Treat Yourself to Relaxation: Silva Relaxation App

Silva Relaxation is a free app that can be used as part of your meditation practice.

If you enjoy these recordings with headphones, you can use them as a means to relax and shut out the outer world while you are on-the-go.

The relaxation exercises guide you through an extended version of a body scan, and then help you to be centered in your breathing.

After a stressful day of thesis writing, or an overly busy conference or meeting, I've used these recordings to let go of the day and get some quiet time.

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays, dear readers!

I hope you all can take some rest, let go of your research, and recharge your batteries. My plans include staying 4 days in the Ardennes in the beautiful South of Belgium.

The regular posts will resume after New Year.

I have tons of plans for PhD Talk in 2013, including a few new series, and 2013 will hopefully be my last year in graduate school, after which I plan to write some general reflecting posts on the whole PhD process, as well as share more of my research in plain English!
