UNIT 5


1.    Compare and contrast the Loving Kindness exercise and the Subtle mind exercise. Explain your experience including the benefits, frustrations etc.

Maybe it is because I do these exercises at night after a long day of work but I always go into a semi sleep state.  I still know what is going on around me but I am at rest in my mind.  I loved the sound of the waves and when I first heard the flute I thought I was hearing things.  I have done yoga before and it is amazing how a little meditation can make you feel like you have slept for a few hours.  The only frustration is that I wish that I would make more time to really get deep into the meditation.

2.    Discuss the connection of the spiritual wellness to mental and physical wellness. Explain how the connection is manifested in your personal life.

Strong in mind, body and spirit is a goal.  I believe that when you are at peace with your inner self then all things are possible or more easily accepted.  Every person has their limitations.  Most people never want to face the fact that they have weaknesses.  If a person can accepted their weaknesses not as a dead end but more as a challenge to overcome or adapt then it promotes growth. These 3 things are like dominos. The body develops then the mind and finally the spirit.
