Unit 5 Blog

Good evening!

I enjoyed the Subtle Mind practice and found it easier than the Loving Kindness practice. I am not sure if it was my frame of mind or possibly the many steps involved in the Loving Kindness practice that made it more of a challenge. I found them to be similar in the waves in the background, the soothing voices, and the mindfulness that was required to practice both exercises. The Subtle Mind practice was more personal, and easy to follow.

Spiritual wellness is the belief system that we follow using the core values that have been instilled in us and serve as our "GPS" system, navigating us through life, giving us purpose and meaning. Mental wellness is having clarity and control of our thoughts. Our physical wellness is the condition our body is in. The mind/body/spirit connection manifests itself in my life as I gain clarity of how my mental state affects my physical state and my core values push me to do the right things to take care of myself. I am now aware that if I do not take care of myself, I cannot effectively take care of others.

Regards,
Alicia
