I am a seeker, I seek knowledge, I seek truth, I seek beauty, I seek trust, I seek connection. I seek these things all around in what we may usually disregard as irrelevant, ugly, ignorant, oppressed,and alone. I am in all the things, I am one.

Relaxation via audio make me giggle
I was listening to the Audio CD by author Elliot Dacher, also narration with Harriet Cianci, sections of Subtle mind practices as well as Loving kindness In The Path to Human Flourishing and I couldn't help but giggle at the end of them. First off like most people I can not relax to a strangers voice no matter how soothing it is, which Mrs. Cianci has I could not fall into that same meditative state or aware conscious state of relaxation with a water fall and flutes coming from my CD player. I also was interrupted with a startle at the end of each section when it cuts to laud white noise... someone in the editing department doesn't understand continuous flow and transition and needs to take a meditation class or attend a real seminar which one of these relaxation classes are given so that he/she may understand the goal of falling into a relaxation state and coming out of one uninterrupted. Don't confuse my demeanor as upset but more confused, I mean I got a kick out of the irony but why would anyone who is trying to reach a state of relaxation or go to the happy place where everything dissolves into beautiful landscapes and childhood familiarity want to be abruptly snatched away from that? Yea that was a precursor of anticipation for the next relaxation exercise, I didn't really relax the way the audio tapes wanted me too relax instead I couldn't stop giggling, but in my way it achieved a different type of relaxation mode. To me when I haven't laughed in a long time and can find ways to achieve this I'll just pop in the CD and get my results, laughing is a great medicine not one I was expecting here but all the while I learned something... send a letter to the editor, and when I want to give these exercises another go, I'll ditch the tapes and find a real relaxation class where I can feel the energy from human to human.

Hi Rox,
ReplyDeleteI really love the picture of you looking at the mountain in Laos. It must be nice to see the whole world which it would bring peace and harmony with mother nature.
Thank you Vibol, that was actually at the summit point on a mountain In Colorado. I was working in the States for a while and that was when I was out there. That was me pondering how I got to the top!
