First Question: What physical sensation might you feel when practicing the 4-7-8 technique?

Increased muscle tension (option b) is the opposite of what relaxation techniques achieve. Faster breathing (option c) is not a result of this slow - paced breathing technique. Discomfort in the chest (option d) is not a normal sensation from practicing this technique; it is designed to be soothing.

Visualization in the context of relaxation or mental techniques is about creating a detailed mental image, often of a calming place. Focusing on body movements (option a) is more related to body - scan or movement - based relaxation. Listening to surroundings (option b) is more like mindfulness of the environment.
