Relaxation Therapy: Introduction Part 2

In Part 2 of the Relaxation Therapy introduction, Dr. Ray Mulry explores how widespread reliance on medication in the 1970s shaped America’s response to tension—and how his natural, self-directed approach to tension relief offers a meaningful alternative.

This session introduces the three stages of Relaxation Therapy—breathing, muscle relaxation, and guided imagery—while offering practical tips for setup, emotional safety, and long-term practice. Dr. Mulry emphasizes how deeper awareness of tension supports self-regulation, personal responsibility, and sustained well-being.

Though recorded in 1976, the insights remain strikingly relevant in today’s high-pressure world.
