It is enough here to direct his energy on a part of his body, to be able to relax. So, if you are lucky enough to sit, start by comfortably stopping your back, and relax the muscles of your legs. Then go through them gradually, mentally, from the feet to the buttocks. This concentration will allow you to ignore the rest and relax. On the other hand, if you are standing, spread your feet the width of your shoulders. Then visualize and feel the triangle formed by your legs and the floor between your feet. This base gives you stability and allows you to absorb jolts. You then become aware of the energy that is in your feet, and your strength. A good way to relax.
