My journey on relaxation

Well for myself relaxation is few and far between. I am always thinking and moving. So for the first few minutes I had to get past the annoyance I felt having to stop and actually relax to experience this journey. To many other thoughts crossed my mind the first few minutes. Thoughts such as "really, I have to sit here for 15 minutes when I have so much homework I need to get done and barely enough time to do it" my next thought was " I need to be doing so many other important things". Finally I just gave in to the assignment about five minutes into the auto program. Once I laid down and thought about what was being asked I began to feel the tension and blood flow redirect to where I was thinking about. It almost seemed as though I could fall asleep while my arms felt like they were pinned down beside me. My arms felt heavy and weighted and relaxed, my heart was steady and strong. I did not experience the warmth however. It opened my mind to allowing my thoughts time to slow down and realize the affect I can actually have. That this is not actually a waste of time, but can be beneficial in times of stress. Relax, breathe, ask my body to do what I need it to. I am surprised that it was so easy for me to relax once I gave into the meditation. Once I asked the blood to redirect to my core center I imagined a wave like image flowing gracefully through out my veins and re-centered my blood flow back to wear it came from and dispensing throughout my body. It was a interesting and intriguing experience. Maybe this meditation and relaxing technique will be a beneficial interruption to my daily hectic routines.
