The key to understand relaxation is to see that relaxation is about supplying energy to something.
It is counter to our common understanding which is to think that to be relaxed means to be devoid of energy. To be devoid of energy is to be depleted, not relaxed.
When our body is depleted we are either aching all over and very agitated or totally limp. Neither of these two are to be relaxed. When our mind is devoid of energy it is so agitated that it or we just can't stop thinking.
Further to this discussion there is relaxation on several different levels.
There is relaxation of the body, of the mind, of the psyche, of the soul and of the spirit.
For each of these parts to be relaxed certain food or energy must be given to each part. That is a different energy for each part and an energy that is in sync with the nature of the part.
To relax the spirit we must give fulfillment of deep purpose. Spiritual work producing transformation. For the psyche ethical and correct conduct in the spheres of thought, feeling, action and word. For the mind transmutation and focus coming from no-thinking. For the body attention, awareness, breathing and transmutation.
In general, relaxation all occurs by giving attention, awareness, breathing and transmutation which are all energies.
