Most Beneficial Practices

I found the Journey on Relaxation exercise and the Subtle Mind meditation to be the most beneficial for myself. People have always said it is hard for me to relax. However, with the Journey on Relaxation exercise I felt more relaxed for the first time than I had in a long time. It helped so well that I experienced a tremendous reduction in my nerve pain, which had really flared up that particular day. The Subtle Mind meditation cleared my mind of all the chaos experienced in a normal day, sometimes at work, sometimes at home, sometimes both. I felt so at ease and relaxed that it felt good not to have scattered thoughts. In fact, my mind was so clear that I was not thinking of anything at all until my lunch break was just about over and then the thought that I had to clock back in interrupted that quiet time. The feeling of calmness was one that lasted for quite awhile afterwards. I have also gone further into being able to help myself feel less stressed at work. Being able to utilize it at my desk with other people around has been wonderful. By being able to do that I have been able to give the best of me in my personal and professional life. I can incorporate these elements of relaxation into my daily routine which will allow me to keep focused and more in control of things or situations. I will be able to make decisions with a clear mind, knowing that they are the right ones for me to take. I am not going to go into specifics, but I believe the time has come to make one or more major decisions in my life. Being able to think it through with a clear mind, and being able to relax to some degree will hopefully make the process a bit easier and less stressful. The relaxation and meditation techniques will enable me to cope more effectively than I may otherwise.
