Greetings
This is my reflection for Unit2,
I actually took the time to experience the Journey On Relaxation recording. The way things were going I wanted to see how I would benefit (I’m always welcoming ways to diminish stress). The autogenic technique that we were using was helpful. My days are so full and my mind is pulled in so many directions, that I find it hard to quite it down, or make it still when its time to relax or idle down. This method was helpful because it gave my mind something to do. It only had one task to perform. My mind was still, not in the sense of no movement or function, but it was a nice steady stream that was pointed in one direction or purpose at a time. My mind my have started to wander off once or twice, but it was good that the exercise was guided. It was able to leave it in a direction, or task, for a long enough duration to notice a response (or change). The time spent was welcomed, and it did ease my night and helped me to sleep better. Now I need to continue working out with this mental exercise, so I’m able to focus the stream throughout the day.
Thanks for your time
Kevin
Hi Kevin,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your posting. The relaxation exercise, “The Crime of the Century” was great for me also. But I found myself becoming frustrated because I could not stay focus on the exercises. Once I stop trying to do what the tape was telling me to do and just listen to the exercise my body became totally relax and I felt myself falling to sleep couple of times. The other times my mind became totally blank and my body became motionless. Once the exercise was over I was able to follow the last instructions to slowly open my eye so I could refocus myself with my surrounding. Then I slowly recline my chair to an upward position and I felt so refresh and I was able to stay up for another 2 hours more…..dorothy
