This will be my first real post on this blog and my exercise was to listen to a relaxation track and then write about my experience. I started the track and decided to sit on the couch which to me would be the most comfortable place. I had to close my eyes and take a deep breath and then relax on the exhale. I did this a few times and it took quite a few times to actually relax. I have a hard time sitting still in silence so needless to say this was not easy. The narrator said that I would be using my mind to move the blood that was in my abdomen to other parts of my body. As much as I tried I found this very difficult although after a few tries I kind of felt something. I’m still not sure at this point if I am doing this right since I really haven’t experienced what other students are stating. Could this just simply be something I am not able to do? I am beginning to wonder and I am getting disappointed so I decided to stop and try again later. This time was better as I felt the blood flowing a little more to different parts of the body. So I guess I did it right but I surely don’t feel as though I experienced what others did. Maybe next time…..

ReplyDeleteIt takes practice. Focus on your breathing. Try it at night when you're ready to settle down for the evening or before you get up and start your day in the morning. You'll get it.
