My first reflective blog
I really enjoy times of yoga and relaxation, but this time half way through, my cat jumped in my lap and I suddenly became very aware of the fact that this relaxation exercise increased so much blood flow that it made me have to pee.(excuse my language) As soon as the cat jumped up, I thought I was going to explode, but this exercise also increased the amount of control I have surprisingly. I also went through a possible fit of laughter for some reason, I think it was when I was starting to relax I just had this overall sensation of laughing! But luckily I was able to control that too! Otherwise, our exercise proved to be completely true, I was able to feel the warmth in my arms and hands and the weight of my arms was intense. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed it as it made me become more focused.

here I thought I was the only with animals that could tell that I was doing something important.
ReplyDeleteI think that the laughter was your mind just not knowing what to do. As with most of us, we are so buzy that our bodies don't know how to relax (atleast that is the case for me). So the minds reaction was to create laughter.
I know that there are days after a really good pilates class, I can fall alseep, but some days, you just gotta giggle.
I found this exercise to be rewarding in the relaxation aspect. I was able to allow myself to go, and not worry during that time.
Which is something I am struggling with as of lately. I seem to have put a lot on my plate, and not sure of how I am going to do it all. But I will continue to take time for myself, daily, and the rest will fall in place.
