Welcome

Greetings all.

I would like to begin with my welcome statement, and after some thought I have decided that my welcome statement will be "Namaste". Namaste everyone. The word comes from India and is a common salutation. The literal transaltion for this word is "I bow to you". So, I bow to everyone visiting my blog.

I must admit I am still a little uncomfortable with this new territory. To me it feels too much like a diary, and I never liked diaries. In fact, this diary is not in a book with a nifty lock on it, this one is out in cyberspace for the entire world to see. I am just glad this is something for school, because if it wasn't I would never be able to continue.

I just finished listening to the relaxation exercise. I must say the man's voice is very relaxing. However, after listening to him for about 5 minutes I totally lost interest. It all began to sound like noise. The only thing that got me through the entire audio was the background noise. It kind of reminded me of an old 1980s late night Cinemax film. You know one of those very weird class B movies. I usually do not need to do this much in order to relax. I usually like to daydream to relax when I am not at home. While at home all I need to do in order to relax is lay down in my bed. So relaxed, in fact, that I fall asleep. I will say this, after the relaxation audio I was less than energized, I was more so relieved that it was over.

  1. Hi again Sean,

    Lol I agree the relaxation exercise was a bit unusual and a challenge to stick with. My relaxation comes from those around me. If I can just have my wife and kids safe in the house, watching movies, playing with our puppies, and listening to some good uplifting music I am good to go. However, I have to admit that the most relaxing is when it's just me and my wife. Nothing beats that!

    Great post,

    Felix

  2. I was also relieved it was over!! Give me a audio of waves on a shore and a dim room and I'm toast.. I think being guided with a voice ( especially this guy's voice) is not the best option of me. I didn't mind the background music, but think that maybe a Native American audio track might have been better.. or maybe just nature sounds..

  3. I find i funny you fell asleep. I actually could not movem I was so content. My arms were just like rubber, and my mind was like, nope, your not moving..you stay right there! Yea, I agree, the music was very retro to say the least, but not to bad for relaxing.
