Good Evening All,
I had a long weekend. My Steelers have showed that "they can do the dang thing".. (yeah love football) and my rival team the Patriots showed that yes even at the razor they can get it... (laughing really hard)
Okay so I wantd to tell you about my expeience with the journey on exercise... I said last time that I was going to use this track instead of my regular guided meditation cd. So my problem intially was where my computer was I do not have enough space for my yoga practice and since I was going to use it at the begining and end of my practice I needed to be able to start and stop it without a lot of moving around. So I needed my son to show me how to get the track from the link and put it on a cd and then I could put it in the cd and use it at will. I must say that the voice was very relaxing and that I would use it again. It did differ from the cd I usually use because the melodic tone of his voice was much different than the chimes and bamboo flutes that are used on my cd. I think that this is a positive attestment to the validity of guided meditation, following the sound of the voice. I have always been a person that loves to hear someone read, it has always relaxed me. I think that the next level of my "self discovery experience" I am going to record my own voice . I have read before about this but that was years ago so I am going to look for those articles and try that approach. I am sure that if the mind and body responds to someone elses voice and words of positivity, it would surely respond to your own voice...
Overall, my sitting meditation was great using the journey on exercise...
Looking Forward to Growing

Hi Jamilah,
ReplyDeleteI also have tried other methods for relaxation and they did not work as well as this one. I was amazed by how I felt afterwards. I definitely think it was the man's voice that helped with the relaxation. I liked it so much that after doing the exercise, I downloaded it onto my ereader for my 13 hour flight back to LA. I hope it works as well as it did on Sunday!
Hey! How are you this week?
ReplyDeleteGreat idea of copying it to a CD!!! I think I should have my husband do that for me so that I can use it!
I like the idea of recording your own voice as well! Then you could even add in things to assist you in relaxation.
I found the journeyon assignment as incredibly relaxing. I have been having blood pressure issues with my pregnancy and decided to see if there was a large difference in BP after doing this exercise. It was amazing. It went from 140/86 to 130/78 just from listening to and relaxing to this recording. Maybe I just needed a break to sit and relax, but it was helpfull! I said to one of the other students that they should market this to people with blood pressure issues!
Have a great week! Sara
