The first uses tense and relax to introduce the mind to the sensation of true relaxation. The second teaches you to scan your body part-by-part. The last 7 days takes you into a wonderful, deeply restful, total body relaxation.

This course has been so helpful, as is everything on the site. I just wanted to ask what music is playing in part 2?
Hello,
I want to start meditating and i wanted to ask if this is a good start.
thnx :)
In the introductions you keep pointing to that sense of "not-doing" or "not-trying", which I experience from time to time ( approx. once a month, haphazardly), and intellectually I understand, what you are talking about. I experienced that kind of mentality quite often when I was a teenager,especially when I was practicing an instrument, just a few years ago.
Why do I feel, that this mentality occurs more and more rarely for me? I don't like that trend. Without that, practicing an instrument is a silly waste of time. Doesnt get me anywhere... a famous teacher once called this "an ego trip". I experienced, that I can only build up abilities on that instrument, when I developed a good contact to it, which also implies that kind of "flow-mentality" or effortlessness. Only then exercises make sense. Not only instruments, not only yoga exercises. I took the instrument as an example, because I think it is one of the most immediate ways of experiencing that effortlessness-mentality.
It is not only effortlessness, which characterizes that mentality. There is also a seriousness to it. Not an uptight seriousness, but an integral seriousness.
I look forward to doing this when I get off of work everyday. I run at least once a week and usually I have pain in the arches of my feet that shoot up to my calves but today I had no pain at all. I was able to run without stopping. Every day I feel less tense and less pain when I do this meditation. Thank you!
