This week's class assignment was to meditate using a guided imagery. But, the session was also a lesson in the power of the mind. And, let me tell how powerful it is! If anyone doubts the wonders that the mind can do, or the power of thought have them listen to this guided meditation.
As, I obeyed the instruction in the meditation to shift the blood from my core into my arms I felt my arms get heavy and tingly. I felt my arm and hand get warm, especially my palms. It was very cool to experience.
I have experienced meditation many times in my life. I am never surprised and always grateful at the peace I feel from each experience. I always feel calm and warm by the end of each session. I love it so much that I go to yoga classes twice a week. I would go more, but it is only offered in my area that many times. Unfortunately, my instructor doesn't focus long on meditation, but what little I get I love.
In my last Kaplan class, I leaned a lot about meditation and the power of thought or suggestion. There were a few other guided meditations in it that I thought I would share here. Try them and enjoy!
Now, back to the notion on the power of the mind.... I am also no stranger to the idea of the power of the mind. I am a believer in subliminal activity and sound. I remember my mom giving me a subliminal tape that I would listen to every night in Jr. High School. I don't remember the title of it, but it focused on my self esteem and performance in school. Coincidental, that was the first year I ever got straight A's for the entire school year. That is when I became a believer in the power of the mind, because I don't consider myself a genius... lol. I have used subliminal CDs for my children and husband, as well. My kids are all very successful in school and sports. And, my husband used them before and during medical school. I think they are awesome. Here is the site that I have used. Check it out.

Hi Tera,
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying your blog. :) This is my first experience blogging, and I'm still figuring out how to post a comment! haha Hopefully I can get into posting pictures and etc. on mine as well.
I also thoroughly enjoyed the guided relaxation/meditation exercise, and felt a sense of peacefulness, and calmness, yet felt energized as well. It made me want to try other guided meditations, so thanks for sharing some!
It sounds like you have had some powerful experiences with subliminal messages as well! I'll check out that site too. Thanks for sharing the information.
