The two practices that I find to be the most
beneficial to me at this time are the Loving Kindness and visualization. One visualization practice that I connected
to almost instantly is the color relaxation process and when I practice the
loving kindness I think of my grandfather.
I also thought of my grandfather with the Meeting Aesclepius in unit 7, although
I liked it fairly well I will incorporate it less frequently than the other two. I truly feel that I have expanded my ability
to bring together my mind, body and spirit. With continued practice I am sure
my life and my health will flourish.
To implement these as habits in my daily life
I will let my needs for the day dictate which mental fitness activity I will
complete. My goal is to add one of these
somehow throughout my day. This will be
in addition to my daily physical activity that I may achieve. One example will be next week while I am away
from home teaching and staying in a hotel.
I am sure the fatigue and tension I will feel from the long days that I mostly
likely might need to utilize the color relaxation process. Not wanting to predict or plan, I will let
each day unfold and listen to what my mind, body and spirit will need in
addition to my workout.
Hello Candii,
ReplyDeleteI am glad you found these exercises beneficial to you. I liked the visualization technique myself because it helps me in a challenging and tough situation. Also especially helps in an interview. If I visualize how I will perform, I can repeatedly master it until I have it down perfect in my mind. When I come to the interview, I will be far more relaxed, confident and will have all the right answers.
Do you think you would share some of these practices with your client?
Hi Anjelica,
DeleteI totally will be able to share some of these practices with my clients. I have tried them and I understand their benefits. I will be able to share how positive they have been for me in my life, which I think is very important to the validity for anyone I serve.
What about you? Thanks, Candii
Hi, Candii. I chose loving-kindness and subtle mind. I DID get a lot out of the visualization practice, however. I love your idea of utilizing the color relaxation process. That sounds like a great plan. :) We should all do this every day......let the day unfold and listen to mind/body/spirit, and just go with the flow. :)
ReplyDeleteI completely agree. I like to go with the flow. Have a great week, Candii
DeleteI too like the visualization . It is so easy to do and can be done anywhere at anytime. Loving Kindness is a good one also but I find myself thinking more about the times I shared with the person instead of what it was meant for.
ReplyDeleteNice Scott, that is a great to be able to do that! Have a great week, Candii
ReplyDeleteI think the colors of the visualization exercise are very beneficial but I do believe different colors mean different things to different people. I did not like the red during the visualization, it made me think angry for some reason. Pale colors make me feel warm and bright vibrant colors make me feel cheery and excited.
