Reflective Statement
Wow, that was an amazing relaxation practice we did! That was so cool! :) I closed my eyes and listened and I was gone. I actually felt my feet relax when I sent my blood to relax my feet! they got warm and comfy. When I was told to focus on my arms and hands, me feet got cold! I wanted to send it back to my feet, but followed the voice. I know when he was talking about the arms and hands, they felt warm. I focused more on my hands because the like the tingling feeling that came with it. I could feel the excitement. When he stated to lift them, I couldn't and didn't want too! Crazy huh? I was so comfy and warm in my hands. I actually felt the warms go out of my hands when he said to send it back to your center! My hands got cold and I could move them! Wow, that shocked me! I believe in meditation but never really got the time to do it and that was amazing! I want to experience more!

Hi Dee,
ReplyDeleteIt is so wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the exercise and that you are now motivated to try more. I, myself, had tried to do it, but got past the first two minutes before 2 of my children needed me. I will have to attempt it tonight, when they fall asleep...the problem is, I usually fall asleep when they do, just from sheer exhaustion of taking care of them all day and trying to get other things done. As I type this, I am preparing dinner and nursing :) Anyway, I really enjoy guided imagery exercises for relaxation. I have a hard time meditating on my own, as I often lack focus. It is only effective (to me) though, if you can do it in a quiet environment, free from screaming children. I do look forward to completing this exercise...your description definitely is motivating. I know I am desperate need of it!
Devery,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that your first experience was so amazing! I've done many guided imagery sessions both on my own with cd's and in groups, and as long as you are open and willing to listen and try, they can be super beneficial! I have a few cd's from Bellaruth Naperstek (if I spelled her name right) that are focused on health and healing with guided imagery, positive affirmations, and meditation. They're amazing!
