I tried to listen to the recording of the relaxation section...sorry but it just made me giggle. I have tried different times of day. I guess it is the guy that is talking through out the tape. I did try...so with that in mind I decided maybe it was just him talking that I could not be serious about, so for the sake of my peace of mind...I tried one of my own. I have several...Celtic music of the highlands, the Sioux tribe of the Dakotas, and wolf magic. I was able to find more of my inner peace, place to relax and enjoy the sounds with out thinking of all of the demands of my life, day, and roles that I participate in daily.
I must confess my kitties thought it was fun time with my head phones attached ! They were thinking ..hey I have found a new toy! After calming everyone...I was able to relax a bit...not as good as a good day of fishing on the river...but that is just me!
Jeni,
ReplyDeleteIt is just amazing that you were able to follow through the instructions and found your inner self.I have never been fishing and it is interesting to see that the fishing experience for you was more relaxing than the technique. I guess we are all wired differently.
David,
DeleteI find fishing very relaxing..always have. The out door experience, the running of the water over a fall and you and the pole in the water...you are able to clear your mind and let the cares of the day go
Hi Jeni,
ReplyDeleteI think that the approach for relaxation is different for everyone. The recording did happen to help me and almost every step of the way, I felt exactly how he stated I would feel. I had to laugh at myself a little because I was focusing more on my right arm than my left so I felt a little off balance, but good. I definitely think that your mind has to be open and in the right place for it in order to get the full effects. Thanks for sharing, Jacqui
Jacqui,
DeleteI think you are right about relaxation is different for everyone. I used to play a CD for my daughter after my divorce. It helped her relax and let her cares go...it helped me by not having to focus of the problems that I was experiencing at the time...Now I enjoy the sounds of nature up close by going fishing...with my hubby (new One) and some conversation with my hubby about the events of the day
Hey Jeni! I am happy to find someone who felt the same way I did about the relaxation technique. I couldn't get past the voice hurrying me along! I felt like I was being interrupted; although some of his techniques worked very well. I also got better results creating my own relaxation guide. I think everyone needs their own personalized environment to accomplish true relaxation!
ReplyDeleteNot saying that the techniques do not work...I just could not get over the voice...maybe I should try it again I suppose but I really had to take to many breaks to the bathroom from laughing so hard!
DeleteI have my own that i have used over the years, but I still go back to nature...and fish or even work in my flower garden..
