I had a bit of a hard time focusing on the love and kindness mp3. So I didn't get much from it. I had a rough time trying to relax even before I started it. I listened to other pieces to try to relax before trying it. Plus, work has kind of had everyone in an uproar that it was hard to focus. Not sure if I would recommend it since I couldn't enjoy it myself.
Everyone needs a mental workout, it helps us to teach ourselves how to relax and focus on our inner being and wellness, to cut of the mental chatter at night so we get a well rested sleep. Who hasn't woken up tired even after getting at least 8 hours of sleep? Also it's good to meditate to keep your mind in good working order. We get forgetful the older we so exercising the mind could help us with this. After a good meditation I seem to think more clearer and can get a hold of my emotions before they spill out and onto others.

unit 3 feelings
I know with this whole new learning experience I have a long way to go. It's nice to learn about the things that modern medicine does not classify as conventional. I thing physiologically I have a lot to learn about letting things go. I think once I can really figure out both my physiological and spiritual well being my physical well being will get betting. Staying sick is not a fun part of life. I think as I learn to adopt ways of relaxation and meditation I can feel like I can manage myself better than I do now. My daughter pays attention to what I do with my homework this term, but she did ask if this would help with some of my anger issues. :( Ok! I'm a parent, what parent doesn't get mad with their kids when they don't listen or pull their weight with their chores?
I believe I enjoyed this relaxation sound bite. When I woke up about an hour late it was over and I still had my headphones on. I must have really been relaxed or tired so I am going to try it again. I did feel well rested when I got up the next day.

Journey On Relaxation
Good evening, morning or whatever time of day it is you may be reading this! For me it's 2 am on January 10th 2013, off of work at 11 pm home schooled my 13 year old daughter for a couple of hours and home schooling myself.
I am taking Creating Wellness: Psychological and Spiritual aspects of healing. So I had to listen to a relaxation recording and blog about how it made me feel. Best homework ever!!!! I am here to say I feel really good right now when I should honestly be asleep, probably should have waited until I got up later in the day. But I am relax and feeling no stress about completing this assignment.
This recording was teaching me how to think myself into relaxing, power of persuasion. As I listen to the gentle voice through my earphones and repeated in my head what he said as I took my breaths I could feel my body reacting. I had to persuade my body to redirect the blood flow from the center of my body to my arms and hands. I could feel the warmth build in my appendages as I laid on my couch. I could not lift my arms in the middle of this, it was like a heavy blanket had been tossed over them.
I honestly didn't think at first I could do this but it worked. As I came out of the "trance" by redirecting my blood flow back to the center I could feel my hands and arms begin to cool off and the heaviness dissipate. I could then move around and begin to open my eye, feeling like I just woke up from a nice afternoon nap.
I think I am going to do this relaxation technique more because I feel really good right now and relaxed enough to actually fall asleep with ease and maybe not toss and turn all night. I hope my classmates enjoyed this activity and they feel good too.
