Going back to basics (that used to work for you)

[Frequent Flier]

I've had a hard time relaxing, for a long while. I'm relearning,  I even bought a machine to help me relax. It works a bit.

I remember a time - in the 80s - when I bought stuff from the Monroe Institute. Tapes. No CD back then.
There was this method of relaxing where you would put your worries in a box, then gradually relax your body starting with your head and going down.
Of course there was Hemi-Sync in the background.

I would relax pretty well. It took a few sessions but I'd get somewhere.

I was going through apps at the ITune store... and found Monroe apps..

One was "Deep 10 relaxation". I recalled that I used to have success with that method.
I bought the app, used it tonight, and felt like I'd gone further into relaxation that I had with the other stuff.

I'm going to stick with that for a while, unless I find something that seems better.

Sometimes searching too far isn't always good...

 This is why it is so important to keep a good Journal of your progress.

Sometimes we get into that "know it all" mindset and we forget what it was that really got us started.

I enjoy a look down "Memory Lane" once in awhile.

Well, the thing was I thought I was having more difficulty than in the past, relaxing.  I was often trying what I thought were better methods, more advanced stuff.

Turns out the old method worked better for me.

Many times the technique we began with, is the one we usually return back to.

We started there for a reason!
