Mary Makes a Start
 

 

Mary tries the Benson Technique and finds that it helps, but begins to wonder how to achieve deeper levels. She wants to be sure she has the right attitude for relaxation. For many years, Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn has conducted workshops for victims of stress and pain at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. He has descrtibed the 'Right Attitudes' for learning relaxation. Many feel that the right attitudes are more important than the specific technique.

According to Benson a passive attitude means not worrying about how you are doing and not fighting thoughts that intrude. Just say 'Oh well' and return to repeating your word to yourself.
