Journey on Relaxation Exercise... My Reflections

I would love to say that I found the exercise deeply relaxing and enjoyable, but that wouldn't be entirely true. The sound of the narrators voice didn't soothe me, perhaps I would respond better to soft voice of a woman. Throughout the exercise I found my mind unfocused and wandering off. Thoughts of the day lofted through my head, as it has been a stressful and high paced one. My back hurt, my shoulders were sore, I thought about my posture and sat up a little straighter. I tried to focus again, but only drifted off into my own little world. Thoughts of Iraq bounced through my head. The oven like heat that filled the day, were a gentle breeze felt more like standing next to a furnace. The sandstorms that would cover the horizon with a soft brown color, and then draw closer as you couldn't see five feet in front of your face. I snapped back into reality, and heard the narrator still, this time concluding his thing, and I thought about what just happened, but realized I must have been relaxed in a way.
