Relaxation practice

The timing of this assignment couldn't have been better for me. I had just spent four hours in the Arizona sun (about 105-107 degrees), with my son, helping a friend of ours work on his girlfriend's car. We didn't get it back to running properly, and were all flushed and sore and tired - although we had made sure to be drinking the water and some Gatorade, of course. We were frustrated that the work we had done did not fix the problem, and our friend decided to knock off for the day, and try again early tomorrow, since the noon sun was up, and it was just too hot to be out working on the car, on the hot concrete, with hot tools. We said goodbye to my friend, and came home; my son jumped in the shower, and I got the grease off of my hands, and grabbed a cold drink, and set down at the computer to check into school.
     I listened to the relaxation exercise, performing all that the voice told me, and did indeed, find my arms and hands heavier, and definitely more relaxed. When the session was over, I brought this relaxed energy here, and began to blog about the experience. I have done guided meditations before, both as the leader, and as a practitioner. I really think the universe saw that I was tense, because, as I said, the timing of this was perfect. Now, I am relaxed and energized, and after checking all of my schoolwork, I will be going for a nice swim in the pool. Here's hoping everyone had a great experience with this assignment. Cheers!
