Beneficial Practices

Through the several practices we have experienced in this class I feel the loving kindness and the subtle mind exercises I enjoyed the most. Loving kindness I enjoyed about the thoughts of a specific someone and focusing on the positive energy that person brings to you. This showed me that when i am having a negative moment to use this exercise to help channel my energy and I can think of someone that brings a smile to my face.The subtle mind exercise helped improve my breathing and my ability to focus on incorporating my breathing when channeling my thoughts and feelings. These exercises have given me a vice to help me and my issues with my anxiety also to control my negative energy.

To move on..

This blog is great way for me to unravel my thoughts. Lately I've had difficulty in my everyday positivity, it's been stressful. I found the recent readings recently interesting with the 3 steps integral health. Especially the one about getting rid of the things that cause you suffering. I have something that i see as a suffering constant up and down never stable. I' m tired of trying to believe in things will get better, it always goes back to the same thing, wether the blame is wherever. I'm losing the fight for it all, and just care about the 2 things closest to me.when is enough enough and we face the truth.

The subtle Mind

The subtle mind exercise I found to be more focused on the stability of the mind. Ignoring all subjects around you and concentrating on breathing. Loving kindness exercise had you focus on one individual and feeding off the feeling the thought of that person brings you. I enjoyed the breathing exercise it brought more relaxation, but I found difficulty in pulling the mind in, regaining focus on the exercise and not other surroundings.

Spiritual wellness is a form I have yet to engage in. At the moment my physical wellness is not up to par, as my intestinal illness has taken it's toll on my body. Also my mental wellness needs stability, in the struggles I've gone through these couple weeks and most of my life for that matter. My mind is tired and my body is weary. Finding that connection between the two is hard to embrace my spiritual wellness. Spiritual to me being asking god everyday for the strength to get through this once again.

Unit 4

The loving kindness experience I found to be interesting. I found a little trouble to focus on the mind set of a specific someone and to combine all the feelings in one. Also to gather them in a setting and take all of it in emotionally. I did though feel relaxed to try and focus on one person that makes me happy. i would recommend it to others to try and focus on a similar focus of mind state. This could help others release feeling towards someone or just channel negative energy.

A mental workout is to exercise the mind into releasing thoughts and organizing the mind of feelings and thoughts. This is to help improve ones health of the mind and body. This can help realise stress, be sharper at everyday actions. Taking the time daily to exercise the mind of our daily routines and feelings to help release tensions.
