Unit 8
The two exercises that I have found to be the most beneficial during this coarse is the subtle mind, and the visualization exercise. I still practice the subtle mind as often as I can, because it helps me to not feel controlled my anxious thoughts, but rather it puts me in the role of an observer, and from it I can gain a lot of awareness. This has helped to reduce my anxiety a lot. I really gained a lot of love and perspective when doing the visualization exercise. It reminded me once more just how much my kids me to mean, and how much of a gift children are. It also gave me a unity awareness of how we are all precious like children, and that that is our ultimate goal, to once again become like little children. I think that exercise will be a little more difficult without guidance. But I will try to focus on positive visualizations of things that make me happy and go to my "happy place" more often.

Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteI like the way you put it, our goal is to become like children. It is so true, we want to be more care free and relaxed. I have also used the subtle mind exercise to help relieve anxiety. I think doing these exercises has really helped me with my stress. I am really glad I took this class to learn more about spirituality and training the mind. Congrats with almost being done with your BSN! I have 4 more classes after this. I can finally see the end!

Jenifer,
ReplyDeleteThe Subtle Mind exercise is very beneficial for controlling the anxious thoughts. I am so happy to hear that you are benefitting from it! I have been suffering from some severe anxiety and trying to work through it. Meditation has been beneficial but I keep forgetting to practice subtle mind in order to keep the overwhelming thoughts from taking hold. I will try to practice this more in order to become more of an observer of my thoughts. Good luck!
