Journey on Relaxation

I found this exercise to be very beneficial. The background music is very calming and nice and the man's voice was very easy to follow. However, it's a bit difficult to do for a long period of time when you have a baby pulling on your arm for attention. During the exercise, I noticed that my body started vibrating with my heartbeat in my chair. Also, for the past day or so, I have had a great deal of pain in my neck and shoulders that I just have not been able to get rid of. Even though the pain is not quite gone, it is a lot more tolerable. This also brings me back to my days in massage therapy school when my professor used to use meditation techniques in class. The only thing I didn't like about this exercise, however, is that it feels like more of a lecture than a meditation technique. For someone who's been doing meditation for many years, this just felt very repetitive and not really anything new for me. However, I can see how other people who may be new to meditation can benefit from it. It really makes me want to start teaching meditation classes like I've been thinking about for the past 4 months or so. Teaching people in my area stuff like this, as well as more advanced guided meditations would be a great way to get my Reiki business finally up and going.
