Welcome to Tabula Rasa

Welcome, Tabula Rasa is, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary online, the mind in its hypothetical primary blank or empty state before receiving outside impressions. Sometimes we are so cluttered in our mind that we need a clean slate to build upon. Freeing my mind from the clutter, the weights of the past, and the trashy debris of everyday life is my goal.  Hope you will enjoy my posts this term.

Welcome!

Journey to Relaxation

Oh, to take a moment to sit down and relax! I am always so busy running around giving comfort to others that I myself often go neglected of the quiet time and space. Listening to a meditative CD is wonderful after a long day at work. After driving sometimes in high traffic, settling down after having heard all of the advertising and media that is virtually forced on us, it is a Journey to Relaxation.

The exercise that we had in Unit 2 allowed me to see that in stillness I can connect to my body in a different way. The recording said to get in a position to relax and breathe. He instructs us to send the blood from our torso to our arms and hands. I have done this exercise before and he results this time were different. I injured my hands last week and it is said that the blood rushes to the place that hurts the most. In the few times that I did the exercise this is the first time that it was evident that blood did fill my arms and hands. I am on a Journey to Relaxation!
