This week we were asked to review all of the exercises and practice sessions that we have completed in this course and choose the two practices that we have determined to be most beneficial.
I think that meditation would be the first one because in all the exercises you are doing some form of meditation. The second one that I would pick is "Crime of the Century." I enjoy Chakra meditations and meditations that help with visualization. I feel that they help you train your mind better. If you can visualize it you can make it happen. I implement these into my daily life every day. I do this my setting goals, seeing myself reach those goals, and accomplishing said goals. I have found this easier to do because my focus has increased. My focused increased because of meditative practices and I achieve things faster because I visualize the best way to get things done so visualization is also key.
While these are the best for me, it does not mean they will be the best for you. It is up to all of us to determine our own path and what is best for us. Oh, and one more thing I find useful to remember: Just because it is good for the goose, does not mean that it is good for the gander. We are all individuals and should remember that.

I forgot about the Chakra exercise. I enjoyed that one too! I like the way that you use it for your goals, I am so not a goal oriented person, but I can see how using this would be helpful. It reminds me of the saying that they used to use in the church I went to… name it and claim it. I use this in a way in my weight loss pursuits, seeing myself thinner and doing the things I want to do. The Chakra exercise I think brought me closer to my body and feeling what was going on with each area of the body.

Anita,
ReplyDeleteI too like the chakra meditation. I like starting at my feet and working my way to my head using visualization of the colors as I go. If I find myself stuck in one area I will work on that spot more than the others.
Visualization is great. I used this in volleyball and now in running. If I can see myself turing in a personal best I will; if I can see myself crossing the finish line running, I will. I like how you use it in your daily life. I should be using this practice this week to get my work projects done along with our finals.

Hi Anita,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your blog for unit 8.
I think it is so neat how you are using the visualization exercise as a daily planner, setting your goals and keeping your focus. I think all of these medication mp3 exercises were great and very beneficial to all of us in more ways than one.
Sometimes we need to take the time and slow our lives down and enjoy life without being in the fast lane so you can take the time to begin the levels of good health, great happiness and total wholeness as you grow old...dorothy

I really liked that you ended your post by noting that everyone is an individual and has individual needs. :) Too many times people won't try something because others say it didn't work for them... People need to be strong and try things for themselves, instead of worrying about trying something new.
ReplyDeleteThe Chakra exercise was also one of my favorites. I have done many different exercises involving my chakras and I find them to be very beneficial. :)
