PEM Relaxation for ME/CFS: A Morning in the Park – Relaxation Audio with Candi

This relaxation is a calm, low key way to reset and recover from a crash if you have post-exertional malaise (PEM) or myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). There are no background sounds in this version – just the spoken audio. This relaxation script can also be relevant for those who have long COVID, post-COVID, depression, stroke, endometriosis, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, or other conditions that can cause fatigue, and for anyone who is experiencing fatigue or burnout. Because your body may be feeling uncomfortable or in pain, this ME/CFS relaxation script does not focus on the body. The script includes a long, slow-paced story about a peaceful park. The story can help with rest and relaxation if you’re feeling tired even just lying there. This relaxation can help to calm your mind and rest your body when you are too fatigued to do anything. There is some calm breathing at the start of the relaxation, but otherwise this script does not focus on the body. This can be helpful if focusing on your body is not comfortable or if doing so is less relaxing than turning your focus elsewhere. If you prefer to do more body and muscle relaxation first, you may want to listen to a short physical relaxation exercise and then proceed with this one. You can listen to these and all of my other relaxation recordings on my website, https://relaxation-audio.com.   Find the Relaxation Audio with Candi podcast on Apple Podcasts, on Google Podcasts, on YouTube, at http://relaxation-audio.libsyn.com, or wherever you get podcasts.

Choosing a Type of Relaxation for Your Needs

If you are wondering what type of relaxation exercise may be most helpful, here are some tips.

Progressive muscle relaxation and physical relaxation techniques involve actual movement. Moving can be helpful because your muscles actively tighten and loosen as you follow along with the relaxation exercise. This can help you relax. Some people find it easier to do a physical movement to relax rather than only focusing the mind on relaxation.

Visualizing a relaxing place can be a nice way to take a vacation in your imagination. If you like to use your imagination, these types of relaxation exercises are for you. Get comfortable, picture a relaxing place. Then, relax!

Relaxing the mind can be helpful if you are trying to feel more calm, slow racing thoughts, or reduce anxiety. If you just want to be still rather than doing a physically active relaxation technique, try these types of relaxation exercises.

To help with overcoming insomnia or getting to sleep, try these sleep relaxation exercises.

If you are targeting a particular health concern, try these relaxation for health exercises. These techniques can help deal with a health issue such as anxiety, hiccups, or a variety of other conditions.
