I am not sure why our assignment was called the "Crime of the Century". I think it is an odd name for a guided meditation that has us visualize rainbow colors. This assignment was timely in that I had just watched a rainbow materialize against dark rain clouds the other day on my morning run. It's arch landed just on the other side of my house...literally my house was at the end of the rainbow! Anyway, it helped me in my meditation because I have never had a very good imagination and visualizing things in my mind is not easy. I had a harder time relaxing this time but after I had completely finished the exercise I did finally relax. When I returned to my morning I felt less tired but didn't notice any significant change in focus, not like with the first exercise. But that may have been because I had to do other things that didn't require too much home work like homework.
As far as where I am physically, spiritually and emotionally, I would say I would be between a 6 and 7, just above average. Since I already do quite a bit of exercise, I think my approaches to bettering all of these areas would be to improve my diet even more and spend more time in meditation and worship to improve my spirituality. Doing both these things would automatically improve my mental and emotional health.

Hello - This exercise didn't do anything for me this time around. I had a really hard time focusing and imagining the rainbow of colors. I agree with you though, not sure why our exercise is call Crime of the Century.
ReplyDeleteI have faith and feel my beliefs are where they should be but I could to devote more time. I think I'm goimg to take up Yoga. I'm glad the exercise helped you in some way. =)
Hi - I enjoyed reading your experience with the meditation this week. This was an easy one for me because I have done similar meditations that include the chakras. I think anything unfamiliar will be more difficult at first. Sometimes the time of day that I do an exercise like this can make all the difference too. If I am hurrying to fit it in when I am really busy, even if I try to relax I won't be able to. The title was definitely a bit odd, I agree!!
ReplyDeleteHow serendipitous of you to see a rainbow materialize in front of you and then go onto the meditation. I, myself, always seek messages in things that stand out like that. A simple example is if I see numbers a few time here and there, I'll play them in the lottery or I'll look up a numerology chart or something. lol It might sound silly but I think its fun.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had such a unique experience and its nice that you eventually became relaxed. :)
