Unit 8: A Review

As we are nearing the end of the course, we are to take a moment to review the practices we have tried so far.  The two practices I have found most beneficial are Unit 3's Rainbow Meditation and Unit 5's Subtle Mind.  I chose these practices because I felt as though they will help me improve some weak areas of mine.  I struggled with both exercises, of course, but with practice I know I can do better.  Unit 5's exercise would probably be even more beneficial than Unit 3's simply because I have a hard time not clinging to thoughts.

My goal is to meditate at least twice weekly (I will increase the number of times as my skills improve and as I have more time).  So, each of these exercises will be completely once weekly.  This should give me enough practice to really start developing the skills needed to find these exercises more beneficial.

Until next time...

  1. Erica ... I like your idea of beginning slowly with a small commitment to integrate your two practices into your life. I decided to do Asclepian Healing and ore Mindfulness (one-pointed) daily through Units 8 and 9 to see how that works. All the best to you as you journey toward wholeness!

  2. I will also begin a slow start into the meditation world, I have never really meditated until this class and I really like the feel I have after the exercises and then talking about with my classmates really gives me some insight on how others feel towards the meditation.

  3. As you practice you will find that beginning to meditate will become much easier and you will begin to feel the benefits of relaxation through the meditation. I have begun the meditation practices and now it has become an important part of my morning and when i accidently skip it in the morning i feel completely lost and have to stop and take a moment in order to bring focus back into my life.
