On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate my physical well-being at an 8 or 9, since I am very physically active. I work in a spin/yoga studio, and avidly practice both. I also am completely vegan and a non smoker/ (occasional) drinker. I would rate my spiritual well-being at a 6-7, since I think for the most part, I am in touch with it, but I still have a long way to go. Finally, I would rate my psychological well-being at an 8-9, since I am very happy and healthy, and my life is low-drama and pleasantly occupied with great people. I am very good at communicating my feelings and ideas, and I see no psychological issues on the horizon.
Goals:
Physical- I would like to continue to be active and healthy in my exercises and dietary habits, and never falter or make excuses.
Spiritual- I will spend more time actively meditating and learning and seeking until I feel fulfilled.
Psychological- I will continue the habits that lead me to where I currently stand in this area. If problems arise, I will find a way to understand them and work on them.
I found the relaxation exercise to be very beneficial. I was nearly asleep before it was through. The voice is so calming, and the visuals that I create are so perfect.
Sincerely,

Journey On Relaxation
Hello Professor and class! I am very excited to begin blogging with everyone. :)
After listening to the Journey on Relaxation, I felt a very warm, peaceful feeling. I am someone who usually carries a lot of tension in my neck, shoulders, arms, and legs, and I associated with what the narrator said about tension in these areas. Thinking about my muscles in terms of a sponge was very helpful, because I can physically feel the relation. Mostly, I feel this relation when I do any activity that warms the body, releasing lactic acid in the muscles, such as exercise or yoga (or both). I am able to bend and stretch my muscles easily when they are prepped.
I found it odd and particularly interesting when the narrator instructed the flow of blood into the arms and hands, and I was surprised by the warming sensation. Ultimately, I was very relaxed with the combination of the background music combined with the timbre of the narrator's voice.
After this exercise, I felt a warm hum and energy around my body. My mind was at ease, and I was aware of my environment. I loved it!
Sincerely,
Beth D.
