Today I continued with my body scan meditation and my daily breathing exercises. I am finding it a bit unusual that I am feeling a lot more relaxed and my mind is not racing as much just two days after my initial MBSR session. All this is making me more optimistic about getting to a point in my life when anxiety and panic will no longer hold me back from being a good father and a good head of a household.
I found that my mind was wondering a bit more today than before while I was doing my body scan meditation. I am however happy to say that I did not fall asleep and I was aware of what was going on for the entire 45 minutes. I really enjoy the state of relaxation that I go into while doing the body scan, there are times that I can feel the blood going through certain parts of my body and all the stress and pain in certain areas are replaced by euphoric feelings that are very difficult to describe. I am more aware of every inch of my body that my arms and legs don't feel so distant from by core and I feel like I am about two feet tall, that's how attached I feel to my outermost extremeties.
The 10 minute breathing exercise went really well and I was able to block out thoughts and concentrate on my breathing better than when I was doing my body scan. The 10 minutes once again just flew right by.
