Ok, I just have to say we are half way there!!!
1.Compare and contrast the Loving Kindness exercise and the Subtle mind exercise. Explain your experience including the benefits, frustrations etc.
I liked both of the tracks, they are very relaxing. I often have found my mind running on me and I have had to stop it. However, I have came up with some really good ideas with my running. I believe the difference for me is allowing the silliness to continue.
2. Discuss the connection of the spiritual wellness to mental and physical wellness. Explain how the connection is manifested in your personal life.
For me, I can heard God when I dont have the radio going, the TV on, or any other thing might be distracting. He always speaks, it is just a matter if we are able to tune everything out and hear his voice. He will never scream or yell at me to get his attention. So for me actually having a quieter mind allows for God to talk to me and I to him which that is all he wants from us, a relationship. I do enjoy listening to christian music espically christian rap. They have came a long way! For me, it is where my mind is set, if I focus on God, then the other problems of life do not seem so bad.
For those who do like this type of music, try looking up Lecrae, Pro, K Drama (pretty good stuff!!!)
Casey,
ReplyDeletePlease share your some of the your idea for calming the mind. I could use some good pointers. My minds is always going. I call it a hamster on a wheel.
What a wondeful connection you have with silenece and your realationship with God. I am learning and expanding on my own walk and relationship with God. I hope that one day through all my noise, that I can hear Him speak, I am working on it. I have to try and remember what you said. If you focus on God all other prolems of life don't seem so bad. I always tell myself that God would not give me more than I can handle. Tammie

Casey,
ReplyDeleteYes, we are half way there! That makes me feel like a hamster on a treadmill. It is amazing! There has to be a TV on or some type of noise. I am beginning to find a calmer mind without some type of external background noise.
You made a point about hearing God. Are we afraid and that is why we consistently have noise going on. I am a gospel fan. There are a few groups with really good Christian rap. T Bone is an old Christian rapper. I will check the ones you suggested.
We are going to do this!
