Review the exercises and practice sessions you have completed in this course.
(Loving Kindness, Subtle mind, Visualization, meditation etc.) Choose two
practices that you have determined to be most beneficial. How can you implement
these practices in your personal life to foster “mental fitness”? Provide
specific examples
I think that the most beneficial practices for me, personally, have been the Loving Kindness meditation and the practice we completed last unit, Meeting Aesclepius. The Loving Kindness exercise will enable me to have more love in my heart and to let go of negativity bogging down my mind. The Meeting Aesclepius meditation will encourage me to mimic those who have lives that I would like to model mine after. I think continuing to focus on these two meditations will help mold my consciousness to experience life more fully. I have truly enjoyed this class and all in it.
My goal is to send Loving Kindness to the biological mother of my children. She relinquished her rights 10 years ago to abuse drugs. She is now clean but I feel she could still be a manipulative force in their lives and perhaps if I send Loving Kindness to her she will truly be able to transform her life
In Meeting Aesclepius, I will try to change my perspective my life and be a better person, authentically.

Hi Tonia:
ReplyDeleteI agree that it is easy to let our minds get bogged down in negativity. For me the best thing is to look for things to be grateful for. If we are being grateful it is diffcult to be negative. Having an attitude of gratitude, we cannot help but be happy.
I also really enjoyed the Meeting Aesclepius exercise.
Good luck with your future practices!
