I hate relaxing

[IWANTHOTDOG]

This a problem I have which makes me unable to trance. On the rare occasion I think I can go into trance, but other wise I just have the feeling of relaxing. It "hurts" so much. I especially hate tensing a muscle to cause it to relax. OMG im panicking right now just thinking about it. GRRR I hate this so much.

there is another state of trance on the other end of the spectrum that involves activity or strong anxiety. i dont think anyone really makes files for that state of trance though. there is not much literature out there for it either.

i feel your pain though. i have had some people mention that they struggle with that. another person has issues with tingling suggestions because it triggers one of their chronic health problems

Progressive muscle relaxation is bs, or atleast for me it is. By tensing a muscle you cause the exact opposite of relaxation. I just have to get up and move after feeling that pain.
