Do You Trust Meditation?

By on Monday, June 30th, 2008 | 1 Comment

Since I’ve started meditating as part of my routine to de-stress, I’ve read some interesting stuff about meditation.

I’ve found that there’s a lot of mystery surrounding the art – most of which is unfounded.

It does work, however, and I’m beginning to discover new areas of my psyche that I’d forgotten (or never known) about.

Oh, and I’m also feeling more relaxed!

I’ve just downloaded a whole batch of mp3s from meditainment. I love these recordings for meditating, relaxing and for personal development. There’s even some nice relaxing music which I’m studying as I compose music myself (www.alanjmoore.com). Maybe I need to chill out a little more!

Relax with TV Dolphins

By on Friday, June 27th, 2008 | No Comments

Brenda Burger has devised a method of relaxation that enables her customers to swim with the dolphins.  The twist?  Well, it’s in the middle of the desert!

As the owner of the La Quinta Healing Arts spa, Burger recently added a new method of relaxation called Virtual Dolphin Therapy.

Situated in one of the three rooms in Burger’s business in La Quinta, dolphin therapy entails lying on a specially designed, water-filled sound wave table with a flat screen television overhead that projects film footage of a pod of dolphins synchronized with music.

I don’t know about you, but this sounds a fantastic way to relax.

Wonder when the technique will be available for home use?

In Pursuit of Relaxation

By on Tuesday, June 24th, 2008 | No Comments

As a teacher, I’ve had my share of stress.  I work in an education system that seems to ignore the health of kids and staff in a misguided attempt to ‘raise standards’.

I’m absolutely convinced that ‘standards’ would naturally improve IF we could learn to be more relaxed as a society.

The UK has the most over-tested kids in the world.

Who benefits from this?

I lose many many hours of teaching each year simply because the students are being tested and have to be withdrawn from lessons.

Crazy!

I’m so pleased, though, that I’m not alone in my thinking.  I’ve just read a great article called, ‘In Pursuit of Relaxation‘

Here’s a short extract:

“Relaxation techniques even offer academic benefits. According to Al Gini, author of The Importance of Being Lazy, “Fatigue and the frenzy of overstimulation can block objectivity, delimit perspective, and often deaden our ability to calculate and evaluate logically.” Research has also proven that stress has a negative, sometimes demoralizing, impact on the ability to learn and to take tests. Tension control, on the other hand, can help children learn better and more successfully manage stressful test taking. Indeed, there was a study of “brilliant American children,” which found that one of the common factors in their lives was the fact that they spent a lot of unstructured time “doing nothing.” That alone should be enough incentive to let children hang out and relax.”

How true!

In the article, Rae talks about how relaxation is a learned skill.  Isn’t it strange how something that you would imagine to be so easy, is actually very difficult to achieve.

So… period 3 each Wednesday morning to be devoted to one hour of ‘taught’ relaxation for kids AND staff?

What do you think?

Even The Rich and Famous Get Stressed?

By on Monday, June 23rd, 2008 | No Comments

It looks like even the rich and famous suffer from stress.

Angelina Jolie has said that she’s concerned that family stress will drive away partner Brad Pitt.

“You have less time together, you’re always busy, you’re often tired in the evenings. So it’s something that you either learn to adapt to or you’re going to be in trouble as a couple,” she said.

I guess stress is going to be around for a long time for everybody!
