During the Loving Kindness exercise I felt relieved and refreshed. I found it to be very effective when trying to calm the mind and body. This exercise, used to relieve anger, can be very beneficial to one’s emotional state. After practicing the exercise a sense of love and passion came through me. It made me realize the importance of kindness and universal love. In the Integral assessment I myself important questions that were crucial for my health development. I found the assignment to be very beneficial to me because it brought up topics that I needed to address. From the assignment I learned a lot about me and my mind. It may seem like I have everything under control, but after doing this assessment I realized that I have areas to focus on. One area of my life that I need to focus on more is the psychospiritual element. I feel this area needs my attention more because it is not as developed as I would like. In order for me to greater develop this area I need to introduce exercises to better develop this area. Practices like loving kindness and using the subtle mind are a couple of ways to expand my mind’s capacity.

Great post. I was unable to find relaxation with this meditation. I have been unable to relax with any if the techniques except the first one we did. I am hoping to be able to relax with at least one technique. Jean St.John
ReplyDeleteHi Brittany,
ReplyDeleteI think that is a great area to develop. Although, I felt that I may be all together in some areas...I see that I too have some areas that need to be further tapped into. I liked this exercise as it helped me to focus on an area that I could improve. Mine currently could be interpersonal flourishing. Raising teens and college ages kids, there comes challenges as parents. Learning how to have interpersonal flourishing is key. I am working on it as to have a deeper relationships with my kids.
