Hello everyone,
This has been a very difficult week for me since we had a house fire last week and lost almost everything with no renters insurance. It is tough with work, school, the stress of the situation, and life in general. Please remember me in your prayers as I could use it and the power of prayer is amazing.
I really enjoyed this exercise until the CD decided to die on me 6 minutes into it. It was easier for me to focus on something that I could see and bring my attention back when my mind got to wondering. I had a harder time with the loving kindness exercise than this one since I have a hard time with letting go of grudges.
I can see where the two exercises tied into each other. They both helped to calm the mind and make you focus on something else in order to let go and refocus for a brief moment. Both of these exercises required you to keep the mind focused and not let anything else deter you from that moment. These activities have been really great for me and have given me a much greater understanding of how the body works and how everything is affected by other parts of the body.
I intend to start using the mind body exercises in the morning when I am doing my AbCircle Pro. The mind is a very powerful thing. When you do not think that you can do something if you keep a positive mind and tell yourself Yes I can you will be amazed at how much you can accomplish. I think of this in terms of when we are physically feeling under the weather it affects our mental state and spiritual state as well. This is why it is important to treat the whole body as a unity instead of as an individual part.
Thanks everyone and hope this blog makes sense. I am so mind boggled right now. God bless everyone and have a great week.
Hi Edna, I am totally humbled by your strength and courage, and I am grateful that we all have this opportunity to expand our capacities through our adversities. I am grateful that your family is safe, and everything that was lost in the fire can be replaced. I think this could be your opportunity to make a quantum leap in health, wholeness, and happiness,because you now have an opportunity to calm your mind; I can imagine how noisy your thoughts are given your situations. If you could just harness your mind and generate loving-kindness to yourself; observe the nature of your grudges and fill your heart with love, forgiveness, and gratitude, the returns will far exceed your expectation.
