relaxingly
With soothing ease
Relaxingly describes doing something in a manner that produces calm or reduces tension.
It's an uncommon adverb, since most contexts prefer the adjective relaxing or the noun relaxation.
When it does appear, it typically modifies verbs describing activities: She spent the afternoon relaxingly reading by the pool.
The word suggests an unhurried, soothing quality to whatever action it describes.
