Hello again!

I hope this message reaches everyone in good spirits. It has been a wonderfully long day with rain showers and clouds but even in the wetness of the day there is a bright feeling in my heart. After work and dinner before coming to Thoughts for wellness, I took a peaceful moment to experience " a journey of relaxation". This was like a guided relaxation technique with a soothing male voice and soft musical tones in the background. I found the experience to be very pleasant and quite relaxing. Focusing on a periodic deep breath and guiding my mind to have the blood flow of my body (specifically abdominal area) to go to my arms and hands was interesting to experience. I really could feel the heaviness of my arms and tingling in my fingers while doing this exercise. Twice I felt myself kind of jolt a little because I had relaxed too much (it was a long day) and I did this all very comfortably in a chair with headphones on. I think something like this would be good to do daily if not several times a day. It didn't take long but helped to clear my mind because I was focused on listening to the instructions I was given. I have meditated before and I like something like this because I am able to relax and better clear my mind because I felt the voice, music and instructions that were given were all done in a manner that I liked. I would do this again for sure.

  1. Sounds like you had a wonderful relaxing evening. I noticed that you enjoyed a rainy day. I enjoy rain also, especially living in AZ, in the dessert where it rarely rains. Rain is like magic and smells so good when it happens here. Some look at rain as something that makes a day dreary. Nice blog.
