Journey on Relaxation Exercise
Voice lead relaxation exercises aren't really my cup of tea. I have used one before that I did like so I guess it's all about finding what works for you. In this particular instance I didn't really like the exercise. The male voice that was used was so soft spoken that I could barely hear him even though my speakers were up all of the way. I do understand why he is speaking softly but it should be so soft that people have to struggle to hear. It didn't take long for me to get distracted and find myself thinking of other things. I kept trying to refocus, but kept failing. Also I don't really like exercises that try to get you to move blood through your body with your mind. I've never felt that it works. Even when I am really focused nothing happens. I had the same outcome with this exercise. Nada. I did get sleepy though, but that's because I haven't been sleeping well, my eyes were shut and I was comfy on my couch so...yeah. I prefer visualization exercises that take me to someplace relaxing with appropriate background noise or exercises that focus on breathing and things I can actually control.

Good Afternoon Chulitaness,
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, I couldn't begin to express my chagrin at the thought of listening to another person try to tell me how to exercise. I believe that, that is what this class is trying to convey. The thought the integral health and its goal of human flourishing works differently for everyone and that this form of meditation doesn't work for all.
I pray that you advance in your journey, Be Well.
