"Crime Of The Century"

Crime Of The Century is the name of the relaxation technique I had to complete for class. It was very relaxing. I was suppose to focus on the colors of the rainbow with each color associated with a certain part of my body. If you know what Chakra meditation is then that is basically what we are meditating on. Meditating on each chakra and its color. I was so relaxed it almost put me to sleep a couple times. Normally when I am done I am more refreshed then before but with this one it made me sleepy. Maybe because of the time of day? ( Evening time)
I am suppose to rate where I feel I am in each area; physical well being, spiritual well being and psychological well being on a scale from 1-10 ten being the greatest. Physical-3 Spiritual-7 Psychological-8. Physical is a 3 because I am not in shape as I would like to be, therefore I have recently started working on it. And I have improved my eating habits. No more sugar! My diet is much better now I just need to get in shape. Spiritual is a 7 because I have a lot of faith in my God yet I have a lot of room for improvement, I give a lot of service and take time for my self, not enough but I am working on it. Psychological is an 8 because I have a lot of healthy relationships with friends, family and I have learned to not take things people do personally so I am not attracting that negative thinking. I feel pretty confident in my abilities and I try to lead by example. Some of my goals would be to work out and get fit physically. My goal for this would be to exercise 2-3 times a week. My spiritual goal would be to spend more time in meditation and reflecting on my day and how to be better. This I can do daily. And last is psychological. To improve in this area, I will work harder at understanding people around me better. Also consistent study with my education is a goal I have.

Meditation for Health

I am in a health and wellness class. We were asked to do a meditation and post our results. I am very pleased with my results of this perticular meditation. I did feel relaxed and my arms and hands were the focus of the exercise. My hands and arms felt very heavy and some what warm. Not as much warmth as heaviness. Even after the meditation my hands and arms continued to feel relaxed. I enjoyed the results from this meditative exercise. I will use it again but next time on my neck. I feel a lot of my stress in my shoulders and neck area. Thank you Professor!
