Hi Everyone,
I just want to welcome everyone to following my blog. This class
seems very intriguing and I am excited to delve deeper into human flourishing
and the power our minds truly have. See you on the blogs!
Looking back on the exercise, the sounds were very soothing.
His voice was monotone which was very relaxing. It was difficult to become
relaxed for about the first 30- 60 seconds. After that time period, I was able
to really focus on his words and my breathing. My breathing was very important
to focus on so that my body became relaxed. Overall, the exercise was really
enlightening. I felt rejuvenated afterwards which was a plus.
HI,
ReplyDeleteI agree the class material is quite intriguing. I think we are lucky to have this course presented to us now, when there are so many challenges to our current health system and when we can be influential on this precipice of change.
Hi Staurt:
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your post. I am looking forward to this class. I started the relaxation technique, but had to stop half way through it. It sounds so relaxing. I love the sound of the ocean in the background. Some years ago, I went to the Outer Banks in North Carolina to see my favorite lighthouse and I had a cottage right on the beach so close to the ocean that I could hear it. Now whenever I want to relax, I remember that sound and how calm it made me.
Debbie breathing is very important in relaxation and meditation. I had a friend who just happen to teach Yoga. She was 88 and taught Hatha Yoga. This women did not look a day over 45. I was amazed at the positions her body went into so effortlessly. She said breathing is the key. She recommended breathing deep into your nose, rounding out your belly, hold the breath for a few seconds, and exhale slowly through your mouth. If you had pain in an certain area she would instruct you to focus the breath on the part of the body that was hurt. She was amazing!!!
