Hemi Sync Exercises and leg tension

[jstro]

Hello everyone.

I wanted to ask, in Wave VI, Expansion in locale 1, when it comes the time to float, my lower half of the legs get tensed. I mean I know I am relaxed, but when it comes the time to "leave", they get tensed, just the calves. Is this normal? It happened also on a couple of other previous exercises of the gateway experience.

Im wondering if this is hidden fear of my subconscious to "letting go", a normal reaction when trying to leave, or something else entirely.

Thanks.

Tension in any part of the physical body will cause you to get stuck in those areas. There are ways to work with this- do more 'physical relaxation' in the first part of your routine, and/or use a 'distracting' method to separate when it feels like it's time to do it. That you are body-aware at this part of the exercise tells me you're not relaxed or tranced enough to start trying- perhaps you need to wait a bit longer, or use a method of separation that disengages your consciousness from your body, in other words, your attention needs to be more environmental and less body-centered.

Thanks for your answer.

Right now I tried the next exercise, Point of departure, and again the same thing. I feel completely relaxed, but when the instructions tell you to rotate, or float, I try mentally to do it and start feeling how my calves get hard with tension.

Should I then relax even more before starting the exercises?

thanks again

It seems it would be indicated, yes.

Hi,

I am new here but wanted to offer a suggestion with the leg issue. When I am doing my 'lessons', I lay down and have a similar problem with my legs tensing up - I found by drawing my knees up and then letting them drop to the sides that I was able to totally relax. If this doesn't make sense let me know and I will try to explain it a bit better.

Warm regards

Rose

Hi, Rose.

Seems like the thread is a bit dated.

Welcome nevertheless.

I too had problems with my legs, probably still do, but mine went beyond being a bit tense. The right one jumped off the bed.
