Wow! this relaxation exercise worked so well that I actually feel sleep. I am very prone to hypnosis and one of the main reasons why I am having such a difficult time mastering meditation is because I fall sleep during my session. The guide's voice was so soothing and relaxing, as he was telling me to relax each part of my body and get into a comfortable postion, my eyes just became so heavy and just closed on their own! I don't even remember how long I was out for, but when I came too, the track had stopped playing. I think I feel asslep ten minutes into the session. I do not know if this is a good or bad outcome, but I do know that I love to sleep and anything that can knock me out like a light is fine in my book! I even fall asleep to meditation music since I know that I am prone to falling sleep during my sessions, I just make it apart of my sleep habits and dream that I am meditating in my sleep. However, it does create some bizarre dreams since my mind is so "open" I limit this music to only a few days out of the week.
I think he says afterwards that you should feel refreshed, energized, and not sleepy. But I guess since you got a little nap, you did feel refreshed! He did have a very soothing voice. I often have a hard time relaxing enough to stay focused. My mind wanders everywhere but this was a relaxing exercise.
