Hello Jc9784,
My suggestion is to try the Relaxation Paraliminal as a way of teaching your mind and body how to relax. The more you do this, the easier it will be for you to induce this state yourself. If you already have the course, then you can just use the Memory SuperCharger Paraliminal, which I find to be highly relaxing as well. And even the book explains the 3-2-1 relaxation technique. Someone else on the forum had mentioned that learning to relax and enter the 'quiet scene' was hard to learn at first. But the state of relaxed alertness is so integral to the whole system that you would be well served by concentrating (no pun intended) on learning relaxation first. Just let go of your aggravation while learning to do the Tangerine Technique. Progress really does come easier if you don't try to force it. Good luck to you.
