Hello Everyone,
I really enjoyed the Journey on Relaxation exercise as today was a very stressful day for me.  It is my brothers birthday and tomorrow is my moms and they both live in Indiana and I am here in NM for work and do not get to be with them to celebrate. 
The voice on the relaxation exercise was very calming and I really liked the design on the page.  I found myself getting lost in it.  When it came to the part on trying to lift your arms I found that my hands started tingling when I raised them.  I also found it very interesting that we have the control over our blood flow to redirect it to others parts simply by verbalizing and thinking about the flow of the blood. 
Myself, I love anytime that I am able to take a few minutes and relax.  The good thing about this exercise is that it can be practiced anywhere and at anytime.  This is something that is easy to teach to others who may be dealing with stress, anxiety, or even tense  muscles.  I look forward to more ideas of relaxation techniques and being able to apply them to my personal and professional life.
Hope everyone has a great week and god luck on the quiz.  Go Vikings!!!

Unit 1

Hello Everyone,
My name is Ann Cooper and I look forward to blogging with each of you.  I have had a little experience with blogging in another class and I loved it.  It was nice to be able to post what you were feeling for the week and any experiences that you had on your blog and receive responses from others in the class.  I also felt like it made the class more personal for everyone.  Good luck with your blogs and I look forward to hearing from everyone soon.
