Forced Relaxation Technique

Now I know this title is an oxymoron, but If you don't have Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming I doubt you know about the 61 point relaxation technique used in it, so I have another simple relaxation technique which is somewhat trimmed down and might need to be repeated more than once.
Firstly, take your hand and make a fist. Now tense up the fist so it's as tensed as you can get it without too much pain or strain. Now relax it to the same degree you tensed it. Remember this feeling of tension and relaxation.

Instructions:
  • Get comfortable and relaxed.
  • Close your eyes
  • Focus your awareness on your feet
  • Imagine or visualize tensing, Release...
  • Focus your awareness on your legs, Release...
  • Focus your awareness on your hips and butt, Release...
  • Focus your awareness on your stomach and lower back, Release...
  • Focus your awareness on your left arm and right arm, Release...
  • Focus your awareness on your chest and back, Release...
  • Focus your awareness on your head and face, Release...
Repeat as needed starting back at the feet.
