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.
