My Journey to Relaxation

Hello everyone, I hope y'all are having a great labor day weekend. I know I am, it's been pretty chill so far. Football, beer, queso dip, it don't get any better than that my friends.

So for my experience with the Journey on Relaxation exercise it was really interesting. At first it was very hard for me to totally relax (relaxing really isn't my thing). Then I found myself just totally focused on what he was saying. I don't know if it was the tone of his voice or the soft melody lingering in the backround but whatever it was I found myself relaxed. Then following what he said I could actually feel what he was describing. The blood running from my shoulder to my hands to the tips of my fingers making them warm and heavy like a sponge. I could feel each beat of my heart and follow the blood traveling. Everything became very mellow but vivid, I could feel every sensation, it was amazing. The coolest part was when he said to come to realize your surroundings and i opened my eyes I wasn't tired. Usually if I sit for to long I fall asleep. This was a great experience I will definately be doing this more often, I felt great!

    Hey there Felicia, you sound like a fun, country girl. It’s nice to be able to interact through this blog system. It seems more personal and makes the experience that much better. I think it’s very normal that you don’t find it easy to relax. It is nice to be able to relax because we are told to, because if we weren’t told, doing something as simple as relaxing becomes a chore in our busy lives. Other ways I like to relax is sitting outside. When it is hot, it takes my relaxation to a new level. Just being outside or in nature eases my mind. I wish you luck in finding more time to relax. Happy Labor Day Weekend.
