The Universal Loving Kindness practice took me a second to
remember the phrases, but once I did I felt a sort of calming effect when I was
thinking about sending these feelings out in the world. Any anger or anxiety sort of diminished
because I was trying to have improved thoughts and feelings. With the Integral Assessment I was slightly
upset, though shouldn’t be surprised, that I probably need to work on all areas
as they need some growth and improvement.
The area that I would like to work on the most would be my
psychospiritual and Interpersonal areas.
I think that if I can grow in my psychospiritual health it will spill
over to other parts of my life and improve other areas. Though all areas are important, for me this
is the root of my problems and struggles.
I need to work on more meditation and yoga practices to help ease my
thoughts, emotions and feelings in order to relieve the stress I have.
Lexie,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that if we focus our efforts on growing in certain areas of our lives that is will ultimately improve other areas of our life. I believe that the love and kindness practices help to project the love and kindness within ourselves back to ourselves. Sometimes we forget that we too need love and kindness. I wish you the best of luck in your healing journey.
Great post Lexie, I think when you repeat a phrase over and over, you will begin to feel it. When something worries me, I tell myself that everything will work out just because I have Faith. I ran into a minor problem this morning that I still don’t know how to solve it but I am trying very hard to get it off my mind because I know it will work itself out. I also need to work in my psychospiritual; to me this is the most important one. When you reach your goal in this area, I think the others areas will also improve.
ReplyDeleteLexie,
ReplyDeleteI have seen where a few people were not pleased overall with the Integral Assessment exercise. I too think working on the psychospiritual health will help shape up other aspects of life. I feel once the spirit or soul is content and settled the other well being of the body will fall into place or at least get to a point where you are able to deal with it head on.
Hello Lexie,
ReplyDeleteGreat blog, I enjoyed reading it! The loving-kindness is easy, because it gets you more in tune with your loving side to care for yourself and others. I think for me the integral assessment had me thinking what I really wanted in life and how can I go about achieve it. Psychospiritual health is something similar to what I want, because like you said and I think it as well, “everything else will fall in place”. Wow, we are similar I think my health right now bring my spiritual wellness down too, because I want to be more health and keep praying I kick some of my bad habits. I think if I achieve this I will be happier and worry free on a daily basis.
