Unit6

After reading Dacher's explanation and having the definition of working for a paycheck verses working at something you enjoy.  At this time in my life I am now taking time for me and going for what I want in life.   I have always had the care taker stigma attached to me.  From being a paramedic to today's present job.  I enjoy helping individuals and I receive the kindness that they offer.  I never let a client who needs help out on a limb.  I help them and even if payment is less or non-existence that is fine.  I 'm here to help and will never turn my back in those in need.

Doing the exercise of Kindness and meditation I find myself more open.  Letting in love feels so satisfying and doing what you love makes the difference.  Being able to give back to the community and individuals makes me smile and have a inner smile that never stops.  Finding this level and continuing to use it makes me a happier , selfless person, who gives love and accepts it in return.

Mind- Body-Spirit

After listening to the Subtle mind and revisiting the loving Kindness.  Having the ability to just float free in awareness and not attach to the thought make you connect on a new level of inner calm.
Being a positive individual and living with a individual who is always negative has become a real challenge.  With the times being hard it has become extremely hard to stay above water.  When that happens we start to feel alone and the negative creeps in.
I was in that state of mind a few months ago. I wasn't sure how we were going to stay afloat.  I decided to revisit what I had learned a year ago .  I began to meditate to get in touch with my  inner self and spirit.  I also turned to faith and basically told God I was in his hands and to show me the way.   We have made it so far and I have a chance to have my ideal job and the house will sell soon. Staying positive and having inner faith and strength  helped me. 
With the mind -body- spirit connection we give our selves the option to let go and to put our lives in the hands of the unseen while still being positive in all aspects.

Unit 4 MP3 exercise

Hi everyone,

This is a exercise I found very useful in every day life.  You may not be able to use it everyday but having the knowledge of it is beneficial.   After doing the exercise I found my self in a much calmer place and any negative thoughts were gone and only positive ones remained.  Even on our busy lives we need to take some time for our selves especially with all the negative feeling that are out floating about.  Having more positive energy and being positive in your thoughts is so important.  Individuals see that you are positive and want to be around you because you make them feel good too. I enjoyed this and will continue to use it in my daily life.

Unit3 Reflections:

     Having this exercise at this time is very interesting for me. I just returned from the doctors with results.   I thought they were going to be totally good but their is room for improvement.  I would have to rate myself at a 6.  My physical well-being needs improvement which means that my psychology and spiritual have room for improvement too.  After sitting and taking a good look at what needs to have improvement and being able to physically see it on paper their is no way to dismiss it.  Seeing it in black and white now we work on a plan and set the goals in motion to change so the mind, body and spirit can heal and attain the 10 that I deserve.  When the body and mind can work through the issue and come up with the solution it helps the spirit get a fresh start.   The total and end result is that the number moves toward the positive and not the negative.
     For the physical this means eating better making sure not to eat to many sugars,fats, sodium which will counter what the goal is. Incorporating exercise helps the body to change and the new habits are replacing the old bad one.  Which then moves us into the spirit when the body is feeling healthier the spirit is more alive it sees and feels itself getting stronger.  Progress is happening and going to continue until it goals are met.  The psychological needs to see the results to change the mind about hoe it perceives its self.  Having a good report and seeing the changes in them the mind can change and accept and be happy of the changes.  By making changes in diet and exercise is necessary and then taking time to do relaxation meditation is  essential for the body to full repair and recharge itself.


The Crime of the Century:
     This is a exercise that I have  done before and I use it before I enter into a session with my clients.  I like doing this  exercise I enjoy doing it out side with my feet touching the ground.    There is a feeling that my feet have become part of the earth and that I am totally at peace and with a whole new charge to it.  I am more aware of my surroundings and more in tune to what I need to do.  This exercise helps me help my clients and family and most especially me. I have new energy, and am in more control but feeling relaxed and calm after.  I love this and the feelings it  brings.

Reflective awareness

Hi everyone,

I totally enjoyed this exercise I was able to sit on my back deck in the sun and take in all that was around me. Letting go of the stress and tension of the week was fantastic. Listening to the birds chirping and talking to each other was very calming.  With the wind in the leaves and the warm breeze it was very peaceful.  Listening to the  voice of the narrator just added to the calmness and after opening my eyes I found 4 dragonflies just sitting on me and enjoying my calmness.  When I completed the exercise I was recharged , less stressed and ready for the next round.  I totally loved this and will continue it in my daily routine.
