As
someone who loves Yoga and meditation, I think the more soothing and comforting
an instructors voice is, the more you can truly relax. It has taken me a long time to learn how to
fully clear my mind, let go of all thoughts, and completely focus on a speaker’s
voice while meditating. While listening
to the journey on relaxation exercise, I was willing to do whatever the speaker
asked me to do to try to get into the deepest relaxation possible. I always find visual imagery and the power of
suggestion amazing. By just completely
focusing, listening to exactly what the speaker asked us to do, and absorbing his
positive mood, I can honestly say I felt more relaxed and energized when the
exercise was over.

Maybe the problem with this exercise for me was the fact that I didn't let my mind go deep enough. Is meditation a deeper relaxation that sleep? If it is, maybe this is why I felt more energized last week when I was actually able to complete the exercise without falling asleep. The only thing I mastered on this exercise was napping.
