The relaxation exercise at:

with the soothing music, low toned narrative, and direction for relaxation did help me to feel me relaxed and reminded me of a technique called grounding that I picked up from a friend. I am not a big fan of the music preferring a cool quiet room to practice breathing techniques, yoga, or meditation and prayer, but to each his own. Guided relaxation is great beginners or when someone is so stressed and caught up in that moment of crazy that even getting started on the wind down process.

Hi Rachel~
ReplyDeleteYou make a good point that those who are more advanced in their technique may be far ahead of the track as they go into relaxation mode. The body works off of memory and by having a good relaxation practice your body will remember where to go. Good blog, I didn't think of it in that perspective.
