If you lower your gaze your head will assume a better position. Sit with the spine straight but not rigid. Imagine you have heavy weights in your hands, and let them droop towards the floor. This will bring your shoulders down. Now place your hands, palms upwards, on your lap.

Shake each leg in turn then place feet (without shoes) on the floor. Imagine you are wearing heavy boots.

It is a good plan to start all group meetings in this position, even if you are in easy chairs. It may take some persuasion. People often feel vulnerable in this position and ‘protect’ themselves by tightening the shoulders, crossing the arms over the chest and crossing the legs, the moment they say anything involving feelings, e.g. ‘My wife does not understand panic attacks’, or ‘I saw my psychiatrist yesterday’.

Try to be aware of how you are holding yourself whatever you are doing. It is possible to iron without fiercely gripping the iron, to drive without grappling with the steering wheel. Dishes still get washed if you don’t press your knees back and tense your neck.

Even confrontation is possible without tightening up. You will feel much more in control facing an angry boss if you are aware of your muscles and breathing. An afternoon spent entertaining a tiresome relative will affect you much less if you make a conscious effort to relax.
