Unit Two Post
My experience with the Journey On Relaxation was pretty positive. I have noticed that when I am trying to relax that noises or distractions are felt more deeply than normal. For example I remember something happening that startled me and I felt what must have been my bodies initial reaction signal that can lead to fight or flight if a threat is detected, it felt like a chemical stab in my chest. Other than that I found the exercise to work at relaxation. I was very amused and happy when I found my arms too heavy to lift when I got to that part of the exercise. I came out of it early though because my eye was bothering me. I really need to get my husband into these exercises. He has actually said he needs help with relaxing and these quick relaxation exercises would probably be really beneficial to both of us, but probably more to him (I am healthier). Finding the time and quiet is always the clincher. I hope the rest of you had a good experience with these. I'm glad the stress class and this one has introduced me to these.

I am sort of the same as you in that noises distract me easily...but also my thoughts distract me as well. At some point I trailed off thinking about not wanting to go back to work tomorrow! I was able to get back to the exercise though and I was also surprised that my arms felt heavy and warm.
ReplyDeleteIt usually takes a little bit of time to learn how to ignore distractions. Noise is usually all around and you can try to ignore, but perhaps work on trying to find the silence that is out there. And when you find quiet moments that sporadically happen during the day, you learn to appreciate silence.
