Journey to Relaxation

First of all, I have to tell you that as a mother of two toddlers, I don't get the chance to relax as much as I would like.  Once I put my headphones on and laid my head back the music began and I was already relaxed before he even started talking!  Just to have a chance to sit in quiet was all I needed to relax : )  But, this exercise really did work for me.  As he told me to tell me hands and arms to relax I could feel them get warmer and I also felt a tightening in my abdomen.  They felt very heavy, and just like he said, I didn't want to lift them.  When I told me hands and arms to return the blood back to the abdomen, I could feel my abdomen get "fuller" and my arms didn't seem so heavy anymore.  It never ceases to amaze me how powerful the mind is!

  1. Haddie,
    Isn't it amazing to feel like that? I know that the other night my head was hurting really bad and I did the visualization of the bloodflow going to my neck and head. The headache didn't go completely away, it was from hunger, but it was greatly reduced, enough so that I was able to eat. Great stuff!
