Journey on Relaxation

My experience with the Journey on Relaxation was a very pleasant one, I fell asleep.  The visual of sending your blood from your abdomen to your arms and hands was amazing, they felt very relaxed; my fingers felt warm and when he prompted me to, I was unable to lift my arm it was so relaxed.  I have to admit that when I do meditation or relaxation exercises I usually end up sleeping, especially when the voice with the relaxation exercise is soothing, which they usually are.

    Hi Tamara The same thing happens to me when I use meditation. The sleepness. This is not the case for me when I use Autogenics. I am fully consious, and alert. Finding just the right tecnique for each person I believe is key. Good luck on your journey! It is worth it. P.S. your smile is a healing in itself :)

    This seems to be the consensus everyone fell asleep listening to the exercise. Were you lying down while lisitening to the exercise?

    Tamara,

    How long did you end up sleeping after the exercise? Did you hear the part where the speaker prompted you to focus on the activities you had to do after the completion of the relaxation exercise? I'm guessing not. :-) Good for you! Thanks for sharing your experience, as it seems to be much the same as many of the others!

    Tamara,
    I also felt very relaxed after listening to the track. While I didn't fall asleep, I didn't feel nearly as stressed out as I did prior to listening. I use guided meditation regularly to keep myself focused and help with stress. I had a hard time initially shutting my mind off and just relaxing when I first started listening to meditations but I have come a long way!

    Hi Tamara,

    That is really great that you were able to get so much out of the activity!

    Good for you!
