RELAXATION TECHNIQUES III

October 8, 1989


BEGINNING THE AP EXPERIENCE / REMEMBERING


Stretch, take a good deep stretch, all through your body. Slide down
in the afterglow of that stretch, into a relaxed position.

Holding that afterglow feeling, reflect back on how it feels to be
relaxed, as if you were in bed at night on the edges of sleep (though
this time you stay AWAKE and don't miss the fun). If you are already
trained in some form of meditation or Astral Projection, reflect back
on one of your BEST experiences of meditation or AP, and how that felt.
If you are religious, reflect back on how it feels to listen in prayer.

Whichever experience you reflect back on, remember it more and more
completely. Remember more and more clearly what it feels like, what
elements in the experience go along with that feeling.

Remembering an experience re-creates the mental and physical basis of
that experience. This is why you are already virtually back in the
quality of this experience you are remembering, this experience you are
remembering more about, more and more clearly.

While remembering the feeling and quality of this experience, now
slowly breathe in deeply and breathe out deeply...3 to 5 times, and
just let your muscles go a little more with each breath out, relaxing
more deeply.

Become more aware of what you are feeling and experiencing within you,
and become more aware of your surroundings. It's surprising how much
of a mental picture you can build up of your surroundings, just from
what you can hear.

Taking about six seconds to do so, breathe in slowly and very deeply.

Exhale as slowly and deeply. With your lungs empty, try to blow out an
imaginary candle a foot in front of your face - that's how deeply you
should exhale.

Go on inhaling and exhaling as deeply as you can, very slowly, six
seconds or longer each way.



May you find the joy and happiness that you deserve...and also utilize
