Unit 6

Hi class, after practicing the loving-kindness exercise, I am again reminded how important it is to take time in life to slow down our bodies and our mind in order to feel such positive feelings. This type of meditation that focuses on a specific feelings of kindness and the act of selflessness is a healthy reminder of humanity. When you stop and think, there is really nothing positive out of anger. It really is a wonderful reminder. After completing the integral assessment exercise, sitting and reflecting on an area or areas that need to be developed and focused on came very easily to me. I feel that I need improvement on psycho spiritual and biological health. Because I struggle with Lupus, I am always very fatigued, this is why I feel that I need to improve on my biological health. I sometimes feel very scattered through out the day, my mind is racing and I am trying to accomplish many things at one time. I know that developing a subtle mind would help me immensely. I also know that taking time our to train my mind through meditation would also benefit me. My biggest obstacle would be time. Upon awakening every day, I think of the things that need to be done, what everyone needs that day, what time everyone needs to be picked up, what laundry needs to be done, and what am I going to put in lunch boxes and what I will make for dinner, fitting time in to quiet my mind, always barely gets squeezed in at night. But I tell myself 10 minutes is better than nothing. I also sit and think how healthy I will be when I'm retired!!!
