When I first began to listen to the audio on Journey on Relaxation, I instantly began to relax just listening to the music notes.  The music notes and the man's voice was very relaxing.  When I took the first slow deep breathe I felt my body began to relax by coming to a still peaceful rest.  I did not know that 80% of the body's blood is in the abdominal area.  The next step was redirecting the blood technique to the arms and hands while in this peaceful state.  This is done by mentally telling the blood in the abdominal area to go to the arms and hands and the sign that this was working is you will feel your muscles relax and a heaviness in these areas.  I don't know if this technique was working for me because my arms and hands were feeling heavy and warm from lack of rest before I started this technique.  I noticed the breathing techniques really relaxed me and my body felt more relaxed and calm after this exercise.  After the exercise, I felt more alert and peaceful.  I do believe this exercise can work to some extent on anyone and it sounds a lot like Yoga.  I will definitely do this exercise again.
