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.

I bet being at the beach made this that more beneficial! I agree with you that the person needs to be open to this type of technique. Sitting still and trying to clear your mind can be difficult and if they go into it not really thinking it will work, they may not have good results.
ReplyDeleteI too, agree that the patient of this exercise must be open to it. I also agree that mental training, in any form, is great for anyone performing it, as our books said there is an endless amount of mental physique capable of obtaining and retaining, if you practice, it will come to you. I have been practicing meditation and have noticed my calmness after the session and throughout the day.

I agree that any ocean sounds are beneficial; it's so relaxing and soothing to listen to. I used to buy those nature sound CD's from the store with streams, oceans, birds, rain, thunderstorms, etc. I enjoyed listening to them at night to relax laying on my bed. Being very new to meditating I liked this practice but am still working on how to do what they people in the videos tell me to, but I know i'll get there.

Hi Billie,
ReplyDeleteI live close to a beach and I agree. I sometimes go to the beach at night and sit with my eyes close and listen to the waves splash and just think and relax. This is very soothing and relaxing to me. I agree that human flourishing will lead to a more happy and peaceful life.
Great post!
One of the most difficult things about living in Arizona is the lack of open water and rain. I grew up near Lake Erie, on a river, and of course there were lots of thunderstorms, these sounds relax me the best of all. I agree that meditation is beneficial to our mental health, but the specific form varies from person to person. Regardless of how we get it done, we should try to give our brains a break and I agree that our lives will improve when we practice being peaceful and loving.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post!
