subtle mind
I really got into this one, more so than the loving kindness one. It was almost as if I could fall asleep at any moment. My body got tingly, then heavy, then relaxed. I would get so relaxed that her voice would almost scare me back into consciousness again. Very relaxing, but I'm kind of feeling drained if that makes any sense to anyone. I'm going to try it again to see what the outcome is a second time. You can definitely see the mind-body connection through this exercise. I was completely relaxed and "clear"(at the end). The beginning I had trouble keeping thoughts from interrupting what I was trying to do. Definitely better than last weeks. Too many problems to think about.

Hey, I am glade you had such a great response to this one! and it's like the two are so differnt but yet in the end still the same.
ReplyDeleteI too found the pauses a bit too long. It was so cool to have that kind of reaction to the exercise. Of the two which one do you like better? I find this one was a bit easier to follow than the other one.
ReplyDeleteHey Brenda!
ReplyDeleteIt great that you felt a lot better about this one! If I could get past the long delays as well, I could probably give this one two thumbs up! Were you able to relate to this one better than the loving-kindness?
I am glad you found relaxation with this exercise. You are right, we you said when you find something that works you share it. You also tend to use it more. It does feel good when you can relax.
ReplyDeleteI also found this one to better than last week. I loved that there were long pauses and lots of waves to focus on with our breathe. I think you felt weird because maybe you haven't let yourself become that relaxed before. I don't know that's just my opinion.
