Loving-Kindness and The Benefits

I want to talk about loving kindness today.  What does loving kindness mean to you?  Loving kindness to me means to do something for someone that has no ability to pay you back.  Loving kindness is displaying feeling of love to someone and not we ourselves.  In today's erra we do not show loving-kindness as much as our ancestors did.  We mostly are in a survival mode and only think about ourselves but we can change our thinking by incorporating sharing, caring for others, and thinking of other ways to help those that can not repay you for the service rendered.  Loving-kindness is a skill that all of us have to share with other people.  We sometimes just need others to point it out to us.

There is a book that I would like to introduce to you. Integral Health, The path to human Flourishing.  This book changed my thinking regarding stress and how it applies to our health, psychological, and spiritual aspects of our being.  The audio CD that accomplice the book really explains the philosophy of the east and how it can help you stay healthy during your stressful day. The CD is wonderful with the sea roaring in the background and the narrator talking the troubles away.  It is really relaxing to the body and rejuvenates the mind for a brand new day the lies ahead. 

There is section of the book that talks about "mental workouts".  Everybody has a change mechanism within their own heart.  Mental workouts just means to take old habits and convert them to new ones by retaining the mind to think about others first before yourselves.  Yall, I am a visual learner and kinetic leaner and I have to see it before I can understand what the author is saying.  I hope and pray that most of you would take this loving-kindness and practice it throughout your day.  It may take a little time for some but it is a mile stone for others but take it one day at a time and you will see the difference. Take care and be in good health.

Personal Journey

When I was assigned this exercise assignment i was not to trilled.  I really had no words for the audience in reference to my personal life.  I am in the public eye on a daily bases and wanted to prove a part of me as civil as I can be with respect to Kaplan University.   I took a shot at being open and relaxed when providing information to the public about how I feel about my life both past and present.  I have the most wonderful classmates that also helped me to realize that they are human also and able to make themselves varniable to heal from past and present hurts. I read the class assignment and realized that out of all of the sessions that we have had loving-kindness is the biggest one on my list.  As a Health care Administrator, I am emotionally comforting the patients and families during a trail in their lives.  In my career I use to think it is me that will keep a level head and not realizing that I too have feeling that needed to be addres...

The Sudtle Mind

Take and deep breath and let it out very slowly now open your eyes and ask yourself how do I feel?  Breathing, we take it for granted every time we take in a deep breath.  We tend to not think about it until we are no longer able to do it on our own.  Breathing is an essential part of our relaxation and calmness in our everyday lives, we are not just aware of it.  Breathing is the focal point of our health and wellness and in other activities such as mediation, yoga, and prayer.  I really feel that the physical, spiritual, and mental aspects of a person are one.  There is no one person that can live without one of these points in life.  I believe as a caregiver and administrator that if a patient lacks a positive attitude and holds frustration, anger, and unforgiveness the patient will present with sickness and disease. In the CD from Integral Health, The Path to Human Flourishing written by E. Dacher, focuses on breathing and letting of all the tr...
