Teaching a Relaxation Course

The irony of teaching relaxation, while experiencing anxiety. For the A-Z Contest

Teaching Relaxation

Taking a deep breath, I begin,
In a trembling voice, to share
The strength that exists from within;
Technique one can use anywhere.
I am nervous, as I stand there,
And yet I believe what I teach.
They think me relaxed, without care;
Truly, I practice what I preach!
