Visualization and meditation are the two I found most helpful. In class Prof. Kevin had us visualize a ring of energy and follow it as it enveloped and flowed down our body. I got tingles in my arms and hands with that practice, it left me feeling relaxed. Meditation and relaxation are always helpful when I do breathing exercises and focus on what my whole self needs at the time.
I found meditation and visualization to be the two best techniques as well. I love the feeling on tingling in my extremities while doing the meditation, it makes me feel like I am doing the exercise right.
ReplyDeleteIt is great that you felt the benefits from the exercise the professor showed the class. This is how I practice meditation once or twice a week. I too imagine a bright light flowing into my body from as far as possible; i imagine coming from the universe, and let this flow round my body so I am consumed inside a ball of white light. This always energizes and relaxes me at the same time. Do you follow meditation regularly or are you new to this?
ReplyDeleteHi Patty. First off, love your background on your blog. It is relaxing to me in and of itself. Meditation has been proven to assist in the healing process of individuals experiencing illness and individuals who need to be still and allow their inner selves to breathe. I use the breathing exercises throughout the day and especially when I require additional time to let a stressor dissipate out through breaths.
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, I wonder how this exercise could be incorporated into your business endeavors?
Hi Patty I picked the same meditation and vizualization when I am stressed the meditation helps to calm my nerves and overactive mind.Vizualzation helps when Iam one of those crisis where bI feel I just want to disappear and go some where but don't have a vacation planned LOL.
ReplyDeleteI too like breathing exercises, and the great thing is you can do them anywhere and anytime, even if you only have a few minutes. I think so many people feel like they have to devote hours to meditation, but that is not true, you can take just a few minutes a day with your eyes closed, taking deep breaths, and really relax and center yourself.
