This post is about The Rainbow meditation. I have to admit that this is not the first time that I have listened to this meditation track. You probably could have figured that out if you read one of my previous posts. Anyway, this guided imagery is one of my favorite meditations from school. I was easily drawn in by the calm deep voice of the narrator. I found myself becoming completely relaxed with each breath that I took. Breath in meditation does that to me. I love the focus and calm I get when concentrating on my breath. Overall, I love the imagery. I thought it was mentally healing. I am a believer in color therapy to begin with... I love being able to envision the colors of light and "watching" them heal my mental and emotional being. I participate in 2 yoga classes each week. Normally, I just picture pure light shining from me. So, this change was fun and enlightening. I may use new colors in my yoga meditation as needed...
I bet i could learn a alot from you. you seem to be in this stuff pretty hard. I wish that i was. As Dacher explains though, it takes a lot of practice to get good at it...just like anything else. I am beginning to understand a litle abou what it is to really relax. It is a different feeling when you can relax your mind and body instead of just the body. A quiet and pure mind is much more gratifying for me than simply not moving muscles. I want to try yoga, but I am really not flexibe at all. I was wondering if I could do any of the moves at all. Then again, i am sure that yoga can help me become more flexible. What do you think?
Hey Mitch - The thing with yoga is that the more you do it, the more flexible you'll become. Yoga is all about breath and focus. Lots of moves are strengthening. Flexibility will come in time.

ReplyDeleteI am loving that pic of the hands. It by itself seems tranquil.
