The title of this exercise is definitely misleading! I was
not expecting an exercise that would help relax and revitalize me.
I listened to it this morning before everyone else was awake
and unlike the Journey On experience the music which I thought was initially
too loud eventually was no longer the focus on my mind. I have done guided
meditation successfully and non-successfully tried as well and the speakers
idea to be in the moment – letting thoughts come and go without focusing on
them helped me connect much better than the last exercise.
I am a visual person and I found the speakers use of color
to be exceptionally relaxing and while I couldn’t focus 100% on what he was
guiding us through I still felt relaxed and energized by the end. I think I
will try this exercise when I haven’t just spent 9 hours working and can relax
my mind, hopefully not as many thoughts will come and go and I will be able to focus
more clearly on the colors of the rainbow.
Overall it was an enjoyable and pleasant experience and I
plan to use it now and in the future if I need a guided meditation.

Hi Sandy,
I was surprised too about the title of this exercise. I appreciated how the colors went along with the seven chakra areas. It is amazing the power of the mind to functionally attach these colors to a region of the body. I enjoyed my experience with this activity.
Have a great week, Candii
Candii,
I have to agree that I enjoyed this exercise more than I anticipated, especially after last week’s frustrated me slightly. Last week I was not able to relax and focus, my mind was all over the place and my arms ended up colder than when they started. Maybe it was the time of day I listened to each during or maybe it is because this one involved color, which is something I can relate to – but whatever the reason I have saved the .mp3 file to use it often when I want to relax. Eventually I hope to be able to do this by myself without the help of a guide!
Have a fantastic week!
