I found new ways to look at the tension spots to inquire as to what is true in now.
1. The tension was same level before relaxation exercise, I just blanked it out because it was so painful. The relaxation exercise enable me to feel what is, including areas I wasn't willing to relax now.
2. Or maybe before I did the relaxation the pain was greater, again, I had blanked it out. Then the relaxation exercise actually relax me to the point I could feel the pain.
Both I found helpful in my inquiring process.
