HW420 - Unit 7: Current Trends and Research Supporting the Mind-Body-Spirit Paradigm

Track #4 of the Dacher CD-

The Meditative practice for this week was about becoming that someone you admire and feel very comfortable with and feel at peace. I admire my husband’s peace of mind and his kindness,loving heart, I felt good to feel as if that person my husband is me, ease and light no heavy weight on my chest or shoulders and the most scary of all I felt as I am that one caring person, not sure if I’ll ever be that caring but I guess with practice and effort I’ll gain some.

I think in order to advice even try to lead anyone to do anything, we must experience it ourselves in order to be able and describe every step of the way, the process will be easier to guide and provide support for those who need the holding hand. As an obligation to our clients we must learn the process and see what parts might be difficult to face and how to follow through of course always have in mind that every person is different and we carry different baggage but know that the process is the same and for some requires more time than others, one can only do this by self experience.

HW420 - Unit 6 Exercises for Mind-Body-Spirit Wellness and Healing

   Practicing these exercise and assessment process, I have discovered that before taking any action in whatever situation you might find yourself in. Analyze the situation before taking action, measure every detail do what feels best and appropriate.

  One area that I have chosen to focus more is dealing with my teenager, be VERY VERY patient and breakdown every issue, and know that she is only 16 and the only thing I can do at this moment is (communication) talk to her and reach out to professional help. I do think that seeking out for professional help once again would lead to a better understanding of how to maintain a good relationship with my daughter.

  Most of the time I feel frustrated and distress when I see my child don’t see the risk and consequences on many of her actions and ways.  The practice I would exercise would be the UNIVERSAL LOVING-KINDNESS this exercise will help me grow and develop empathic listening, seeing things the way she sees things and develop sensitivity, with this healing I would be helping myself to be able to help my first born child.

HW420 - Unit 5: The Key Role of Thought in Wellness and Healing

1. Compare and contrast the Loving Kindness exercise and the Subtle mind exercise. Explain your experience including the benefits, frustrations etc.
This was a great experience, just like meditating. In order to complete the exercise you must be in a place completely noise free. No kids running around and yelling like my kids. I have to wait till the kids leave. While completing exercise your mind actually starts feeling lighter not to a sleepy point but relaxing.

2. Discuss the connection of the spiritual wellness to mental and physical wellness. Explain how the connection is manifested in your personal life.
Once I complete the excise I can do this for a long time, I feel as if i was really by the    beach listening to the waves and no troubles, nowhere to be no one to attend, just me and my time. All troubles are carried away by the water in the sea.  I feel renewed full of life with such a lifted spirit. Feels like walking on air
