Greetings, I'm 65 days into my goal of 90 straight days of daily lying relaxation (missed one day in there early on). On days 43 and 44 I experienced what I'm guessing is what Kit means by "now experience the sensation of being deeply relaxed". It felt like I was floating in space and my limbs were gently swaying, even though I was just laying on the floor. Hasn't really happened since but it was indeed wonderful. Two things were different during those days: I was very tired and I think I kept dozing off during the script. I realized that up till then I had been somewhat controlling my breath. I decided to just let my breath do what my body wanted regardless of how it affected by mental state. Giving up control of my breath resulted in very shallow breath, and now it seems that I can get closer to that state of relaxation if I really focus on not controlling my breath. Just let it get very shallow with fairly long bouts of no breathing. Just curious what anyone has to say about this. Thanks. -Jason

Here you go; both are around twenty minutes in duration: https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/lying-relaxation-scripts/2015-London_lying_meditation_Day_One.mp3 Day one includes a setup section, so if you do not need this, fast forward to about two minutes in. and https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/lying-relaxation-scripts/2015-London_lying_meditation_Day_Two.mp3 This one starts a bit abruptly, but we only had 20'!

Hello all, As some of you know, I have just returned from a silent retreat co-presented by myself and Patrick Kearney, run in the wonderful Govinda Valley Retreat Centre; I did the movement, lying relaxation, and alignment sessions; Patrick did the dharma and practise sessions talks. I recorded all my lying meditation sessions, and I have uploaded them onto the server. They are labelled Monday-Saturday. One of them, Wed23/4, is a simple counting exercise, so apart from those instructions and some relaxation cues, is largely silent, so unless you specifically want this practise, skip Wednesday. These are .mp3 files, so will download directly into iTunes or on to any MP3 player; you only need to save the files onto your desktop and load into whatever listening device you use. Here they are: Monday (the first one, and the most basic, HERE. I have included a "Fast_generic_ relaxation_18'" audio HERE; this was recorded a few weeks before. Tuesday (the second in the series; slightly different visualisations) HERE. Wednesday (the two approaches to counting practise) HERE. Thursday, the Vedana (focussing on feelings and emotions) HERE. Friday, a number of new visualisations, HERE. Saturday's one, focussing on a different form of the Sampajanna (Clear Understanding") practises, part of the relaxation script HERE. Please enjoy, and I will appreciate hearing from you about your experiences with them, kl
