Unit 5 Blog Assignment

Unfortunately, my entire track 3 was scratched, other than taking 10 deep breaths, I heard nothing but static after that. I can only talk about the subtle mind reading that I read in the book. Not that I do not agree that showing and practicing Loving-Kindness is important to mental health, but I enjoyed reading about the subtle mind so much more. It is very interesting to me how a witnessing mind can lead to a calm-abiding mind which then gives you unity consciousness. I am pretty sure that I have the witnessing mind down pat, but the calm abiding part is what I have to work on. I can clearly tell when my mind is extremely busy, but being able to acknowledge it and allow it to pass is the hard part. I can do this from time to time, but for the most part, it just is incredibly frustrating, this especially happens to me when I am trying to sleep.

Spiritual wellness is directly related to our mental state and our physical well being. Many people feel very spiritual based on their religion some feel very spiritually inspired by their own beliefs that they have required just by getting to know themselves better. Personally, I do believe in god, very much so, as I also pray to him daily, but most of my spirituality is based on my experiences and what I have learned about myself.

Blog Exercises

I am just posting a message to let everyone know that my posts have not been appearing on the top of my page. They have all been published at the bottom, including Unit 4's blog exercise. I believe I have finally figured it out though!

First time to blog

It is a beautiful day in Arizona today. I have my door open outside it is about 80 degrees. I can hear all the birds cherping, happy that spring is here, no doubt! I just put my 2 year old down and I have 1 1/2 hours to get some homework done before I have to pick up my older daughter and son from school. This is my first time to blog, I think it will be interesting. I've always wondered how my learning experience would be different if all my classmates were sitting in the same class together, maybe this will be the closest thing to it. Instead of talking about the subject at hand, perhaps we can all bring something new to the table. How about different types of work in health and wellness. Does anyone work in a holistic setting now? Would love to hear your experiences, Jenny
