I’ve never taken vicodin, I only know it exists from English-language media and the internet. PMR does entirely different things than a massage or a hot bath. It’s a very active process to achieve a different body feel and more awareness of your body while also calming your mind. I don’t really feel qualified to explain what it does because I still need loads of practice and I only got what the point is after I had practical training.
Think of it as your idle mind wandering and making stuff up for its own amusement.
I’ll keep my own council, thanks anyway.
What’s your meditation technique?
Well, you offered advice, I returned the favour. I do progressive muscle relaxation.
Interesting. How effective is it compared to, say, a massage, hot-tub or vicodin?

Have you gotten results?
Some. I’m better able to deal with stressful situations by applying PMR. Still don’t sleep. But I also should practice more often.
