Objective • Assess your progress with your relaxation efforts • Assess your progress with your ability to concentrate • Recreate the sensory experience of looking in the mirror and completing a task (shaving, applying makeup, etc.). Preparation You will need some privacy in your bathroom or bedroom to complete this assignment.

______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ The Exercise Now, go to another location. Spend at least 10 minutes relaxing in a chair—as you have been taught. Repeat the process above without the mirror, sink, and hygiene materials. You are not doing this exercise in order to learn to pantomime. Work on reliving each of the specific sensations you recorded above. Do not move on to the next step until you fully recreate each sensation fully and vividly and specifically. Work on this several times for roughly ten-minute intervals. You will be completing this exercise in class, and will be expected to have worked on this significantly at home. You will be guided through each step, and you will be asked to recreate and describe each sensation. Due Date: ________________________________ Reflection [To Be Completed After Your In-Class Performance] Respond to the following prompts sincerely and with specific detail. Keep in mind that sense memory work is intended to be a continual process. You are not learning your times tables; these are exercises not unlike sit-ups or yoga. You continue to develop your ability with no end zone in sight. To achieve any kind of success you must commit yourself to continually working on it. 1)
