We too often are running around with our heads cut off, or so it seems. Life is busy and we often forgo tending to our own needs in order to tend to other matters. Relaxation techniques such as the one we all took part in this week, I found, to be extremely helpful. So often I find myself sitting in the same spot pounding away on the computer with glazed over eyes, and a dry throat. We burden ourselves on a daily basis with a multitude of things we set out to accomplish.
Participating in this exercise brought me relief and I realized once again just how important it is to find time every day for inner reflection and focused intention to relax and ease the body's stress. This in turn brings our attention to the inner-self for reflection.
It was funny to see just hard it was to life the arms once in a deep relaxation state of being. Once I visualized the blood returning to the intestinal track I could feel my arms becoming lighter. After the exercise I felt much like I do after yoga- out for the count, and I didn't have to work at it for an hour to get there! Ten minutes a day of focused intention through meditative breathing and visualization can really make a significant difference in the minds state of health. I truly felt revived afterwards and I had a clear head once again.
