Go with the feelings of resistance. Then locate just one small part of the area (about an inch) you're trying to relax and just focus on how relaxed it is . Not how relaxed you can make it but how relaxed it is. Tension and relaxation are just opposite ends of the same ruler so just notice where on the ruler that small one inch area (finger, toe, elbow, ear a square inch area on the back of your hand) is and ask yourself if you can let it be just as relaxed as it is. Move to another area do the same thing.
No matter how tense it seems ask yourself if you can just let it be as relaxed as it is? and move one. You don't have to get limp, Trying is just plain trying. First you need to feel it exactly as it is. Move on in the course and do the feeling exercise on it when you get the change. Just feel the feeling (tension).
