[Relaxation workshops in primary care].

Primary Health Care Centers provide access to relaxation workshops to the general population. As objectives, these try to teach or train citizens how to manage their stress and how to confront life. These workshops make up a health sector, an educational one which teaches how to use one's personal resources and social skills to be able to manage conflicts which occur in life and how to relax. It is important to highlight the benefits of relaxation as a procedure to provide calmness to the body, confidence to the heart and clarity to the mind.

[Relaxation. The art of loosening and releasing].

Relaxation is a procedure which provides calmness to the body, confidence to the heart and clarity to the mind. Relaxation is much more than resting. Relaxation brings about a state in which we feel tranquility and peacefullness, in which our emotions are tamed and our thoughts are appeased. If we relax, our entire body relaxes. Our muscles loosen up and rest, our aches and rigidity disappear. And from this state of well-being, our mind is lucid and open to confront life and to develop its maximum potential. Relaxation is not just a procedure to free us from stress and tension. It is a positive, multidimensional skill which we should learn from our infancy as a necessary resource to live and develop fully.
