UNIT 8
Review the exercises and practice sessions you have completed in this course. (Loving Kindness, Subtle mind, Visualization, meditation etc.) Choose two practices that you have determined to be most beneficial. How can you implement these practices in your personal life to foster “mental fitness”? Provide specific examples.
Calm-Abiding is one of my favorite exercises and my reason for this is based on my personal needs to relax and become more patient. By practicing for the past 5 weeks I have learned to obtain “a Teflon mind” experience. The thoughts feelings and images have begun to drift, rise and fall with out drawing any attention to my thoughts. The intention of this exercise to relax and to experience a calming mind replacing confusion, peace serenity, loving-kindness and balancing out my relationship with my physiology.
The other favorite is meditating on my breathing patterns, learning to exhale and inhale breathing rhythmically and intentionally. I love the most recent exercise where were focused on creative visualization of my happiest time, a time where we experienced wholeness’ and last but not least our health.
The ultimate experience of joy, and exuberance is to integrate these emotions, and these new experiences into our daily lives to experience human flourishing. The benefits of these meditations are: clarity of mind, happiness, a clear cut-plan to attain my goals, a much calmer sense of being even through adversity. I am a much better person as a result of this 8 week experience.
