In today’s busy world, relaxation is essential yet often overlooked. It plays a vital role in reducing stress, balancing the nervous system, and supporting long-term health. The Cleveland Clinic outlines and offers helpful podcasts from Cleveland Clinic doctors on relaxation habits and simple relaxation excercies. Yet many people struggle to find time to relax.
A Mental Health Foundation UK article on rethinking rest highlighted the importance of why rest is so important for our mental health with some really useful information on how to improve our relationship with rest.
Neglecting rest has consequences. The American Psychological Association warns that chronic stress without adequate relaxation can disrupt hormones, lower immunity, and increase the risk of illness and burnout.
Thankfully, there are simple, proven relaxation techniques: deep breathing, guided imagery, mindfulness, and time in nature. Mayo Clinic promotes meditation as a powerful way to calm the mind. The NHS also shares accessible relaxation tools suitable for busy lives.

Below we answer some of the often-asked questions about relaxation and how to find time to relax the mind and body.
How can I relax and be happy?
Relaxation and happiness are not destinations; they’re states of being that bloom when we feel safe, seen, and connected to the moment.
At Mindspace, we believe that happiness begins when we take time or even a moment out for ourself.
With noticing the little things; the warmth of sunlight on your face, the sound of your breath, the quiet joy of doing something just for you.
Gentle practices like mindful breathing, movement, and healing sound frequencies help calm the body and clear the mind. From here, you can reconnect with what truly uplifts you - time in nature, laughter with someone you love, music that stirs the soul. Even small moments of gratitude, softly whispered or quietly felt, can create a shift toward joy.
Happiness grows in still spaces and relaxation opens the door.
Let Mindspace help you return to both, with sound, with gentleness and with the beauty of simply being.
How to relax the body from stress?
When stress lingers in the body, it can feel like a heaviness you can’t quite shake - a heavy tension held in your shoulders, your breath even your belly. But with through intentional relaxation you can return to a state of calm.
At Mindspace, we invite you to begin slowly. A few deep breaths… a gentle stretch… a moment of stillness. These simple acts speak directly to your nervous system, reminding it that it’s safe to let go.
Sound, too, plays a beautiful role in releasing stress from the body. Our healing frequencies; from soothing Solfeggio tones to calming ocean waves, help you unwind from within, easing tension and guiding your body toward rest. Add to this the comfort of a whole range of nature soundscapes and ambient piano lead music and when you listen, your body begins to remember how to feel peaceful again.
Stress doesn’t leave all at once. But moment by moment, breath by breath, you can gently return to yourself. And Mindspace will be here to help you find your way.
How to relax your mind from stress?
When we are stressed, it can feel like a relentless storm - constant thoughts, heavy feelings, the sense of being pulled in every direction. But even the busiest mind can find its way back to stillness, with softness and care.
At Mindspace, we undertake the heavy lifting for you, to help encourage a gentle return to calm.
Slow, deep breathing can ease the nervous system. Mindfulness meditation helps anchor you in the now. And immersing yourself in nature - or simply listening to its sounds through our calming videos - can be deeply soothing.
Our sound frequencies, from Solfeggio tones to Theta binaural beats, help quiet mental chatter and invite inner peace. Creative expression, journaling, or taking a sacred pause to just be can send a loving signal to the mind: you’re safe.
Stress may come and go, but peace is always waiting. Let us help you find your way back to it.
How to relax and stop overthinking?
Overthinking often comes from a tender place - a mind trying to make sense of it all, a heart that wants to feel safe. But when thoughts loop and spiral, they can cloud the stillness you crave.
At Mindspace, we believe the first step to quieting the mind is not to fight your thoughts, but to soften around them. Begin by gently bringing your awareness to the present - through breath, through sound, through stillness. Our sound frequencies, from grounding Solfeggio tones to calming Theta binaural beats, help shift your mind from overload to calm.
You might also find comfort in mindful journaling, a walk among trees, or simply pausing to notice the sky. Giving yourself permission to feel - without needing to fix - can be deeply healing. And setting aside time to listen inward with kindness, rather than judgment, creates space for peace and relaxation to return.
You are not your thoughts. You are the quiet beneath them. Let Mindspace guide you back to that quiet.
How to relax at home?
In a world that moves so fast, many of us have simply forgotten how to slow down. Our home should be a sanctuary - a space to relax, breathe, and return to yourself. But finding that calm again can take time… and patience.
At Mindspace, we believe relaxation begins with permission - permission to step away from the noise and tend to your own well-being. You might start with a few deep breaths, light a candle, and sink into music that soothes your nervous system. Our calming sound frequencies and gentle nature visuals can help shift your space into a haven of stillness.
Whether it’s through a quiet meditation, stroking your pet’s fur, reading something beautiful, or simply lying back with your eyes closed and your heart open - relaxation is less about doing, and more about being.
At home, let your surroundings support you. Let your senses lead the way. And let Mindspace walk beside you, every gentle step of the way.
What is the best way to relax?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer , the best way to relax is the one that resonates with you. True relaxation comes when we honour what the body and mind need in the moment.
For some, it’s found in slow, mindful breathing… or in the gentle rhythm of progressive muscle relaxation. For others, it’s through meditation, quiet movement like yoga, or simply being present with nature. Music, too, is a powerful asset especially healing sound frequencies that work beneath the surface, calming the nervous system and reducing and clearing the background noise.
At Mindspace, we blend all of these into one tranquil experience. Whether you find ease in ocean waves sounds for example, Solfeggio tones, or the healing benefit of binaural beats - our tools are here to guide you into deeper peace, in your own way, at your own pace.
Relaxation is not something you chase - it’s something you gently allow.
Why do I struggle to relax?
Many people find it hard to relax - not because they’re doing something wrong, but because their nervous system is simply overwhelmed. Stress, anxiety, emotional strain, and even the pressure to relax can keep the body in a heightened “fight or flight” state.
At Mindspace, we offer a more natural way to unwind. Our sound frequencies, calming music, and nature-infused visuals are crafted to soothe your mind and gently guide your body toward stillness.
From Solfeggio tones to Theta frequency binaural beats or perhaps the sound of ocean waves, everything we create is designed to help you relax, breathe, and return to a place of ease.
Relaxation isn’t a task - it’s a state to slowly sink in to.
