Hello and welcome to my classmates that might be viewing my blog! The last few days have been quite stressful for me. Needless to say using this relaxation exercise as well as my yoga was very much needed. I saved this exercise for bedtime as I was having a bit of trouble quieting my mind during my yoga, and bedtime was no different. My first impression of the recording was how soothing the gentleman's voice was. I have used many of these relaxation exercises and if the voices isn't exactly right it becomes too much of a distraction rather than help. Instantly I could feel myself relax as I focused on that one word. Its interesting how just by the power of suggestion and of mind how my body felt heavy and warm and ready for sleep. Following the voice prompts was easy and helpful, it was no time before I was relaxed and off to sleep. My favorite part of this exercise is the deep breathing, as an asthmatic this is something I practice often and is very effective in relaxation and de-stressing. Overall this was a great exercise in relaxation and one I would suggest to others, especially beginners.

Brandy,
ReplyDeleteI too found the relaxation exercise very helpful and with the last few weeks I have endured I will be using the relaxtion exercise much more often. I have a 3 week old, no sleep, school work and lack of money at the moment so the technique will really help me ralax and ease the anxiety I am feeling.
