      Relaxation Issues

      I've experienced SP one time before, like 3 months ago, and have had about 7 lucid dreams since then, most being from normal dreams, only one was a WILD.

      Ever since then I've been trying to achieve SP again, yet its never happening. I follow all the steps and rules, I know what to do, but my mindset is messed up. Whenever I tell myself to relax, I start to feel my heartbeat, then my pulse increases a bit and I just have trouble relaxing.

      I have tried the 61 point relaxation thing with success the 1st time, but nothing after that. What I hate is how when I think of taking in deep, calm, relaxing breaths, my pulse goes up... think I should not focus on my breath. One thing I do notice is that when I breathe very very lightly, I get relaxed, but afterwards my heart rate goes up.

      Also, I don't think of other stuff while focusing on my breathe, I just think of my breathe and that's it... am doing something wrong... Maybe I'm just scared lol....any suggestions?

      Just try to breathe how you normally would, but concentrate on it. Your heart rate might go up, but that will be because you are thinking about your heart. I do this a lot too. It can make me paranoid that I'm going to have a heart attack sometimes, lol. If you just keep trying to forget about your heart and relax, you eventually will, and may or may not enter SP.

      Keep trying though.
