The first step is to relax, we must come to a point of physical and emo­tional relaxation. A tense person simply cannot produce effective results. A disturb person can’t have a happy or learning mind. No matter how well you learn the techniques, the inner disturbance will nullify the words we speak and do, because there is a conflict between what we are saying and what we are feeling and doing. 

It would be in our best interest to learn how to fully relax our mind and body for every moment each day. One easy and effortless way to do this is through a process of breathing and observing. Before we begin, stretch out our body and concentrate on observing our body.  Then, sitting upright in a chair with eyes closed, start to inhale and exhale in a slow, comfortable rhythm.  Now, work­ing through the arms, hand, and shoulders, back and abdom­inal areas, and our thighs, calves and feet, flex our muscles by squeezing them and letting them go. 

Whatever method we choose, it is essential that we take a few moments each day to take a break from our problems, fears and anxieties to recharge and reprogram ourself with being aware of our body, breathe and mind.
