This semester has opened my eyes to the health and wellness benefits of establishing a mind/body connection. So exercises for establishing this connection, however, have not been useful to me while others have been increasingly helpful. The first exercise that changed my viewpoint on health and wellness and helped to generate a new found energy for me is the inner healer exercise performed with Track 4 of the Dacher (2006) CD. This exercise helped me to connect with the love, honesty, and integrity of the words, actions, and overall disposition of my grandfather. This created an intimate connection that helped me to establish these attributes for my inner self. I can utilize this exercise each morning to focus my thoughts and inner energy for the day. This exercise can also create benefits for me in my professional life as I can learn to speak only kind words and let my grandfather's presence eminate from me when dealing with difficult patients. Kind words heal and when you have prepared your mind to focus only on the positive, you produce the positive in your actions, words, and overall demeanor.
The second exercise that truly benefited me was the subtle mind exercise. Although I was not successful with this exercise at first, I found the health benefits of deep breathing and learning to focus my thoughts to be numerous. The most interesting and beneficial element of this exercise is that it gives you room to grow and make mistakes. It acknowledges that your thoughts may drift and helps you to refocus your mind as you continue to practice the exercise. For me, this exercise can provide me with significant personal and professional benefits. Knowing how to focus my thoughts to generate the actions I need to perform as a a nurse in critical situations is priceless. In addition, knowing how to focus in and be a good listener for others can help to form deep bonds in my personal friendships.
The critical aspect for me to remember as this semester winds to an end is that the exercises learned are for my health and wellness. They are not simply time wasted. As I become busy in my life, remembering this key element is difficult. It is important, however, to establish time to practice these health and healing exercises on a daily basis to truly benefit from their use.
These exercises have opened up my eyes as well. I have been able to really look at things from a different perspective and release some of the negative emotions. There are still a few areas I need to work on. The loving kindness exercise was the most beneficial for me. I was able to forgive and let go of a lot of feelings that I had toward certain people.We must practice them daily and I know it is hard with life being busy, but even if we took 10-15 mins a day.
ReplyDeleteI agree these exercises are beneficial and they have helped to meet the challenges of the day. Like you said Sarah, the exercises help to speak kind words and help us connect to others in a more peaceful and healthy manner.
ReplyDeleteYour grandfather as an important stable influence in your life was amplified in this practice and that is awesome that you can experience his love and wonderful disposition by practicing the mindfulness and meditation exercises we learned in this course.
Unfortunately there are a lot of AIDS/Herpes denials on Herbal cures still out there. I did research on them after I was tested HIV/Herpes positive I was so worried am I going to die soon. I continue my search again on herbal remedy for Std, then I found lots of testimony on how Dr Itua Herbal Medicine Cured HIV/Aids, Herpes Virus,Copd, Hepatitis, Diabetes, On websites sharing their testimonies, which made much more sense to me. All the authors pronounce Dr Itua As a man with Good Heart, I pick interest in their testimonies and I contact him about my situation then he gave me procedure how it works, I proceed after one week he courier his Herbal Medicine to me and instruct me on how to drink it for two weeks to cure. I receive His Herbal Medicine so I drank it for two weeks as I was told then after 2 days I go for a test I found out I was cured from HIV/Aids & Herpes Virus, I pay homage to him 2 months ago to his country to celebrate with him on his African festival which he told me it usually happens every year. I know there are lots of (HIV)/Aids&Herpes Virus denials of Herbal Remedy movement the same few doctors and they represent a very small faction of the community. I could have died because I refused Natural Herbs Cures for so long, but luckily, by the grace of God I am alive to tell my story.
