Class,
Meditation has increased my total wellness in a major way. Through meditation I am empowered to prosper in health, wealth, spritually and physically. In meditation time I speak to myself words of life that encourage me and I in return encourage others. Meditation prepares me for service. Showing compassion to others and willing to listen and serve makes a heathier me.
"One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself" is a statement I agree with. I believe before I can expect someone to follow me I first must know what it is like to experience some of what they have or is experiencing. I don't believe you can walk someone through hurt if you have never been hurt before. You don't even know what it feels like. How can you relate. In the Health and Wellness profession I do not expect to lead clients through the health and wellness steps and not have spent time working on my process. As I grow and develop my testimony will encourage someone else.

Integral Assessment
Denise,
After taking the integral assessment I evaluated the aspects of my life and decided to make changes in my life. I have decided to make an attack plan. I will begin to first set short and long term goals. Then I will make a general attack list for different areas of my life ad begin to attack them one by one. I told my husband we do not have to do everything a one time just as long as we do something every week. I really believe that this is going to work. We have so much we want to do but it seemed lie we were never getting to it. Now we will because we have a strategy. This was a stressor for me. I have just alleviated stress and set in motion intentional behavior.

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.

Personal Experience
In the personal assessment I scored myself at a 6. How I view myself now is a 7. I have made some progress but a lot of growing still left to do. My score changed because I focus more on execution skills. I know how I feel and view issues. I know what I should do and I am controlled in my approach and decision making.
My goals and activities that I set for myself are decrease weight and increase physical ability, spiritually to get closer to God by spending more time with him, psychologically live a more intentional life, organized with no distractions.
I have made progress. I have gone from just having my own exercise routine to leading others in exercise. My physical ability has increased. I have come closer to God because I take more time for myself which gives me more time to spend with God. I am more intentional. I make a plan to accomplish goals and I focus on that plan.
My experience through the course has caused me to view people and life differently. It has been rewarding that through this course I have gained more knowledge and this knowledge will help me to help others. The difficult part for me was staying on track through my husbands injury. His health took precedence over everything else at the time. When life attacks or takes you by surprise, sometimes your goals can be delayed but certainly not denied.

Integral Assessment and Loving kindness
Denise,
After taking the integral assessment and meditating I evaluated the aspects of my life and decided to make changes in my life. I have decided to make an attack plan.
