I am a little behind the eight ball, I apologize for that, but here in my perspective on the relaxation exercise for Unit 2. First I must say it was most relaxing almost to the point of mesmerizing and I felt the narrator had a pleasant-sounding voice and very smooth, like warm honey it was just an open invitation to relax! I pulled out my yoga mat and proceeded to lie down on the floor after chasing my dog from the mat and started to focus. i actually threw a light blanket over me because the room was cool. I focused on my arms, upper torso, neck and shoulders and could almost feel tension dissolving and a distribution of blood flow. I used breathing that I have recently learned with meditation, nose breathing and could feel each breath, the rise and fall of my abdomen with each breath and with this relaxation i actually felt it difficult to move my arms but it was cathartic and it was if the tension and stress were dissolving like warm honey in a cup of hot tea, amazing and exhilarating.
I did similar exercises such as this one years ago in an outward bound group that I attended with a work group for ten days and after doing this exercise I recalled how relaxing it was, we ended each day with this technique so it was great to have this opportunity again. Wonderful for stress reduction!
