Exercises for Mind-Body-Spirit Wellness and Healing

The loving-kindness practice focused the mind on others and healing others through my thoughts and affirmations. This practice focused on the natural feelings of love I have and projecting them outwards into the world and to others. The integral assessment promoted internal development. The integral assessment had me focus on my inner development and helped me determine what area of my life I needed to work on developing more. As my thoughts of myself began to surface I observed that they are mostly filled with fear of the unknown. I need to develop my psychospiritual life and stay more present as to not allow my thoughts to control the outcomes of my experiences. My fears hold me back from achieving more than I do although I firmly believe that I can achieve all that I put my mind to. I am going to practice for mindfulness meditation and make sure that I take moments out throughout my days to stop and do some breathing exercises. I have also since implemented making sure I stay present throughout my days asking myself "Where is my mind" when I am feeling any type of anxiety, stress, and fear to foster greater awareness throughout my days. 

The key role of thought in wellness and healing

As a mother I try to remind myself that I am my daughter's first and most accurate healer whenever she is not felling well. The loving kindness exercise helped me exercise my level of compassion and led me to reflect on the amazing ways I can help heal others without the intervention of the person or conventional medicine. The subtle mind exercise focused on quieting the mind as well as staying aware of reactive thoughts that may hinder that healing process learned of in the loving kindness exercise. I find it hard to control thoughts of doubt in myself although I do understand that thoughts of doubt are unproductive,
Spiritual wellness is important to the mind and body as the spirit leads the person. Taking note of our mental state can help keep the mind clear of unproductive thoughts which can hinder the spirit and body from their optimal states of flourishing.

Person-Centered Wellness

On a scale from 1-10 I rate my well-being as follows in the following catagories:

Physical well-being: 7
Spiritual well-being: 8
Psychological well-being: 7

A goal  i have set for my physical well-being is to get better at my Yoga practice and to practice at least  5 days a week. I want to get better so that I can teach free Yoga lessons in my community to help others practice applicable mind-body therapies.

A goal I have set for my Spiritual well-being is a daily goal of at least 20 minutes of meditation. I try to make sure I get at least 20 minutes of silent time daily but I would like to become more in tune with my subconscious by listening to my thoughts and practicing intentional thinking and quietness. This will help me achieve a goal of mental wellness for my psychological well-being and allow me to properly control my emotions better than I currently do.

The exercise helped to relax me and actually helped me to sleep better. I was able to completely relax my mind with the breathing techniques introduced and it gave me a few new mantras to complete each day which will remind me of the relaxing feeling I felt while completing this exercise which I have over 3 times already.
