There are two types of relaxation
There are two types of relaxation: “Dynamic” and “Passive.” When muscles are completely relaxed and simply dormant, it is called PASSIVE RELAXATION. When the muscles are relaxed, but moving smoothly and easily, it is called DYNAMIC RELAXATION. The latter is best illustrated by an athlete running easily in a relaxed manner.
This same dynamic relaxation, used by athletes, must be used in the reading activity. All barriers to relaxation must be removed. No tension of any kind should be felt. As you practice and progress through the program, you will learn to relax and your eye movement, while reading, will be easy, smooth and natural. The more you practice, the more easily and the more quickly it will be learned.
The most important step you must take in developing your Alpha-Netics Rapid Reading skills, is learning the skill of relaxation. It is a skill, and like any other skill, it can be learned with practice. You will be given passive relaxation exercises to help you develop the relaxation skill. Once you learn it, you will be able to relax at any time, and in any place. If you can relax this way, you will be able to function more effectively with dynamic relaxation exercises. It is important that you understand and be able to function with dynamic relaxation.
There have been many varied and interesting experiences with people using the relaxation exercises taught by the program. Readers have stated that they could only read for a few minutes before their eyes became tired and they became sleepy. After using the program and learning the relaxation program, they can now read for indefinite periods of time. Others have stated that the ability to relax is so important to them that learning the relaxation skill alone was worth more than the total amount they paid for the program.
