reflection experience with the Journey On exercise

I'm not sure how many of you have tried participating in yoga, but that is the first thing that came to mind while experiencing the Journey On exercise.  I don't attend yoga classes regularly, however the times I have, always begin and end with some style of relaxation technique.  This provides a platform for a clear state of mind to allow you to get the most out of your impending workout, or to cool down from one.  Concentrating on breathing, visualizing flexible and pliable muscles, and focusing on fluidity and weightlessness is where I found myself during this brief 10 minute long exercise.  Although I had just gulped a big cup of black coffee, the calm music and smooth voice instructions were all that I needed to slow my mind down to find peace and quiet.  It was wild to actually be able to feel myself directing my own blood flow around my body, as directed!  I can foresee this being an excellent routine to unwind after work, or to start your day off on a refreshing note.

Go on, try Journey On out! 

welcome to my path, my journey!

As I am working towards completing my Bachelor's degree of Science in Nursing, I have chosen an elective course to supplement my studies, Creating Wellness: Psychological and Spiritual Aspects of Healing.  Although it is not a nursing-specific class, I felt that it would be interesting and applicable towards my profession, as an enlightening way to channel the care I deliver to my patients.  The term has just begun, and I can already tell its going to be very insightful and inspiring class.  Focusing on holistic healing and complete wellness, this curriculum takes from Eastern practices to instill integral health and human flourishing in conjunction with all components of one's lifestyle. This is exciting to me because it is rare to see this perspective of treatment working in a modern-day American health care system.

As an ongoing, progressive "assignment" for the class, each student is to create, follow and participate in blogs that will reflect our growth and understanding of the course material.  Please follow along and share this journey with me!  Welcome to the path of me.
