“There are direct relation between the breath and the mind”
(Dacher). The loving kindness and subtle
mind exercise are similar in the music used with the waves of the ocean as
background. The loving kindness exercise
has the focus of loving yourself and sends to someone you love health,
happiness, and wholeness. The subtle
mind exercise has the focus of quiet and calm your mind, this exercise helps us
to develop the witnessing mind.
My experience with these exercises was overall
positive. The loving kindness was easier
than the subtle mind one because I could concentrate and focus my mind in the
instructions, but the subtle mind was kind of challenging. The reason why it was challenging for me it
was because I could not calm my mind enough to follow all the
instructions. I think I have to practice
more frequently to dominate my mind.
On the other hand, spiritual wellness is connected to mental
and physical wellness because when we are lost spiritually is more difficult to
calm our mind and have overall wellness.
In my life when I feel spiritually disconnected, I feel something is
missing in my life. Like I am not
complete and I have like a hole that needs to be filled. The connection of spiritual, mental, and
physical wellness is what I think would make me feel happy and complete.
