Journey of Relaxation

Ok, so first just let me say that I am the most sarcastic person in the world so when I began this exercise I was laughing hysterically! I am a person who is an avid cardio exercise person and cannot do yoga. I'm really not that person that can relax and take this seriously......so I thought. After my laughing episode, I tried to really take this seriously. I began to really listen to what the man was saying. The music was very soothing and not at all distracting. The descriptions really helped in my opinion. I did not know that 80% of our blood is in our GI tract. As I tried to listen to what he was saying and visualize the redistribution of blood to my extremities (I'm laughing right now), I could actually feel it. I don't know if it was actually happening but I swore I felt it; was this working??!! Needless to say I finished and I felt a lot more calm and relaxed. Though I did feel better, I cannot see myself doing this on a daily basis but maybe on as "as needed" basis. After completing this I really feel that it is possible to train your body to what you want it to do with work....and maybe laugh along the way.
