Help with stopping images when going into physical relaxation

[John N]

Does anybody have any recommendations for stopping images?

Thought words can be a problem aswell sometimes, but it's mainly images that are tensing my body up. I get images of people who have attacked me, and my body tenses up and messes with my relaxed state and energy.

I can force my self through it and end up in a relaxed state anyway, but it can be quite a hassle when I initially start the relaxation.

I appreciate any recommendations.
