1. While listening to the Loving Kindness exercise and the Subtle Mind exercise they both made me realize what I love most in life. The pain I have experienced and other things I have never noticed about myself. I sat at the computer table for a while thinking about life and how I need to forgive the people the people that have hurt me. How I am grateful for my children. I need to embrace forgiveness in order to live my life in a positive way. No more anger, just peace. I felt at peace.
Even though the Loving Kindness exercise and the Subtle Mind exercise made me feel at peace, both the exercises have their own method of getting me there. The Loving Kindness Exercise focuses on the pain of other people and within. With that pain you learn to forgive and move on with life. Do not let it hold you back. The suffer will pass if you allow it. On the other hand, the Subtle Mind exercise focus on being calm and
putting your mind at ease.
2. Spiritual, mental and physical wellness are all intertwined. For example, someone who believe in God will worship him. They will read the bible, cleanse their soul and body of the impurities and believe in his power. That person will have peace, tranquility, healthy living and be open minded. Another example is if you feel stressed and have negative attitude around you, it will affect you wellness in a negative way. Spiritually you will not be at peace, mentally you may enter depression and physically you will be sluggish.
In my life, I have been listening to calm music in order to achieve my spiritual and mental wellness. The music makes me feel a t peace and relax my mind. I have no stress and feel good about myself. I also reflect on my day so I can learn from any mistakes I made. For my physical wellness I go to the gym. Exercising allows me to focus on my goal to be fit. I also release any excess stress that I might have.
Hi Beverly,
ReplyDeleteI was more into the subtle mind exercise than the loving-kindness exercise. I really did benefit more from this one than the other one. I was able to have peace of mind after doing it and do plan to practice it again at a later time. I agree with you that spiritual, mental, and physical wellness all go hand in hand. Without one, I do not feel you can obtain the other. When a person is in a good or bad place spiritually it affects their mental and physical being.
