“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

With this relaxation more tension will not build up. The muscles and body can relax. [...]

[...] You can help him to relax in the moment as you did last evening by simple reminders and by play.

[...] This is to be followed with a focus toward relaxation. Simply keep relaxation in mind.

[...] It is highly important now that he add a new emphasis, encouraging relaxation, which brings along with it always greater freedom to move and respond.

[...] Yet a refusal to worry as such will often show remarkable results by freeing the creative mechanisms, relaxing the body, and therefore allowing solutions and resolutions to occur naturally. [...]

The process occurring now began in a dream state, was further accelerated this morning, and further so in the relaxation just before the session. The release however then of muscles previously tight can be initially unpleasant, but this soon passes, as other groups of muscles relax gradually in response. [...]

(At break at 9:56, Jane became very relaxed. [...]

[...] The feelings of relaxation and mobility can frighten him—though they do so far less than previously, and less often. [...] The massager is very beneficial now, for his body is pliable enough now to respond—but more, as he used it recently the intent to relax is there. The mechanical aid is good: he is safely seated, and he has also used the occasion to relax his mind.

The relaxed tendons. [...]

Now: it is the effortlessness, the spontaneous relaxation, that worries Ruburt, in that it is not specifically decided upon at any given point, but seems to happen by itself. [...]

Ruburt’s body is allowing itself to relax, particularly on the couch when his back is supported. [...]

(Long pause at 9:04.) There is no doubt that differing portions of Ruburt’s body are quite comfortable, and far more flexible, when he relaxes in such a fashion. [...]

[...] Relaxation, again, is a part of the creative process. [...]

[...] Daily use of those particular back exercises, with their mental discipline, will further aid in his development, until he will find indeed that he can not only relax at will, but even when he does not have time to will relaxation, that is, relaxation will be the built-in conditioned reflex that panic used to be.

[...] The quietude and relaxation derived from them is excellent. [...]

This is going to be in some respects a relaxed session. [...]

The use of full intuition with discipline and control, and a daily schedule that includes contemplation and a temporary relaxation and slowing down of bodily process, [means] he will live longer because of this, and his work will be deeper and of greater import.

Use relaxation techniques, as in hypnotic techniques, if you want. [...] You have not taken my suggestion before for a very simple reason: part of you, Joseph, was not ready to reassure Ruburt in such a fashion, for you were not certain that it was safe to relax in such a world, and you did not want to lie to Ruburt because you believed the newspaper world so thoroughly—with all, now, of its implications, as Ruburt did.

[...] Then, however, I would like you each, for one-half hour twice a week, to use your own separate relaxation techniques. Such exercises state and reinforce your intent, reinforce it through physical action, and the relaxation will set you free in your psychic endeavors, bringing your nightly dreams into clearer focus, because you are setting up consciously a better relationship between your mind and your body.

[...] It makes it seem foolhardy to relax, doesn’t it? [...]

[...] Tell his body that the muscles can relax, that you are there, and it is safe for him to let go.

When Ruburt allows his body to relax, it uses the opportunity while it has it, so that the relaxation seems exaggerated. [...]

(Jane became so relaxed as session time approached that she told me several times that she’d have to put off the session until tomorrow night. [...]

[...] “I’m so relaxed, yet I feel all that material there. [...]

[...] Because of other beliefs it seemed that it was not safe to relax. [...] The panic he feels in some particular kind of relaxation episodes does indeed involve the psychological feelings that were buried within that releasing tension. [...]

[...] Yet while trying the library she felt “relaxed and panicky at the same time.” [...]

[...] This only applies to certain periods of relaxation, however, that are connected with the eventual freedom of the most vital motions of the body. [...]

[...] They also reflected—to some degree, now—your own perhaps more subsidiary beliefs that it was not safe to relax, or that spontaneity might lead to further uncertainties. [...]

First of all, he has not relaxed since he mailed his book, really.

[...] After the psychic excitement and effort and discipline involved in the venture of the book, there simply must be a complete relaxation, a letting go. [...]

It will not do if he resents the time he thinks is lost in relaxation or other pursuits. [...]

[...] It may require effort but relaxation is necessary, or the period of transition will be needlessly prolonged. [...]

At any given time, then, he may not feel it right to relax, because he has thus-and-thus a chore to perform, or because of the hour, or for any other reasons that will all serve to hide the fact that he is afraid of relaxing. He thinks he fears relaxing because then he will do nothing—but instead he is afraid of letting go because he fears he will go too far, and put himself in an unsafe position in the world. [...]

We are now involved with reassuring Ruburt that it is safe to move, and ultimately that it is safe to relax. We are trying to reassure him that relaxation is indeed a part of a creative process, and that it also makes all other motion possible. [...]

When you spoke to him this afternoon, telling him it was safe to relax, you helped break his isolation. [...]

When you use suggestions, together they should largely be playful, or relaxing, or authoritative. [...] If you want to relax and you are tense, it is often simpler to bypass the issue, and tell yourself instead to imagine a peaceful scene, in which case you will relax without ordering your muscles to do so. [...]

[...] Those states also automatically help bring about necessary physical relaxation, for the relaxation of course first exists at that other stage.

[...] When I looked in on Jane at 10:30, thinking she’d want to get up, I found instead that she was sleeping heavily, with her knees and legs relaxed and “dumped” to her left in a more relaxed position than usual. [...]

[...] It was clear something had happened: Jane said her legs were more relaxed than they’d been in years—but at the same time they were so sore she was appalled. [...]

I feel as if this is the first sign that those psychological and physical areas are being touched or allowed to relax or release. [...]

[...] It is a healthy condition of almost complete relaxation, signifying the release of his physical system from the mental hold of fear that has made it comparatively rigid up until now.

[...] The system was too wound up to be allowed sudden complete relaxation.

[...] At breakfast when Rob read me the session I grew very relaxed and had to lie down. [...]

[...] I was very relaxed. [...]

Each of you need two 5-minute periods a day, at least, in which you purposefully relax mental and physical tensions through whatever methods you choose. [...]

[...] The relaxation periods will help short-circuit your own problems. [...]

(Jane was so relaxed yesterday and last night—as she has been often lately—that we held no session. [...] Even though she was again very relaxed today, she was also active writing. [...]

[...] He knows now he does not have to slow down, and that relaxation leads to motion. [...]

[...] And right at the end of the session, Jane’s head flopped down loosely, as she quickly returned to the very relaxed state she’d known before, while speaking for Seth.)

Doctors might suggest that a patient relax and then ask himself or herself what kind of inner fantasy would best serve the healing process. [...]

Relax yourself as much as possible. [...]

For another exercise, then, relax yourself as much as possible once more. [...]

[...] Once again, relax yourself as much as possible. [...]

[...] The relaxation episodes will continue again, when he realizes he does not have to be changing the world in each moment. [...] The relaxation periods aid in all respects. He does still need you to remind him of the safety of relaxation now and then.

[...] She’d also been quite relaxed at times through the day, so I didn’t ask her for a session. [...]
