It. is good to achieve mental relaxation and calm during the mental exercises. But we want more than this. We want the calm and ease of mind to carry through in all the aspects of our everyday life. So once we have mastered the relaxation of our body and the relaxation of our mind, the next step is to consciously sustain the feeling of mental relaxation. At first it is easiest to practise this when we are doing relatively simple things, such as walking slowly along the street. During the course of the day when we have to pause or wait for something, we can consciously practise our exercises by allowing ourselves to recapture the feeling of relaxation of our mind. Although we have to do this consciously at first, we soon find that it comes naturally of its own volition. Gradually this ease of mind begins to penetrate all through us, as it were, so that it is with us in all that we do.
