Hello Class,
I hope that I am doing all of this correctly. I am very new to this blogging stuff but am looking forward to it all (since it does seem to be a new hype) now I can get in on all the new happenings going on in the world : )
I actually enjoy doing practices like the Journey on Relaxation exercise. I can very easily get into these things and hope we will do more as assignments, I mean probably the best assignment to do.
This exercise was awesome and I learned a lot from it even. I never knew that as our body is at a state of rest that 80% of your blood supply resides in your abdominal cavity. This is great because before the exercise I had a horrible headache due to being so tense. I also have TMJ so my jaw tends to clench and get really sore which causes the headaches. I was able to relax my whole body and get rid of my headache. I am going to make my husband try this as well as he always has sore shoulders and back
Hi Ashley,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great experience you had - awesome. This kind of relaxation exercise, called "autogenic training" or "progressive relaxation" can be so powerful for pain relief. Sounds like that's what happened for you, excellent! You can practice this everyday :)
