The two for me
For me I think the two practices that I find most beneficial would be the subtle mind practice and rainbow meditation. While I would like to find the time to do both practices everyday, I do make time for the rainbow meditation after every workout. I find that when I combine it with my exercises that it helps "restore" my body/mind back to a calm state so that I am able to finish my day with a minimal amount of stress. When things get really hectic and I start going through bouts of insomnia, I practice the subtle mind techniques learned in class. I bought a CD with some of these practices on it, and play it while I'm lying in bed. I follow its "guided tour" and it no time flat I am falling asleep. Even though I may have had only a few hours of sleep before I have to get up, I feel restored as if I've had a full eight hours. It's hard to choose only two practice that are beneficial but I've found for me personally I am more calm, able to think more clearly, and physically able to preform task I normally would have dreaded. I know that I will use these techniques and practices for the rest of my life.

Hey Barbara!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you have found some form of comfort in the rainbow and subtle mind techniques. I think its great that you have adopted an exercise in which you believe will help restore you to your natural health and sense of well-being after a stressful day. Wishing you the very best in your future techniques! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Barbara
ReplyDeleteI think its great that you have made time to incorporate the rainbow meditation into your daily regime. Finding a technique that helps you to feel restored and calm (and to be aware of it) means you are "in-tune" with what you need to feel balanced. I sometimes find it a challenge to figure out what it is I need to get back to a balanced place.
Hi Barbara,
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you have been able to find ways to incorporate the rainbow meditation and working out together. What a great way to bring that mind/body connection together. I even feel a little sense of motivation to try that for myself!
Thank you for sharing!
I also have problems with insomnia. I have found meditation to be beneficial as well. It doesn’t always work, but for the most part I fall right to sleep. I have learned so much from this class and the stress management class. I am really glad to be part of such a great experience with great people.
