I truly believe myself to be generally a very relaxed person so I didn’t expect any noticeable results from this relaxation assignment. However, I decided to go into this with an open mind and when it was over I felt far more relaxed than I was before I started the exercise and I felt very relaxed before I began. I’m not sure I’m convinced that my blood flow was redirected to saturate my muscles with blood like water to a sponge and my arms never seemed heavy when I tried to lift them but there is no arguing with the results. Although I felt relaxed before doing this, I was many times more relaxed when it was over; in fact I fell asleep the first time and had to start over because I missed almost the entire presentation. I think I’m going to try it a few more times as it was difficult for me to truly quiet my mind despite dozing off I don’t think I was as focused as I should have been for optimal results. Anyway, I felt really good after the exercise the first time I did it so it’s a reasonable assumption that the better I get at it, the better I’ll feel as a result. I look forward to reading the rest of the class’s experiences in this exercise.

Did you know that mind help us in healing the body As we focusing on our emotions which are important to healing of any disease anxiety, stress, and other mental factors play a role in disease. If the mind is not healthy the body will not be, we have to work our way from the soul out in healing. Reducing stress has been proven to elevate many health problems for people. Meditation and Yoga are good stress relievers and will reduce anxiety in the mind and body. Great post.
ReplyDeleteHi Jay! I have had similar experiences in meditation. I ended up loving it, but I found it supremely difficult to sort of shut my brain off to let me relax, once I did though...I conked out! It was not quite the exact desired result, but I was most assuredly more relaxed than when I started, so I suppose it worked even though I did not feel any additonal clarity in my thoughts.
