Compare and contrast the Loving Kindness exercise and the Subtle mind exercise. Explain your experience including the benefits, frustrations etc.
While I found both exercises particularly relaxing, I enjoyed the loving kindness exercise a little more. Both exercises seemed to have the same goal ultimately, which was to obtain a "peace of mind". The loving kindness exercise seemed to focus more on actually adressing the issue while the subtle mind exercise seemed to focus more on clearing the mind. Aside from these similarities and differences between the two, I found them equally useful. They both helped me to achieve a relaxed state by the end.
Discuss the connection of the spiritual wellness to mental and physical wellness. Explain how the connection is manifested in your personal life.
Spiritual, mental, and physical wellness are completely different types of wellness but are interconnected. These types of wellness are intertwined so that health or illness in either can have an effect on the others. The connection between mental and physical health are impacting my life at this moment. I do not want to get too much into detail but I am going through a great deal of stress. I have noticed a rapid decline in my physical health since the onset of this particular stressor. I notice that on days where I do not feel as stressed, my body is not as sore and I am also not as exhausted. I have been trying all of the exercises that we have covered so far to alleviate mental stress. I have to say that it has been working, although I know I have a long way to go and need to eliminate the stressor.
