Controling the beast and releasing love and kindness

The first exercise I couldn’t totally relax and focus on it due to the fact I was reading and trying to memorize the phrases. Once I did it I found it created a more kindness and stillness and an empathy feeling toward individuals I encountered. I don’t know if its because4 I memorized the phrases and that’s what came up every time I encountered someone. But all in all very interesting exercise. I believe people genuinely want to be nice but the fear of rejection and being taken advantage of holds us back from doing so. Which leads me to the second exercise, I think my focus is on psycho spiritual dealing with my emotions. Simply because being the youngest of 10 kids growing I was on the receiving in of a lot of sibling joke and pranks. Nothing major just the normal older brother and sister pranks but multiplied 9 times. But I do feel that made me as I got older to have a no tolerance attitude I didn’t start trouble but I didn’t run from it either. I spent a lot of my days in the principal’s office for defending someone that I saw getting bullied or made fun of it always triggered my child hood experiences. So I found that in my adult life I had to find a better way to channel this energy either join MMA and deal in the ring or learn how to meditate and not be so emotional but emotional enough to react in a positive way and not destructive,  meditation and surrounding myself with positive quotes and sayings. The outdoor hiking does wonderfully also.        

Suspended Animation

I found this exercise much easier to do by me focusing on my nostrils taking in air I was able to acknowledge passing thoughts and let them gently pass through. I became real relaxed but not sleepy almost like I was suspended animation state. I was aware of everything but not a part of it. For me this was more beneficial to me then love and kindness in its own way it made me focus more in ward and my own thoughts and why I feel them instead of just projecting love and kindness because I chose to project those feelings.         

Psychological growth

This week I learned a lesson over that my mother has always tried to teach us growing up as a child treat people how you want to be treated and what goes around comes around. more or less but on a way deeper level. I practice this all week and I must say my experience with the exercise was good it will be beneficial once I practice it more and develop it. The only problem I had was trying to figure out who I love the most and trying to focus on two people was difficult. I would recommend this to everyone in management to learn this and do it before every meeting and before every encounter with the employees on the floor. I think it would help with the communication issues we have.

            The concept of mental exercise is the same as any practice if you must commit to study and develop your technique. With the mental exercise we need to clearly understand the practice method that you will be using. Not just closing our eyes and relaxing but  the progressive development of an expanded consciousness and its healing capacities or we will see a decline in our conditioning.  

Over All Well Being

With being physically active I would rate my physical well being as a 6 I do workout and hike 5 times a week.  There are time when I don't workout as hard as I should and those times I feel I have cheated myself. For my spiritual well being I would like to believe I am a very spiritual person so I would rate it as a 6 also. I love setting and taking in the simple things and my entire environment, I try to keep myself from a lot of drama and things that are not going to make me a better man or add value to my life. When I encounter people I always ask myself I wonder what their story is and how they arrived in life where they are. My psychological wellness I would rate it at a 7 with me being the youngest out of 10 kids I was always the one who looked at the glass half full when mom couldn't afford to keep the power on in the house for only 6 months out of the year. I looked at it as a way to get to know my siblings a lot better and spend more personal time playing the many board games we began collecting. I feel that when things go bad yes it's bad but it could be worse for example with my job it's a lot of overtime right now and balancing time between being here and being at home is a challenge some me and my wife came up with a way to spend time as family by having two days out of the week we both leave early cook a meal as a family watch a movie or play a board game. depends on who's turn it is to choose. This way we are still keeping in touch with each others lives and the things going on in our daughter's life. The thing that I would do to keep moving forward for all the wellness's physically I would increase intensity and reduce time, spiritually I would be less hesitant to help people in need, with people being robbed when helping someone change tire I have thought twice about helping so I will stay positive and roll up my selves like I use to when I was younger. Psychological I would work on being more in tuned with the things that people are saying to me instead of how they say it because I need to recognize more the emotional state they are in and not make quick assumptions. For the relaxing exercise it didn't really do anything for me I guess it's due to I have my own ways of relaxing for me nature sounds are my thing.
