To start off I am not really sure why this exercise was called Crime of the Century. It was a relaxation exercise that focused on the shakra's of the body and realizing that our bodies are like a prizm. This exercise focused on those areas and had us imagine a colored light eminating from the body. This was in addition to thinking or saying out loud a phrase of affirmation. I found that going through the exercise and trying to relax at the beginning was a bit difficult. We had just eaten dinner as a family and my oldest had his girlfriend over to the house. I also had a slight tickle in the back of my throat to I was coughing a bit at the begining. There were a couple distractions from my children in asking me questions yet once this was past I was able to finish the exercise. I am not really sure how much of the actual visualization or affirmations I accessed on a deeper level yet I do know that at the end of the exercise I was very relaxed and took a small cat nap. Taking time out of our hectic lives is often forgotten and doing more quiet times like this can have a profound positive affect on our psychological well-being.

Jonathan,
ReplyDeleteI too had a hard time relaxing during this exercise. I had a lot of distraction going on the day that I did this exercise. I had just fired my first person since takin over my store and it was eating me up inside. My 3 year old was running around interrupting me every time I got started. My husband too was no very helpful this time. Every time I would start the exercise he would say something so I couldn't relax or he would say oh that is so stupid, what are you doing or something. He was very annoying that day. I hope next time I am able to really enjoy this exercise.
Jonathan,
ReplyDeleteI find this exercise to relaxing for me due to the voice they use. I have never known the art of catnapping so I do not want to fall asleep in the middle of the day. I guess I could limit my use of this exercise to before bed so that way I could fall asleep directly after. I have recorded this visualization exercise in my own voice (previous course)and find it easier for me to use without feeling like falling asleep.
