Journey on Relaxation Exercise
The
Journey on Relaxation exercise is very relaxing and soothing to listen to. The
music and the instructor’s voice in this exercise are very calming and
relaxing. The autogenic training technique, where you can actually suggest how
your body feels, can really help you to relax. I wasn’t sure if this was going
to work but after putting my headphones on and sitting in a quiet place, this
exercise really helped me to relax. I could feel my muscles relaxing and my
mind begin to let go of my troubles of the day. Once the exercise was over I
felt like my mind was in a better place and my body was not as tense. The
stress just seems to go away. I would use this exercise again to help me to relax.
Just by thinking that you are relaxed can increase the blood flow to those
areas. I feel that this exercise would be great to listen to after a long day
at work, or just a stressful day in general. The mind is a powerful tool that
we can use to help heal and keep our bodies healthy.
Hello Jennifer:
ReplyDeleteGreat blog. I have to agree with you the mind is a powerful tool. I wonder how many other people know that? I too felt relaxed and could feel my muscle relaxing as I did this exercise. Do think the music and the instructor's voice played an important role in the relaxation technique? Is this a technique you would recommend to someone else?
~Thanks Roxanne
Hello Jennifer and Roxanne,
DeleteJennifer, I enjoyed reading your experience, and I love the colors and design you chose for your blog!
Roxanne, your comment about wondering how many people realize what a powerful tool the mind is got me thinking about the tension. The old saying about walking into a room and being able to "cut the tension with a knife"is well known. Maybe the power of the mind to create positive change needs to be propagated with catch phrase, too.
Thanks, Misti
Thank you Roxanne and Misti for your comments. Roxanne, I don't think that people realize how powerful the mind really is. I think that sometimes when people only think negative thoughts because negative things keep happening to them, that maybe if they thought more positive thoughts that positive things would happen. I do think that, for me, the music and the tone that the instructor used helped me to feel relaxed. I would recommend this to someone else, although this may not make everyone feel relaxed.

ReplyDeleteI always have a hard time with relaxation tools like this one. I can't seem to let go of my mind. I know I need to learn to. I just can't seem to let my mind just go, I am always thinking of what I should be doing, working on homework or house work is usually what is going trough my mind. I think relaxing the mind is very important and I need to just let these things work, but easier said then done.
Hi Jennifer!
ReplyDeleteI loved this exercise! I so needed it today and what a difference it made on my mind and body! I mentioned in my Blog that I do this type of technique in yoga class which I attend weekly and it has made a world of difference in my life! I look forward to learning more about you through the class! Great Blog!
