Throughout this
short exercise, where I listened to a few moments of a relaxation exercise; the
main focus was to allow the body to relax through the mind. By doing so, we learn that our minds control
our entire body. Using the power of our
minds, we can combat stress, fatigue, etc.
I followed the voice throughout the entire session but only felt relaxed
and refreshed. I did not feel the
heaviness in my arms, fingertips as described.
I think, with frequent practice and total body relaxation the arms and
body will feel the heaviness the voice is describing. This is just a typical demonstration to show
us all about the “mind-body connection,” and how they can work to optimize our
health and wellness.

Ed,
ReplyDeleteI thought the exercise was relaxing also. Just has he was saying to imagine the blood flowing to your arms, I was thinking how weird it was that my hands felt warm all the sudden. I didn't feel them being too heavy though. It is amazing that the mind is that powerful towards the body.
