Unit 3 blog

I didn't like A Crime of the Century nearly as much as our exercise in Unit 2.  The music was very calming, but then to have to almost calm down and then have to visualize bright, vibrant colors, it really took away from the relaxing moment.  In my mind, I visualize calm colors with relaxing; this was opposite of what I would expect, and really did nothing for me.  Were I given a choice to use this in my practice in the future, I would opt out and use something else for relaxation with my clients.

Unit 2 post

Since I messed up my original blog so badly, I had to start a new one.  Here's hoping this one makes it!

The Journey On exercise was awesome.  I can understand why we would need to listen to this while at home in a quiet corner with no one around.  Given enough time, I'm sure I could've fallen asleep.  The voice being so monotone and quiet made it easy to relax.  I could picture being in a meditative state with my yoga music in the background.  I will return to this exercise on more than one occasion I'm sure, as it really made it easy to calm down after a stressful day.
