Week Eight
I had a difficult time choosing the two exercises I most benefited from. The majority of them had the vocal track with them which I find highly distracting, and difficult to use at just any time that I need to as I may not always have a CD player available to run through the exercise. The ones I liked the best were the ones where I could simply shut out the world and let the background sounds wash over me, giving me a platform to quiet my mind and just let it wander and see what discoveries or insights came to mind. These are ones that I can implement any time I need a mental refresher or jsut a quick 5 minute cool down from stress in my life, and continue on as a happier, calmer person in my interactions with the world.

Sorry to hear that you are still having trouble with the vocal guides on the CD. That is okay. I find using nature sounds to be very helpful in guided meditation for the reason that you listed above. The nature sounds allow the mind to wonder on an uncharted path that is natural for itself. I used nature sounds in my early days of mental fitness because I had trouble taking commands from another...trust issues I came to learn later. Give yourself time and keep practicing with the vocals. Try talking yourself through guided meditation/ relaxation. This may help in your mind conditioning in hearing another voice.
