Lesson 3 Mental Relaxation

Practice Lesson 2 again, and try to go at an even, constant pace, not spending more time in one area than in any other. Repeat the exercise and speed up your internal movements without losing the sensation of depth. When you have a command of the exercise in Lesson 2, continue with this lesson. In this lesson we will work with mental relaxation. Begin in a state of external and internal relaxation, that is, go through the external and internal practices in Lessons 1 and 2. Then, feel your head again, feel your scalp, and below it your skull. Begin to feel your brain inside your scalp. Feel your brain as if it were “tense.” Then, let that tension loosen up and “flow” inwards and down, towards the center of your head. Concentrate on this and move inward one layer at a time. Continue lowering the tension with a sensation of “falling” as the top of your brain begins to feel very soft and pleasant. Always move down, down towards the center of your head, down below the center, lower and lower. Feel a soft, warm, and fluffy sensation. Repeat this exercise several times until you become proficient at it. See Figure 3.
