The Subtle Mind Exercises

The loving kindness exercises were interesting. I try everyday to do something for someone else. I try to do unto others as I would have them do unto me. In others words treat people how I want to be treated. It is so fulfilling to help others. To smile at someone and see them smile back when they just had a frown on their face. I feel a sense of purpose in those moments. Why do I have an issue with some of these exercises. The soothing sounds are okay for me. It is the voice and what they are telling me to do that I do not like. I can breathe in and out for oxygen but what am I breathing in when I clear my mind and breathe in energy. I just do not believe in this. I believe in God. I can close my eyes think on Him and breathe peacefully because I know He is with me. No exercise can replace the peace that only God can give. I will share with my clients that it is according to what they believe I can create a plan that will suite them.

Meditation That Changes Your Life

Professor and Class,

My experience with the loving-Kindness exercises was quite interesting to me. I like the soothing sounds of the ocean. I liked thinking on someone I am happy with, someone I love. I also like thinking of others even someone I may consider to be an enemy or someone I am not happy with. I think when it is spoken to breath in their suffering, I see it as putting yourself in someone else's shoes and considering how they might feel. When I take the time to do this I am more compassionate towards others, even when they are mean to me. I figure if I might do or say something that might brighten their day. A smile maybe or a compliment may change everything for them at least for the moment. I found it somewhat beneficial. I am not really into these types of meditation. I have my own. I meditate on the word of God. It changes everything for me. The since of peace I experience when I am in God's word changes my life, my attitude, my situation. I would not recommend the exercise to others. I would recommend the Word of God.

 

 

The concept of a mental workout is developing the mind. I use activities like meditation, reading, brain teaser games, and practicing mind focus exercises to develop my mind. A mind focusing exercise would be to think on things that are lovely, pure, honest, and good for example. I also have phrases that I speak to myself. It changes my way of thinking and therefore changes my life for the better.

Integral Health Goals

Person-Centered - Exercise

A goal I would develop for myself physically would be to reach my weight and physical ability goals by continuing my exercise regimen and nutrition plan, spiritually to grow closer to God and learn more about him by spending time with him in the word of God, psychologically to live more of an intentional life organizing myself and not allowing myself to be distracted.

The relaxation exercise was a little frustrating for me because I could not relate to the interconnection of myself. I do not connect with myself but with God. I love the soft relaxing music. My state of relaxation is connected to God and connected to him inside of me.
