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.

I don't use the tangerine technique because I easily forget about focusing my attention on the top back part of my head when I read. I use a technique from Guy Finley's "Road to Good Fortune" tapes. He wasn't talking about reading or relaxing but "waking up" mentally. He said to place your attention on any one thing in the room (we'd use a book) then become aware of yourself in the room being aware of the book. Attention is what you're doing to the book but AWARENESS is everything else. It's like having 2 "knowings" going at the same time and neither are "thinking" as we know it. Like if your at a family reunion and you're walking around you may have your attention on various things and these things are constantly changing (the people, the grill, the food, the this, the that, etc) but at the same time you can be fully aware of where you are, your posture, breathing, thoughts going thru you etc. In other words you know that you're at a family reunion and are not lost on any particular thought train- like EVERYONE else there. When I sit down and look at the book and become aware of me and my attention is on the book then I guess I can think of a tangerine but at that point I don't need to do that. I think it's one of those mental tricks like in NLP where you look up and to the left to help remember something you saw and looking up and to the right to construct an imaginative or creative thought etc. Maybe thinking about something on the back of your head will help alot of people but if the blip page is optional, then the tangerine has to be too. If you can't concentrate you really need to practice relaxing more than other people.

What is the "quiet scene"? Is it the place you are suppose to imagine yourself in during the 3-2-1 technique. What exactly are suppose to do with it? All the book says is that you should imagine yourself somewhere and that you have spent hours there.

The quiet scene is just a part of relaxing and is optional. PR tons of books on meditation and you'll find something you like better than visualization. I do "come back to the present moment" type things instead of visualization things. If you need to think of yourself on a beach in order to relax then that's your quiet scene and that's all it's for. I have never thought of a quiet scene- I always think of the room I'm in at the time as the quiet place and that nothing else matters. That way I don't have to "think" to keep it going. That's the problem with positive thinking and visualization- it ends.
