Loving Kindness VS Subtle Mind
Both exercises emphasize the importance of relaxation and the clearing of your mind. The Loving Kindness exercise seemed to be a bit more technical and the instructions were somewhat complicated and distracting. I had a difficult time on this one. I was trying so hard to concentrate on the directions that when I didn't understand them I became frustrated and anxious. The second exercise, Subtle Mind was very much different in that its instructions seemed to be much easier to understand and follow. Unlike the Loving Kindness exercise where you explore your many levels of consciousness, the Subtle Mind exercise focused primarily on your breathing and a focal point during the relaxation. This kept much of the distraction out of my head and helped me focus much faster and longer a well.
The Importance of the Spiritual Wellness Connection
The connection of spiritual wellness between mental and physical wellness is so much greater than most of us realize. For me personally it connects my heart and soul to my mind and body. Without these connections our life would possibly be without faith or hope, without love or grace or compassion. These are just a few things that I would be left without if I had no spiritual wellness. It is different for all of you I'm sure. But there is undoubtlably an importance of spirituality in all of our lives no matter what belief you have.
