Your mental fitness practice this week incorporates
the concept of the subtle mind (Dacher p.75). This week, replace the Loving
Kindness exercise of unit four with Practice 2: The Subtle Mind practice mp3
(located in the Doc Sharing thread).
1.
Compare and contrast the Loving Kindness exercise and
the Subtle mind exercise. Explain your experience including the benefits, frustrations
etc.
Ok so I fell a sleep! The subtle mind practice was a
bit more relaxing for me. I lay on my bed, placed my laptop net to me and
turned the volume all the way up. I lay flat, took of my watch, shoes and
ponytail and started to listen to the breathing techniques. Once I started to
visualize air coming into and out of my lungs, I passed out. I think it's a good
thing or at least something different. During this exercise the chatter in my
mind stop, but so did my mind. The benefit of this particular exercise is that
I rested (napped) for at lest two hours, which I never do. My frustration is
that I fell a sleep and was unable to accomplish quiet my mind but we awake.
2.
Discuss the connection of the spiritual wellness to
mental and physical wellness. Explain how the connection is manifested in your
personal life.
The connection between my spirituality and my mental
and physical wellness is as connected as my head is to the rest of my body! One
support and affects the other. The only difference is that I can see and
exercise my physical body in many ways. My mind and my spirituality are a bit
complicated and subtle. So much is unknown and not tangible that it’s hard to measure.
In my personal life these three concepts have manifested themselves in ways
that I could clearly see that I had a problem with each one. I have come from a
long way and consider myself more spiritual, mental, and physically matured.
