Unit 6 Loving -kindness exercise

The loving kindness meditation exercise reminded me of my prayers. I usually take the time to pray for my family and friends that I know are in need. There so many people that I know that are need of healing or just encouragement. I know my God is capable of putting his arm around you and giving you the encouragement that you need. When you are thinking of others your needs seem smaller.

When I stop to rest in ease and stillness I automatically think of my daughter and her family. I do not get to spend the time with them that I have in the past. My life is in need of physical exercise and time for my daughter and her family. I am working and going to school full time and the time I spend with my family is not the amount of time I like to be with them.  I am almost fished with school and then the extra time will help.

Subtle  Mind and loving kindness Unit 5

The video for the subtle mind was very relaxing as all of the others. I have trouble just stopping and listening to the whole video. When I stop my mind and body I fall asleep.  I really feel that we are to busy in this world today.  We are either going to work, going to a function, eating or sleeping. We do not just stop and enjoy what is around us. We need to exercise our mental fitness and help our bodies heal with our minds going deep into the unity consciousness to unite our mind, body and spirit.

Unit 4 Loving Kindness

The loving kindness meditation was very interesting. We do  not take time to stop and think about our self. We are so busy taking care of others. I would recommend this to others because I think we need to give time and relaxation to our self. Our life's are to busy and we rarely just stop and enjoy life, such as, just sit and let the early morning sun shine in our faces or listen to a bird singing.

Our mental workout is just letting our mind work out the trash and hectic life . Our work out can help with the psychological health. Hence with mental health in wellness then the body health will be in wellness. We do have to stop and let our mind clear and think upon good things.

Unit 3

Reflections

Based on my reflections on a scale of 1 to 10 and ten being the optimal wellbeing, I would rate my physical well-being as a 7. I am in good health a little over weight but not much for a woman my age. My spiritual well-being is also a 7. I good do a little better at prayer and meditation.  My psychological well-being is also a 7.

My goal to lose a little weight is to start walking and riding my bike which will give me some exercise to tone my muscles. I need to cut my calories some and this will also help with my weight lose.  My spiritual goal is always to spend more time with God in prayer and read my Bible more. My psychological well-being is to think on the things of honest, pure, just, lovely, virtue, and of good report.

 The Crime of the Century

The relaxation exercise is a very interesting exercise. He voice is a very soothing and calming voice. The time of listening to the exercise gives me a time of rebuilding almost like taking a 2 hour nap. I am not a person to take naps but I feel like I have slept all night after just the 20 minutes of relaxing. 

Unit 2 Relaxation

The voice of the speaker and music was very relaxing. He was continually giving suggestive ways to relax. His voice was continually and softly suggesting relaxation. Sitting in a very quite spot listening you can become very relax and stop all of the thoughts that are coming though your brain. You can become so relaxed that a nap is very easy to do. I will need to listen to him at another time to relax and take a nap.

This is the type of relaxation you can get from sitting close to a brook that has trickling  water. A calming relaxing time in the woods with the smells and sounds of peace and quite.
