The Journey On exercise is a guided relaxation technique that focuses on moving blood from the core of your body into your arms and hands. At first, I felt silly doing the exercise. However, once I got started, it really blew my mind. I was amazed at how the power of suggestion could control my body. In my mind's eye I pictured the blood flowing through my veins. I could feel the warmth spreading down my arms and into my hands and fingers. When it came time to try to lift my arms, I couldn't believe how heavy they were and how much effort it took to try to move them.
The entire exercise really opened up my eyes to how much control we have over our own bodies and how little we utilize or exert this conscious control. Can you imagine what would happen if we found the ability to fully control our minds and bodies. We could produce healing antibodies and send them where they were needed in our bodies. We could increase our own metabolisms, and it's even within the realm of possibility to think this would allow us to stimulate growth of organs and body parts! The possibilities are endless and that gives us hope.
The Journey On exercise seems like it brought home the quote from Naomi Judd, “Your body hears everything your mind says.” Do you think that guided meditation will become part of your health regime?
ReplyDeleteHello Sandra,
ReplyDeleteThe Journey on exercise was a little different from the other meditation video I listened too. Usually they tell you to breath and feel your different body parts to relax. I enjoyed the suggestion to feel your body functioning, the blood flowing. I agree it would be nice to produce and direct the antibodies to help heal our body.
