Crime of the Century Relaxation Exercise

Ok, so last time I tried to do this exercise, I was not able to access it.  But it worked this time!  :)  So this time, I decided to do the relaxation exercise in the morning.  It is about 0630 where I am.  This worked better for me.  Last time, for the Journey On exercise, I did it in the afternoon, and I was feeling rushed and couldn't focus on the exercise. 

I like the author's voice, because it is very relaxing.  And perhaps because I was actually able to relax, I feel that I got more from this exercise than the one we did last week.  "I feel grounded, I feel centered, I feel loved, I choose to love, my life has a meaningful purpose, I feel balanced, and I feel connected" are all feelings that are associated with different colors of the light spectrum and various body parts.  I found this interesting because I have done other relaxation techniques for other classes and the colors associated with certain meanings and body areas were different.  I suppose that this does not matter, as long as you achieve the relaxation you seek.  I really do not know why this exercise is called "Crime of the Century" though.  I do however, like trying all of these different relaxation exercises.  It just makes sense to try them all out, because what works for one person, may or may not work for another.
