The woman’s voice most definitely was better than the guy’s voice from the first two exercises we listened to. Then you add the waves and the faint panflute music playing in the background was enough alone to relax me and to fall into a sleep. Overall, this was a good exercise. I would recommend this. The only problem I found myself having was when we were to spread our loving-kindness to our enemies. While we were to do this, we were also spreading our loving-kindness out to strangers. I had no problem at this but my mind would automatically place my enemies in a bubble away from the strangers, stopping my loving-kindness to spread to them. I am just not at the place yet where I can let those enemies in or feel they deserve my loving-kindness. Maybe someday I will be able to pop that bubble but honestly not today.
The concept of Mental Workout is to gain more patience and an inner calmness within as well as gaining a more peaceful mind. The research prove that when doing a mental workout everyday and sticking with it for years to come can help someone’s overall well-being, tranquility, and a feeling of completeness. This practice will help in the journey of love-kindness and the subtle mind. Mental workout can be implemented into anyone’s lives. This can be done by setting aside a time every day, preferably the same time each time in a nice quiet comfortable siren location where one can concentrate on their mental workout/exercise. Just as one would plan a workout for the body each day, one should do the same for their mind and can be worked in the same time. I plan to try this at least once a day first and continue till I can work up to two times a day. I have talked to my best friend about this class & the exercises and we are planning a “mediation session” if you will together and try to balance out our mind, body, & spirit.
For my physical well-being, I would give it a rating of an 8. Why an 8?I am very good and strict about my nutrition.I started on the path of better nutrition before I start to my major of Nutrition Science.However, as for the last 2 not giving myself a 10 for optimal is because I have room for improvement in the physical fitness department.I so manage to get exercise in but not as much as I should or would like.I sometimes have a hard time fitting in quiet time for myself let alone a good workout.
Now for my spiritual well-being, I rate that as an 8 as well.I am not a religious person but spiritual.I like to think of myself as one with Mother Nature.Hence, my blog name.I feel spiritually and passionately about the beauty, that surrounds us every day.I take virtue in the simple pleasures of birds chirping in the morning to feeling the wind blow on my face and the sound of kids playing outside.As for not rating it a 10, I am still working on that.I know where I stand with my beliefs but I have a hard time understanding the ones that want to preach and judge me on mine.When being judged I have a hard time standing down and letting them “preach” to me.I have a hard time with hypocrites and my defenses go up when cornered.
Psychological well-being is something that I work on every day.Life has thrown me many challenging the past 3 years and they have tried me without a doubt.I try to use my spirituality to help conquer those ugly challenges but also I have my 4-year-old son that has been my rock and my strength.I rate myself a 7.Why, I am still working on that.I have room for improvement…
My physical goal is to make more time for things like Yoga and Pilates that I enjoy as well as weight training.My spiritual goal and to take more walks, listen to mother nature and absorb the invigorating pleasures and peace that I receive from the stretching of my muscles as I walk to the sound of life around me.My psychological goal, reach out to my friends.I will get past that I CAN NOT do everything on my own, that it is ok to ask others for help.
Yoga, Pilates, stretching of any kind will a great implementation to my life and will help me move forward.Spiritual walks and meditating will help guide me to forward.Talking and sharing with my trusted loved ones will help keep me open and teach me that I am not alone.These will all help guide me to my goal.To help, to learn, to heal.
Finished my relaxation exercise.Geez, I need to work on this more.Yes, this is one of my goals and I am aware and have every intention to work on this goal, I do know that.How do you get past the way people talk though?I have had no issues sitting back and following into relaxation with Dr. Cindy but something about this guy’s voice just does not draw me in.Quote me if I am wrong but is he not the same guy that talked in last units exercise?I am a little worried that each exercise we are to participate in will be the same guy.I sure hope he grows on me if that is the case.Any tips?
To be honest I had trouble with this relaxation exercise. Something about his voice did not get me down to a relax state. I set my surroundings to prepare for this, no distractions and all but to no prevail did I reach full relaxation. The music is probably the one thing that helped me out a little but as he was talking I even found it hard to concentrate on what he was saying. When I would try to pull myself back in I felt as though he was rambling on. I love relaxation exercises and I use them often but the speaker could not draw me in to a relaxed state. I was a bit bummed and thought maybe it was just my mood so I came back to it later on and same results as the first time. I have faith that it will be better next time. Yes, I plan on trying it again one more time. How's the saying go? Oh yea, third time's a charm!
Welcome to my blog! I wanted to wish everyone luck as I have blogged a little but I am still no pro at this so I feel that must of us can say, we can help each other out in the process. I am very excited about our Creating Wellness-Psych. & Spirit. Asp. of Healing class! This was a chosen open elective for me and couldn't wait to take this one! I am looking forward to share and get to know everyone on a spiritual level. One that we do not tend to have the honor to get to know in everyday life. Since this is setup just for this, I am ready to learn and share our experiences and techniques!
