Meeting Aesclepius

Meeting Aesclepius talked about your subtle mind. As I listened to this session I pictured my grandfather that has passed many years ago. This was a relaxing to me. I was able to connect in this way. This made me take a step back throughout the week and think about how life is too short. One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself. This simply means that we cannot teach what we haven’t experience ourselves. I believe this should be mandatory, just like it is with getting a clinical license. I can implement spiritual growth in my life by finding something to believe in...

Universal Loving kindness exercise was not too difficult for me. I have an open mind to everything, so I think that trait helps me with every exercise. The greatest area that needs work is biological category. I was on a healthy diet and for financial reasons I seem to have slipped off of the shopping list. I have had to buy microwavable meals to save money and time. This upsets me because I was doing so well. The assessment and exercise process was interesting due to it focusing on others. It left me with the thought that my problems are solvable. My area to focus will be my biological health. I need to get back on track with exercise and eating healthier.

Subtle Mind

Peaceful breathing does lead to peaceful mind. I practiced this at my desk, with all the commotion going on around me. I again, liked the ocean sound, just like the Loving Kindness practice. Ten deep breaths were a lot for me, but I did it. My mind did wander and I will practice this throughout the week. Spiritual wellness, mentally and psychically, relieves a lot of stress for me. This can ruin a person’s life if it takes control of you. I know I am not where I want to be spiritual, but I know where I want to be. I must get there,, before it is too late. Maybe I should live by the beach.

Human Flourishing

Any recording of ocean waves is beneficial to me. The relaxation of being at peace with my body soothed me. This experience was calming, especially since I was at the beach this past weekend. I found this recording easy to follow and it gave good advice, so I would recommend it to others. Daily mental work outs can create human flourishing. This can be done by meditating everyday for 5-10 minutes. I think a person must be open minded and believe in this technique for it to work. Once human flourishing is accomplished your life will filled with happiness.
