Is a stretch producing sensations of pulling or tugging or warmth or tingling or something else? Try to notice precisely what you are feeling, even ask yourself: “What am I feeling now? What is this feeling in my neck, my shoulders, or my arms? Exactly where is it? What qualities does this feeling have? Is my mind reacting or responding to the feelings?”

If you continue to do this with care, attention, and regularity, you will soon notice that your limits are changing, and dissolving, by themselves. The best effort is effort involving patience, acceptance, and consistency. The finest results will be achieved by not trying to achieve anything at all, even relaxation. It’s enough to simply do what the stretching recording says to do, as best you can, paying full attention to how your body is feeling in each moment.

Now it’s time to practice the GMATI-2 meditation.
