Ok……………… the exercise was frustrating. Too much direction, I
could not relax nor could I follow the commentator. I never reached a moment of
relaxation.
Hi Janice, I found that I couldn't focus or follow the rainbow scheme. Too many things to focus on will defeat the purpose of relaxing. I found that I spent my time focusing on my breath and by the time I reached the third color, that's all she wrote. I woke up about an hour later when my children made enough noise to bring me back to the present. Not all of the exercised meant for relaxation works for everyone. You will find one that works for you in time.
Hi Janice. I agree with you to a point. I did not find the exercise "frustrating", but I did better without focusing on and following the directions of the "rainbow colors." I was so relaxed that I fell asleep the first time, woke up and had to start over again. Maybe the next relaxation exercise will be better for you. Sorry that you did not get a chance to relax =).
Janice don't give up. Somebody else mentioned doing it while in the bath or right before sleep.
