I really enjoyed the Subtle mind exercise. I found this exercise to be a lot easier for me to practice then the Loving Kindness exercise. For one thing, I found the cues to be a bit simpler to rap my head around. I found this exercise to be a bit more forgiving to my restless mind. I would like to practice this exercise because I felt like I could actually succeed at it.
To me, spiritual wellness is more solid when compared to mental and physical wellness. I have a very strong faith which helps me stay grounded. I feel strong spiritually even when I am physically ill, or am mentally frustrated. I think that spiritual wellness has a huge impact on mental and physical wellness. If a person is not grounded spiritually, they might experience mental and physical illness. Our reading in Unit 5 covered many aspects of this concept such as love, forgiveness and gratefulness.
Thanks,
Aaron

Aaron,
ReplyDeleteWere you able to get the Subtle Mind practice to work? My CD was not functioning and I was looking forward to this exercise, especially as I also enjoyed the reading.
I am glad you felt that it was a bit more forgiving, as my mind tends to wander as well.

Aaron,
ReplyDeleteI am glad you had a good experience with this exercise, some of us had difficulties completing subtle mind. The key word for me is practice and a lot of it. I will have to take some time to perform this exercise when all of the excitement cease in my life, as of now there are so many obstacles standing in my way. I am not going to give up on the subtle mind, I will continue to try my best..thanks for sharing.
