Journey To Relaxation


During this listening relaxation recording I focused on every word the speaker was saying. This helped me to get the full experience of learning to have my body relax. As I sat at in my computer chair and kicked my legs up I focused on the light relaxing music that was playing, this helped my body to calm down to a more restful state. Once the speaker began talking about letting the blood flow from my stomach into my arms and hands I immediately felt a warm heavy feeling throughout my arms, hands, and fingers. This did not take long for me to feel and the more the speaker talked about the blood flowing to my arms and hands the heavier and warmer I felt. When the speaker told me to lift my arm, it was very difficult because it seemed like my arm weighed much more than it did. At the end of the recording I did feel energized, relaxed, and my mind seemed focused.
Overall this listening experience was very relaxing and an eye opener of how the power of suggestion is very powerful.

Welcome!


Welcome to my blog Into The Stars!

Hopefully all of us will end up feeling like stars after getting our degrees here at Kaplan!

My name is Nellie and I am in the Health and Wellness program at Kaplan University. My entire life I have grown up with natural folk medicine and cures. My mother grew up poor on a farm and she always seems to have a natural remedy for any kind of issue. Now, I have my own family and seem to be doing the same. After getting my health and wellness degree and with more schooling I’m looking at becoming an herbalist to carry on the tradition and extend my knowledge.

  Best wishes to everyone!
