Meditation
Swedish Massage:
Full body relaxation massage technique. Known to be good for relaxation, tension, circulation, oxygenation, and decreasing muscle toxins. You undress to your comfort level and cover up with a blanket. You remain covered the entire time. (Mostly that means bottom underwear or completely unclothed. But, do whatever makes you comfortable. Note from author: I like to wear socks, my feet get chilling in the winter.)
