Today I listened to the relaxation link again. The first time I tried, I could not think of anything besides the man talking. Today was somewhat easier, however I do better by first being instructed and then going through the steps on my own.
As I sit on my porch, close my eyes, enjoy the bird's soft sounds, I was then able to direct the feeling of blood flow. I pictured it going to my neck--since this is where I hold tension. It was very relaxing.
I make a point of spending 15 minutes in the morning to just sit quietly, before thinking on anything that arises in the day.
Happy Relaxing to all of you!! :-}
