Visualization has always been something that has been practiced in my life but it mostly centered around athletic activities. I realized after doing exercises in the book and on the CD that it is very useful for many different things in life especially promoting healthy well-being. I used to visualize my gymnastics routines before competition, my track meets, and my cheerleading competitions. Now I can take time out of my day to visualize how I will take on my day, how I will open myself up to different experiences, and different goals.
Yoga is a good way that I can touch on meditation without having to just be still and calm. In meditation I can reach deeper into what I want to be and how I can get there by blocking out all the distractions and focusing on nothing until I receive the answers I need. I implement meditation into my yoga by holding poses for long periods of time giving me a chance to still my mind.
Hey Iris,
ReplyDeleteI really like the visualization exercise too. I think this exercise really helped me distinguish between what is day dreaming and what is visualizing though LOL.
Alot of the time we say, 'Man, I didn't see that coming'....I feel that visualization is a great way to prevent these types of situations. We can't predict the future but we can definitely get an idea how we want a situation to pan out; and as we have learned a great deal of our inner self projects to the outer world. The whole concept of visualization reminds of the book The Secret. Have you heard of it before?
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI like your post, I took really like the visualization technique in helping me reach my daily goals as well as any future goals as well. Personally I find that visualization coupled with meditation works great for me , not only in viewing my possible outcome but in relaxing my mind from any distractions.

Hi Iris, I like your post and I feel it's very close to my thoughts on the exercises as well. Meditation through whatever pathway you experience it can be so calming and yet strengthening at the same time.
