The Journey of Relaxation

Hello to all I just finished the journey of relaxation and I do feel that this can work for any body who really puts their mind to it. As I was listening to the recording I could feel my hands get warmer but I could not tell that they got heavy and I could not lift them. I do feel a little more relaxed then when I started but I do feel that this type of meditation takes practice. I have done things like this before and it is very hard for me to clear my mind and sit still. I do feel that I could eventually do this if I had time to practice it and make it happen. So maybe eventually I will get the chance to take the time to practice this method and learn how to clear my mind and sit still for more then 15 minutes at a time. However it was a great experience and I know that one day I will be able to do this and it is something that I am looking forward because I know it is something I need to do to help my overall health.

    The relaxation was nice but I could not seem to follow along and retrieve any benefit. I will try again later when I have different event going on with my life. K

      Yes it is a very hard technique for me as well and I am like you I will have to come back to this treatment method later in life when it has slowed a bet and I have more time to spend trying to clear my mind and sit still for more then 2 minutes.

      Hi Jackie! These relaxation techniques do require a bit of practice; however, the benefits are wonderful! I've never been able to take a nap...I simply can't fall asleep in the middle of the day:) A fifteen minute relaxation exercise such as "Journey On" can have a calming effect, while giving an energy boost at the same time!! Remember...practice makes perfect, and keep trying!

    Hi Jackie,

    I am starting to think that when we find the right technique to work for each of us, it will come easy. We need to find the right fit for ourselves. I really enjoyed the youtube videos the professor listed last week before class. I liked the visual aspect of them and I liked that all three had a different style of background music. I agree with Ami that practice makes perfect. and the Journey will be well worth it!

    Happy Blogging my friend :o)

    It can be very hard to clear the mind and take the time to do meditation. I had this experience when I first took this course. I still have a hard time when I am extremely stressed to do my meditation. I still keep working on it because I know it is important. You will get it over time and it is very good for your health. I really enjoy my meditation time and have discovered many different ones I like to use. After this class, you may find others you like to use that fit your needs better. Good luck.

    Hi Jackie,

    I find that meditation works for me because I meditate on the Lord. I meditate on the word of God. This type of meditation brings peace and fulfillment. I have a chatter fre mind when I meditate on God. I am in control of my actions and all stress leaves.
