Unit 10 Final thought about my assessment

 Hello everyone,

  After I read my unit 3 assessment about myself that I have not change dramatic on the three areas namely in psychological, spiritual, and physical. It relatively stay the same. I would like to improve in psychological and spiritual more in order to promote my own health where as I am tend to lack there of.

One of thing that I can improve would be going to church service more than usually. In this way, I may find peace and harmony with nature in promote the healing process of forgiveness that I have cause many  pain and suffering for myself and my family for the years. I have tried to meditation  as well in deep breathing in order to control my emotional side at least 4 to 5 time daily.
Therefore, I can come in terms with  my inner thought of  showing sign of compassion  as well as in forgiveness to others.

Another activity that I have tried was to join sport teams in order to erase my  negative thoughts of showing loving-kindness for myself and family. In this case, I can find peace with others. It 's going to take some times for me to  forgiveness others.

 For this class, it has brought me many good aspects of  integral health where I have tried to experiment them for myself. The only thing that I notice would be the five guiding principles namely: holistic, evolutionary,intentional, person-centered, and dynamic. It may be crucial for me of understanding the concepts of integral health. It has been difficulties and challengers for me to incorporate some of the ideas that mention  for this course as I am still learning to adjust some of the contemplative practice exercises. Therefore, I can assist with other people about this course as I am learning in more details. At first, I have to love myself as well as in forgiveness in order for promoting other people health.

Unit 9 Final Project on Integral Health Assessement

                                                      Introduction:

Many of the people wish for wealth, good job, and shelter and not thinking about their health status. I am guilty for not taking advantage of my own health. As a health professional, I needed to focus on my energy and practice by implementing the integral health practices. The three areas that I really needed to develop the most effective treatments would be in psychologically, spiritually, and physically of understanding the goals for myself.

Psychologically, I would think of the mental growth within individuals as well as the inner development among us. I maintained a regularly state of collectiveness where I would incorporate more daily of deep breathing and meditation in hopes of organized mindset. Personally, I believed that there are no such things as too much of mental clarity. In spiritually, it focused on the outside five limited senses that one might encounter such as the mind, body, and spirit. I am definitely felt as I am lacking of. It might be benefited for implementing prayer along with my daily meditation. Also, I would like to experience a higher sense of purpose and fulfillment in my life. Physically, it had to do with the good health condition where one must set an example between client and patient relationships. There are five guiding principles that individuals might have encountered in their lives namely: holistic, evolutionary, international, person-centered, and dynamic (Dacher, 2006). These are some of the concepts that individual might have chosen or of understanding the challengers and difficulties that the clients might face in obtain “integral health”.

                                          

                                        Assessment:

Rating my health domain ranged from 1 to 10 scales where 1 would be labeled bad as 10 for perfect score that included physically, psychologically, and spiritually. By using the rating scale in which I might need to improve in all of the areas. In spiritually, I rated a score of 3 where I had no faith in the creator. My score for psychologically ranged from 5 and half where I tended to use my inner development of rational- decision-process more than often. Physically, I rated myself to be 8; due the fact, I am in good condition without a major chronic illness.
                                                      

                                           Goal Development:

The goal for me was to feel more comfortable with spiritually, psychologically, and spiritually.  For spiritually goal that I would have to attend for meditation session from day to day where I would relax my body and mindset. My schedules are increasingly hectic as I am about going on deployment. I am not a religious person; therefore, I am a strong believer in good moral characters.  In psychologically goal for me was to incorporate in all that I do. I do not always have a quiet place for meditation from day to day routines. When I am doing chores around the house or even driving to work; I would focus on my breathing techniques through my nostril as well as in my body.  In physically, I would do at least 35 minutes of activities such as playing with my kid, walking the dog, and shoving snow.  Also, I really needed to work on my mediation and visualization. In this way, I would not over stretch my bones, so I would become more active. One of the ways for me was to incorporate eating food in higher nutrient values. In this way, my body would improve where I had less anxiety about myself and decision- process.
                                                      Practices for personal health:

I am already in good physical condition naturally as well as in proper nutrition follows. Therefore, there are always for improvement. I planned to implement two strategies to foster in my physical domain realm. The first would be in time management so, that I would stick to a schedule that affords me an opportunity to practice my physical exercise and mental. In this way, I would have two of my closest friends to help me keep me fits and preserve my communication skills toward each other. The second strategy was to design and maintain a nutritious eating plan by encouraging smart and healthy eating habits. My spiritually domain needed a dramatic change in which I am lacking thereof. I wanted to put into practice by attending weekly church service. For my daily meditation, I wanted to employ of deep breathing and calm-abiding (Dacher, 2006).  In psychologically domain would a very touchy one for me. My goal was to see myself in a more positive of two lights of exercises. It would be beneficial for me in a daily mantra by practicing three times per days. Also, I would like to implement a mantra that reminds me that I am happy and healthy that best served for me.  In the other hand, if I kept my goal manageable and reasonable for at least 35 minutes of connect breathe, to reflect pray, and love.

                                                      

                                                      Commitment:

Over the next six months, I would do a few different things to assess my professional or lack thereof. First, I would like to keep a journal for myself for behaviors that I might have experienced such as awareness, moods, and feelings, and encouragements.  I would put a rating scale of where I should be at.  Additionally, should I find that my goals are not attainable than I would set aside to plan B which may include lots of self-encouragement as well as reach my goals. Secondly, having companions to help me stay motivated that reflect upon my growing experience that would be beneficial in both emotional and developing oneness with other person’s journey (Dacher, 2006). However, this sense of togetherness would transcend into practice as individuals become professional in their own field. By maintaining a successful partnership in my personal life than it would be helpful for me to promote a healthy teamwork of guiding integral health and wellness (Amorok, Micozzi, and Schlitz, 200). If I could implement a strategy into my daily upcoming six months; therefore, it would be a habit.

Unit 8

Hi everyone,

 I have learn a lot about this unit and I would have to choose loving-kindness and meditation that I found its beneficial to my life.

 Loving kindness to me focused on many challenges of my life where I learned to embrace myself as well as other.  For this exercise, it taught me how to show compassion, equal care,  and unconventional love. It took me a while to focus on what I believed it to be beneficial as I listened to Dacher CD audio for a couple of time. Also, loving kindness have brought me close to  my spiritual than in the previous. I have been practicing this concept of loving-kindness by perform good deeds to other than my immediate circle  of friends.

Secondly, I really like the "rainbow mediation".  Each color of the spectrum   within the rainbows would tell me its functions to the human body. Also, it  showed me the different level of meridians within the human that often it promoted happiness by many culture beliefs.  I did not know that the organs would have represented the different change of colors at the beginning of the exercise until I listened for a couple of times. In this way, it brought my mental and psychological closer where I tended to be less anger. I have tried  to practice mediation at least 30 minutes for three time per days in order to help controlling my emotional. In this way, it helped with my blood pressure under control so, that I do not have to take medication.

Unit 7 Aesclepius Practice

 Hello everyone,


  As I listening to Dacher CD on the Aseclepius  practice that focused on the "subtle mind" of transform a person into my own. It brought me many memories of my grandmother who passed  away; since, I was a child. For this exercise, I heard my grandmother told  me  what to do by spreading words of  loving-kindness, compassion, and wisdom that I must overcome as I closed my eyes . As each breath that I took. I could see a beam of light touch my head and entered my body with the kindly wisdom of my grandmother telling to love one another. I noticed that that "bathe" of energy of warm light entered my body taught me to be kind and gentle to all living things on earth. Unfortunately, I have a loving wife and a 4 years ago son that I cherished both of them for the rest of my life. Thus, this exercise really really had help me of thinking about other than myself.

The statement on Dacher "one cannot lead another where one has not gone him or herself". It referred that the journey for the health care professional must set for example for the patient of feeling and thought that they are suffering while in the hand of the care-giver. To me it may suggest that we must look deeper into our soul about ourselves.  I needed to get in touch my spiritual that I struggled with its daily in order for me to achieve happiness and wholeness integral health.

Unit 6 blog

 Hello everyone,

 I really like this exercise assessment on mediation where I learned to touch  my inner thought and feeling  about myself. For this weekend, I must express my devotion to my wife that  I really care about her for being  with  me through good and bad  times. At first,  I must touch my unconditional love for her by showing that I really care for her. As I closed my eyes, I noticed that  I must learn to control my emotional  when I talked to my wife so, that I do not  hurt her feelings. In the other hand, I loved the chanting of the breathing of mediation through my mind and body spirit. 

The area where I needed the most to grow would be with  intentional and psychospiritual where I must overcome these two barriers within my life. Often, I do not hold my life experienced truly to myself where I tended to drift away from reality. I needed to focus on a single event. Therefore, I had  to experience more of anxiety than I should  be at this moment. Also, I must connect with spiritual more than I should be. In this way, I would not be mad at the world or at myself. 

Unit 5 Power Point Presentation on Mental Fittness

Hello everyone,
 This is my website for the Unit 5 Power Point Presentation on Metal Fitness.

Unit 5

 Hello everyone,

    I would have to say that this exercise was similar to the one that I have done before. I really like this exercise that I can relate to my personal life experiences. Loving-kindness may be defined to me as individual "grasp " of what he or she believed of opening one's heart to others by doing good deeds beyond  your circle of friends. It could be done by embracing strangers such as a hug that one would want.  Subtle mind tended to focus on breathing techniques that related to the body, mind and spirit for integral health.  One of the technique of breathing that help me calm down would be through  meditation.

  I learned from my master in the martial art. This art was known as Hapikdo (harmony and happiness). It  was original in Korea where the monk would learn to defense themselves against  outsider attackers. It involved several steps of breathing techniques. The first technique would  involve using "Qi" of the body by individual of conquest his or her fear.  This might be known as "fight to flight" response. He told me that individual needed to expand the body as well as breathing through the nostril so, that the body and mind could be interconnected with each other just as heaven and earth.  This might be known as "Ying and Yang". The second step of breathing  would involve  concentration such as happy events. I would like to think of water fall pouring down  on my entire body and experience the sensation of  feeling happy without worry about outside involvements. The last step of breathing would involve the five elements such  as fire, water, earth, metal, and wood in mediation By balancing these five element than one would feel happy as well in love . I have tried to relax my mind and body through mediation  for at least 3 times per day on focus my mind-body and spirit.

Unit 4 Loving-Kindness Practice

Hello everyone,
 
Question 1
 
I do know what to begin; since, I  have been listening to this audio CD for two days on how to answer this question regard to loving-kindness practice.  Personally, I am not kind of person reacted to loving and kindness of putting my subconscious mind to practice. The only thing that  I noticed for this exercise  would be to show an affection to other strangers that one might have encountered in one's daily lives such as  performed good deeds.  It might be called  to put one 's spiritual  and psychological in practice for individual to use. 

Therefore, I found this exercise to be more difficult  for me to answer or giving other people an advice about loving-kindness; while I have problems of related to my own decisions from daily. It might be from individual to find peace or comfort zones within  their lives. I would not recommended to other  if  individual was not able to know one's inner thought or feeling toward others.

 Question 2:
 The concept of  mental workout focused on daily commitments such as in loving-kindness and subtle mind practices. The benefit of mental workout would be in contemplative practices that the mind was able to expand beyond our consciousness thought or feeling such as the driving human flourishing.

The author did mention of beginning short exercises or relaxation techniques for 5 to 15 minutes  per days until one was able to practice longer period of times for the body and mind  interconnected with each others. In this way, the body was able to change some of activities that one incorporated in daily usage to promote integral health.

Crime of Century

 Hello everyone,


Well, I just listen to the crime of century audio. This exercise talked about the different color of prisms in the "Rainbow"  mediation in various parts of the body. My experience was that I did not imagine myself of seeing different colors that represent part of my life. This exercise might be only beneficial for those people with marriage problem and chronic illness. It might help those people with their daily lives with major events such as death of love ones or separate from their spouses.  I have tried to do this exercise by closing my eyes several times.  I just can not focus on those flashing color of prisms.  I  feel uncomfortable with  this exercise of reading or controlling other people thought or feeling with their minds.  It was frustrate for me that I was not able to concentrate or know how its reflected my life with different colors  of the rainbow.

Unit three entry

 Hello everyone,

 I can not believed that we are in week three. For this assignment, I  have to rate myself from the scale from 0 to 10 which  included A) physical well-being, B) spiritually, and C) psychological well-being. I would rate myself as physical to be 8.5. I  do exercise four times per weeks.  My Spiritual rate for me would be at 3.5; thus, I am not a believer in the supernatural. For psychological, I rated myself to be in 6.5 out of 10 scale.  This has always been new to me.

I think the goal for me psychologically, would have to continue with my study and become a better person. Also, I needed to control my emotion as well as angry. The goal for spiritual  has always been a struggle to me. I needed to be more active involvement with other people.

The activity that I would implement would be in the following  physical activities. I would like to work on  my upper body strengthen that consist of  endurance and flexibility.  I needed to work on the F.I.T.T. test programs that included curl-up, push-up, stationary bike, treadmill, free weight,  and pool exercise.

Welcome!

 Hi everyone and professor,

 I just want to say that I have been marry for  nine years with my wife Leakhena and my son Alexander who would turn 4 in two weeks. I can not counted how many places that I have live in the U.S or the friends that I have left behind. I have been in the state of Maryland for two years. I am constandly travel to new places due of my military service. I would like to settle-down  and spent more time with  family.

Reflection

 Hello everyone in Hw 420-02,

 I just want to say that  that many people throughout the world really do not have many loving or supportive from their family. They even have a hard time of adjust or the social-environment aspect such as finding work to feed their family or  their health. Therefore, I am in good health which my body and mind are still  working  until other people who are struggling with maintaing their  own health status.  

The only advisor that I would informal people was to maintain one's eating  and daily exercise regularly. It had to do with the intensity of the physical activity that one wanted to live a healthy life style. Often, people are craze for  buying vitnam supplementaries of fighting their youths.  They are even killing themselves. I believed that people should find an alternative solution of taking care themselve such as attending group therapy or talk about their making-decision process. In this way, one can overcome their phyical and mental.
