Stress Management Relaxation Technique: Using Nature Sounds

One stress management relaxation technique that often goes unnoticed is the use of natural sounds from the environment.  The sounds of a fountain, gurgling brook, ocean waves, or forest rain can be very soothing.  These sounds allow us to slip into a more relaxed state of mind by calming down our thoughts and actually influencing our brain waves.  When you've been having a hectic or stress-filled day, this simple relaxation technique can often provide the remedy.

We have described several stress management relaxation techniques on other pages of this website, including meditation, guided imagery and yoga.  Another way to relieve stress is by practicing a hobby you enjoy.  However the sounds from nature can be very calming and comforting if you are struggling with a sense of overwhelm.  Using some fragrant aromatherapy can be a nice addition to the use of natural sounds.
