QUESTION:1. Based on your reflections, and on a scale of 1 to 10 (ten being optimal wellbeing), where do you rate your A-physical wellbeing, B-spiritual well-being, C-psychological well-being? Why?A-Physical well being, an 9. –
ANSWER: Through this Health and Wellness program, I have learned how to ignite my self confidence, and to strengthen my will power. By learning to eat foods that empower and provide proper nutrition vs. eating foods that are tasty, but offer minimal nutritional value. I love my BODY! However, there is room for improvement. I am a firm believer that if you can control your mind and will power you will be able to overcome any obstacles that prevent you from staying on course.
GOAL: It is important for me to obtain a BMI of 25 by March, 2011. At the present moment my BMI is 29.9. Therefore, I must continue to eat proper nutrition, adhere to the recommended daily allowance of fruits, vegetables, integrate a balanced diet, eliminate carbohydrates, exercise daily and obtain the adequate amount of daily sleep
B-Spiritual well being: a 10 – I fully recognize that I am a spiritual being in a human body and am spiritually guided, through meditation, chanting, yoga, and fully realized mind body and spirit lifestyle.
Goal: fully integrate my professional work 100% as a spiritual practice and not as a job that I must do to obtain a paycheck.
C-Psychological well-being: 8 – I teeter on the work that I do and the work and my divine purpose.
Goal: Become to learn that patience is a virtue, and that I am confident that I will one day soon do the work that I was put on this earth to do, and that it is to create a healing environment where I can full transform the lives of others through integrative health programs. The vision: To heal, sustain health and live a loving flourishing life. So be IT!
3. “To become the change that I want to be and see in the world”. To begin to deeply integrate, peace and harmony which will facilitate a wonderful healing paradigm into my life. I recognized this past weekend that this was the piece of the puzzle that was missing in my life and the life I share with others.
AHHHHHAH! What a sigh of relief and so the healing begins.
4. Complete the relaxation exercise The Crime of the Century. To hear this exercise. Describe your experience. (What it beneficial? Frustrating? etc.)
4. The relaxation was very rejuvenating. The journey through the chakra’s were enlightening. The color scheme of the 7 chakras: Muladhara, Cervix, Swadhistana/Base of the Spine; Manipura/Navel;Anahata/Heart; Vishuddi/Throat; Anja/Brow; complimented the colors of the rainbow. When I relax and feel peaceful, I can hear and feel beyond the normal range of listening. I become energized and extremely creative open and receptive to new ideas doing ordinary tasks in an extraordinary fashion.
NAMASTE’

Comments on the meditation: My experience with the meditation was blissful. It allowed me to remove the cobwebs of thought that was hovering over my personal space from the previous week. It was freeing to my soul and upon completion of the exercise I felt rejuvenated.
What I enjoyed most was the opportunity to free another individual from their pain and suffering. This meditation exercise is similar to the Tonglen practice shared by the Buddhist, Pema Chodin. The premise behind the teaching is that we must have compassion for others before we can experience compassion for ourselves. The core of the practice is to breathe in another person's pain so that they can be well and experience more space in their heart so that they can begin to relax and heal.
This experience was not only empowering, it was an all knowing experience. I truly felt the recipient of this clearing meditation taking a sigh of relief. I could actually feel their heart expand and exhale from their stuckness, pain and relief from their suffering.
When directing the flow of energy from our stomach to my hands I immediately feel the tingling sensation that confirmed: Energy Follows Thought. I have spent many years practicing, and honing the appropriate positive, and pure energy of thought to flow where it has genuinely been directed.
This exercise promoted a deeper sense of relaxation and opened my thoughts to new ideas about how to assist others who desire relaxation and stress management.
