Hello,
My name is Teal and this is my first social media experience. I don't facebook, blog, or twitter. My topic was chosen by my class instructor: responding to a relaxation exercise.
The first time I listened to Journey On, my nephew who is 5 yrs old, refused to stay out of my room. Every couple of minutes he was either playing with one of the dogs or telling me about something that happened. I finally decided to wait until he went to bed. I tried to listen again and the dogs started to act up, so I had to stop and put them in the den. Finally I was able to sit still and go on the journey.
This was a very relaxing journey and I could feel the heaviness lift from my body. The feeling of well-being was expected, but the energy wasn't. Generally these mind trips just leave me feeling calm and at peace with my surrounding, but after about 5 mins I was ready to move around and get stuff done. I was a rather pleasant surprise.
Hi Teal,
ReplyDeleteThat's cool you felt so energized. I felt super sleepy until he said to tell yourself you feel energized. After I told myself that a couple of times I wasn't as tired, but still extremely relaxed. I wouldn't start the day with it! But I agree it was definitely pleasant.

Hi Madeline,
DeleteSorry it took so long to get back with you, but I am new at this. I got an email about your blog and it reminded me that I need to check this too. I am sure the technique relaxed you, but for some reason, most of them have the opposit affect on me. I get energized but then I sleep like a baby. The same thing happens with sleeping pills. I am wide awake for 3 - 4 hours after taking them, and then I fall to sleep and rest for 7 or 8 straight hours. Thanks for your post.
