During a four-hour class at NASA, we'll start with the clinical research, to show that there's a reality to it. But then, right away, we do a full-body relaxation, tensing and relaxing the muscles in sequence. Then we do measured breathing. People get in touch with their bodies in a way that they haven't been for a long time. Later, we'll do a guided meditation that includes watching the breath and repeating a phrase to focus the mind.
