Visualizing "The Wise One"

This week's exercise was easier than the other ones because even though I have not seen Jesus face to face I have the image that as a child I used to see at church. I focused on His face, His eyes, and I felt so much peace. I think this was due because at this moment one of my love ones is going through a very hard time and doing this exercise help me to lift prayers at a higher level. Many people don't believe in God or Jesus, but I do, I refuse to believe that I'm a decendent of a monkey. I decent from something big, bigger than any of us can ever imagine. I respect others believes and honor their honesty and sincerity. I think this was the best exercise because is like letting the soul meet its creator.

The phrase "one cannot lead another where one has not gone him or herself"  this to me that I can't lead by example when I have not experienced or lived what I'm preaching or trying to teach. For example, I can't go and try to be a marriage counselor when my relationship is about to end due to misunderstanding and constant fighting. I think we have the experience and have overcome those bad or good experiences in order to tell others about them in a form of advice.

Meditation

Meditation:

This mini-practice was a very nice experience for me because I was able to open my mind and my heart just by thinking about good and positive things. Wishing freedom from suffering, health, happiness, and wholeness to everyone not just my love ones or my enemies is much easier and sincere than focusing in one particular group. This is a great exercise that I would be doing more often. I really enjoyed doing. 

At this time of my life the aspects of my life that are a sources of difficulty are my biological, interpersonal, because of my weight, current living situation as well as my relationship situation. I feel that I’m connected with God, and that helps me a lot to let go and let God. =)

The area that I would like to focus on at this time is my worldly situation and interpersonal situation, because I need to move on in life and I know that by doing this I can focus more in my eating habits and work out a bit more. I hope that by developing one area at time I can move to the next one until I reach my wholeness.

Have a great week!

Subtle Mind

The subtle mind exercise was a lot easier for me to do than the love and kindness one, I think because it the focus point was the breathing. The background music also helped a lot in focusing in my breathing I really enjoy soothing sounds. This exercise was focused in calming and the stillness of the mind to eventually reach Unity Unconsciousness.

The connection of the spiritual wellness to mental and physical wellness is that these three are connected to complete the health of the wholeness (body-mind-spirit). I think there’s a stronger connection between mind and spirit than spirit and body. I think that often we feel (spiritually) what we think and think about what we feel (spiritually). When I lay down and think about my feeling towards my love ones, I use my mind and my soul not my body (physical action), I see the interconnection between these two more clearly.

Have a Great Week!
