I have to say I enjoyed this week much more than the loving kindness as focusing on the breath helped me relax more, because with loving kindness I pictured my dad, and then got upset . For me this week there was no frustration just relaxation and letting go. For me the connection of spiritual wellness to mental and physical wellness is big, I know that when I am upset I feel unconnected and then I get aches and pains in my body, or when I do not have time to breath and meditate I feel unconnected so it all ties in so much for me.

Week 4

After doing the loving kindness, I was open in the beginning, but when she mentioned picture someone you love I saw my dad. It was very hard for me because all sorts of emotions came up like missing him. I found that I could not just relax because I still grieve so much. I think this would generally be a great thing to do with clients to help them relax and focus, however for me I think my grief is still to strong.
A mental workout is where we need to train the mind just like we would for a sport or study for a test, and that when doing this help with easing the mind and I can implement this by practicing daily .
Thank you

reflections on wellness

1- I see my level of wellness, physically not so good right now as I am sick,but also because my spiritual well being is suffering now as well, because of my dad's passing, which will also affect my psychological well being.
2- I am trying to move forward by mediating for spiritual and resting for my physical well being as I think I have been working out too much.
3- Really did not like the exercise I sort of found it frustrating, but I think more because I was sick and just wanted to be asleep.

Reflections on Relaxation

Welcome everyone to my blog, I would like to post my reflection on our relaxation, that we did. I thought it was good, my heartbeat slowed and I felt a little less rushed. the one issue was that I thought it was a little low and too much explain, I generally like to close my eyes and just focus on breath.
Thank you
