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.
Good Evening Wellness Bloggers,
The two exercises that I have chosen to be most beneficial
for my life and mental journey is Meditation and the Loving Kindness
exercises. I chose these because my mind
feels like a runaway train running on a shortened track and meditation will
allow me to just STOP and calm down these ole ragged thoughts of mine! As I am learning better meditational methods,
I am becoming aware of what my body needs and the importance of just taking a
few moments to relax my body, mind and spirit.
To release the stressors and negative thoughts of work and visual assaults
that pass my eye gates and focus on nothingness. As I meditate, hear the sound of my heart
beat, watch each breath go in and out I literally feel negative energy seep
out, replaced with more clarity and renewed hope of “You got this girl”!
My meditations involve pray and thanksgiving because I have
come to realize that truly I am blessed beyond measure and that my life could
always be worse. It is not, it is a life
that I have been given to do wonderful things, awesome feats and he gift of a
healthy mind, body and soul to lift and support others.
That brings me to the second exercise which is Loving
Kindness. I want to love others, I want
to help others and if I could take the pain away from the child with Cancer,
the man with AIDS, my family member with Sickle Cell Anemia I WOULD. . . . Yet,
what I can give them is my positive thoughts, my support without fear or worry,
my hugs, my joy and my prayers that they WILL be healed in God’s time in His
way. Loving Kindness as I am learning means to give
yourself to others with no intention of what they can do for you but out of a
freely flowing unselfish heart. I hope
as the years progress I will truly walk what I talk…
Be Blessed,
Desiree Stroder
i love your positive attitude about giving love and healing. Have you shared any of these techniques with your family members that have sickle cell anemia? Possibly they could find some relief in these methods also.
