Unit 2 Relax!
Hello all, this is my first experience with blog use. I'll give it a try! After listening to this unit's relaxation journey exercise I was reminded how important it is to simply sit, still yourself mind nd body and attempt to relax. Just breathe and be. The journey recording itself became a bit too wordy and scientific for me, but I enjoyed the general idea behind it and the way I was reminded that I am in control of my physical body. I can control the way I deal with stress. It is important to take time for simply myself. I am a busy full-time working ER nurse, a mother to three amazing boys and a wife. It is easy to lose sight of treating myself to a few moments of mediation and relaxation. This weeks course work and reading was interesting. I am going to try to align my mind and body for better health! I work out at the gym and my job is very physical (both mind and body), but I need to try to incorporate better relaxation, mediation into my routine.

I didn't think the exercise was too wordy, but I have only listened to a couple of these in my lifetime. However, I can see why it wouldn't be relaxing if you thought it was too wordy and scientific. I was also skeptical about redirecting blood flow; I was sure I would not be able to do it. To my surprise, I actually did though, and I could feel the temperature increase as well as a feeling of heaviness in my hands? Did you notice any of those changes?
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a fairly good relaxation exercise but the narrator did speak a lot, which made relaxing a little difficult for me at first. I do better during relaxation exercises with waves crashing on the beach or the sound of wind whistling through the trees. Perhaps that is due to the fact that I live on an island, and hear these sounds continuously? It sounds like you are a very busy person and need to schedule in some relaxation time!
