate feedback when they succeed in releasing tension. In fact, 70 years of Jacobson’s impeccable research shows that we waste 30 to 60% of our energy in chronic tension and shallow breathing habits.
