Reflection on the Journey to Relaxation

I have had several experiences with guided relaxation exercises, this one was not my favorite.  It was a bit too scientific, which for me is not very relaxing because my career is very scientific.  I prefer a more creative or spiritual experience with guided relaxation. I like to hear music that is more involved, perhaps some drumming.  The music on this one was very basic and did not stir up any particular reaction within me.  When I hear descriptions of body systems and blood circulation my mind goes immediately to thinking about work.  I start to think about certain patients, their conditions, what I should try to manage their care differently, and all of a sudden this is not relaxing.  This is definitely not something I would use to actually try to relax.
