before an exam or presentation.

This session is designed to quickly bring you into a calm,
focused state. A tranquil body allows the mind more ability
to be alert and attentive. Your main focus when using this

breathing exercises to help you do that.

help stimulate your thought processes. Use it frequently for
maximum benefit. Try this one for several days in a row for

18 25 min Body/Mind Awareness
There is a direct connection between health of the mind
and the body. It is difficult to have a tranquil mind while your
body feels tense. Alternatively, it is difficult to allow your
body to relax if your mind is overactive or you are filled with
emotional anxiety. This session is best used with a record-
ed program designed for tranquility of your body and mind.
If no tape is available, do a body awareness exercise of
going through each muscle group and becoming aware of
tight spots. Work to release and relax your entire body over
this 25 minute session. Use it often if this is your main area
of concern. Pay attention to your body and notice if you find
it becoming looser as the weeks progress.
19 22 min Afternoon Break
Mix this session with some gentle, soothing music or nature
sounds to reduce the tensions caused by your daily life. The
session is long enough to help you to become deeply re-
freshed, but not so long as to cut too heavily into your other
daily responsibilities. One of the most difficult problems to
overcome is making the time each day to use the unit in a
meaningful way. If you find this to be the case try any of the
15–25 minute sessions and commit yourself to using them.
If you can spare a few extra minutes you may find this ses-
sion becomes one of your favorites.
