Relax and Reintegrate
This technique is a mixture of well-known step-by-step relaxation methods and one of the basic Reintegration System's techniques called “Dissolving the Temporary I” (DTI).
The “Relax and Reintegrate” (RR) technique is not much time-consuming, and is suitable for many purposes, whether we want to get rid of tension and stress or to prepare ourselves for some more complex inner work.
This method is not a mere relaxation process. It is a kind of deep meditation on itself. It releases huge amounts of tension, stress and anxiety. Moreover, through this technique, we will often be removing many layers of various inner obstacles, such as traumatic memories, suppressed emotions, limiting beliefs, etc. Any tension in our body is actually caused by some of these inner hindrances, and by releasing it we are reintegrating those particular causes, directly or indirectly.
Here is the Relax and Reintegrate technique:
1. It is preferable to sit up straight, eyes closed. If you are lying on a bed, open your eyes to keep yourself awake. Focus on your breath. Slowly and deeply inhale through your nose, feeling the breath as it moves down to your abdomen. Reverse the process as you exhale through your mouth. Do this for 1 or 2 minutes.
2. Mentally scan your body. Notice how your body feels, starting at your toes and going up to your head, including the face. Slowly move your attention over all the parts of your body, one by one. Become aware of all places and body parts in which you feel tension, together with accompanying sensations. For every tense place pay close attention to your I-feeling (or Temporary I) from which you are experiencing that sensation and do the DTI technique.
By doing this way, any tension will be gone quickly and completely. If any emotion or other content of the mind appears, it simply means that the tension was caused by it and now it’s released, ready to be re-integrated into the wholeness of your being. Do not miss this chance. Do the DTI immediately on every mind content which arises. In this way, the simple relaxation turns out to be a deeply transformative meditation.
Of course, you will need to learn the DTI technique and make it habitual. But once it becomes a routine, you will be able to do the RR technique anywhere. You can RR while you are waiting in a queue, when you are lying in bed, or while sitting, whenever you have some free time. You will only have to adjust slightly the procedure to the particular circumstances. If done regularly, it will deeply transform your life.
