The exercise for this week was a little different for me. I beleive that I was able to calm and relax a little bit more than last time. With relaxation and focus on my body and my inner conscious I was able to come to a baseline where I was able to focus on my mind and it's ability to just sit still. In the previous mp3 I was not able to settle down my mind. I felt as if I was going to explode. I beleive that the thought of thinking about someone who is close to you is a little harder than I thought because I was not able to focus on the good things. I was more worried about the bad things that were happening at the time.
With this exercise this week, I found that the waves, the flute playing and just the over all sound of a woman's voice was more calming to me than a mans voice. I was able to connect with my mind and realize that I have all the control to change things in my life and with my body. It was kind of interesting. With the loving kindness mp3 I was able to connect with my mind and body a little more extensively due to the relaxation and that idea that it was possible. I too beleive that through this course I have found more of an understanding of my body and how my mind,body connection is worth.
With the subtle mp3 I started to fall asleep and was not able to concentrate, I feel that I did a much better job this time around and I didn't fall asleep.
Celia you will find that having these exercises helps in our daily lives. I use these exercises daily and in between my clients. It helps me stay focused and I am able to help the client and myself. Being positive also helps in concentrating and making the inner self strong. Keep up the good work and you will find the next level.
ReplyDeleteHi Celia I agree that it is hard to relax at times yet with focusing on the breathing the riasing and lowering of the chest or the in out breathing seems to make it easier to gain that state of calmness. For me it seems that when I settle down to do these exercises I start to relax and I too want to fall asleep but once the music, the sounds, and the voice starts I can't fall asleep I am able to enjoy the quiet time.
