Welcome fellow classmates and friends to Week 2 in our Creating Wellness Class. This weeks assignment had us listening to and participating in a relaxation exercise!
In describing the experience, may I first say that I truly opened my mind and allowed the suggestions given to flow in. I did get myself comfortable in my favorite chair and began listening to the soothing voice. I was able to start relaxing and breathing slowly in and out. Throughout the exercise I was able to follow and experience the feel of the blood flow to my arms/hands and feel the warmth and heaviness.
I think by keeping my mind open to truly trying the relaxation exercise it helped to envision and feel the suggestions as they were given. As the exercise indicated, I actually was so relaxed that I didn't want to lift my arms, and frankly didn't even try! At the end I did find myself relaxed, more energized and ready to post my thoughts to my blog.
I found it to be a positive experience. Sandy
