Reflection: Journey on Relaxation

Due to the daily stresses of life, my body has been feeling the unwelcome side effects of tension, especially the back. The tension has been causing restless and many sleepless nights. When I realized the assignment was to listen to a meditation exercise, I eagerly jumped at the possible benefits, and turned off all distractions. The relaxation technique was wonderful. I was able to close my eyes and listen to the calm voice of the instructor, soothing music, my heartbeat,  blood flowing through my veins, and the unfamiliar sensation of muscles uncoiling. I was able to relax my body enough that I fell into a light but restful sleep for an hour. Well, the daily stresses returned, and my body remembers the relaxing experience with fondness.  Now, I have to find time to do it more often.

Welcome

My name is LaVenus, and I am completing my Bachelors of Science degree in Business Administration. I believe that I am going to benefit greatly from this class because I am a believer of alternate healing. Through personal experiences, I have learned that “emotions” can hurt the flourishing of health, just as much as it can heal. I am heart attack survivor, and in search for life improvements and alternate thought processes that would assist with optimal health. I understand the path to optimal health will be a long journey, but with increased knowledge, in-depth soul- searching, and time, I will learn how to flourish.
