Unit 8-The benefits of taking time out
There are many things that benefit us in life. However, the two things that we practiced in class that can be beneficial and helpful in my daily life is visualization and meditation. I believe these two things go hand in hand. As we take the time out to calm our mind and spirit we can focus on visualizing one thing to help us remember something that brings us peace, calm, loving thoughts that helps us get to the state of peace and calm within our mind, body and soul. It is easy to focus on the negative and bring negativity into our life but I believe daily reflecting on positive thoughts can help us learn to train our mind to grow to think positive on a more routine basis instead on thoughts that don't bring us peace.

Hi Maisha,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have had great success with visualization and meditation, however, I have not. I agree, they do go hand in hand. It is hard for me to get into a meditative state sometimes and then my mind races even faster. This is when I go walking. It's all about mind over matter I guess and training/taming the wild/wondering mind. Nice chatting with you!
