Dear Daniel, >> There's one practical comment Mr. Blystone made that does disturb me, since I heard it before in other places too - that it's much safer to start the relaxation from the head than from the feet. Is there any truth to that? << No. I've also seen that written before but have never seen an explanation of why. :) One drawback with starting with the head is that as you progress downward, your facial muscles tend to re-tighten and by the time you reach your feet, your eyes, brow, jaw, scalp, etc. are all tensed again from the concentration. My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 20 April 2004 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis http://E.webring.com/hub?ring=arionthebardonwe
