Unit 8
I have really enjoyed experimenting with the meditation practices mentioned in this course. I am also looking forward to finding more that might work for me.
My favorite practice was the Rainbow Meditation. I found this practice came very naturally to me, and I was able to fall right into it. My experience with this practice game me a light, carefree feeling- kind of like being a kid again. I feel like using this meditation in my daily routine will help me put life into perspective, let unimportant or negative aspects go, and help me to grow spiritually. It was kind of like a cleanse and I really like that.
My next favorite practice was Meeting Aesclepius . This practice gave me the chance to connect to a very special person and to allow him into my thoughts, emotions, and spirit. Some people just have a calming effect on us, and he is one of them, adding him to the guided practice gave me a genuine sense of hope for my future, since that is what he is always encouraging and addressing. Keeping up with this practice daily could give me peace of mind, serenity, courage, creativity, and more- all qualities and aspects that I value about him.
All of the meditation practices were interesting and beneficial in particular circumstances. I think I will find them all useful in my future involving health and wellness.
Hi Rocki,
ReplyDeleteI completely forgot about the rainbow meditation that we did. I think because that was closer to the beginning and I wasn't very successful. I do believe that over time all of these exercises that we have completed will become very beneficial to all of us personally and professionally.
I know that I will definitely use the Loving-Kindness exercise and the visualization exercise with my clients.
Which exercises do you think you will use professionally to help your clients?

Rocky,
ReplyDeleteI love that these were your favorites and that you mentioned them. It's so cool to see how different everyone's experiences are. These were probably my least two favorites for two very different reasons. The Rainbow meditation made me giggle and lose complete focus, whereas the Meeting Aesclepius left me uncontrollably sobbing. Both of these exercises I have every intentions of trying again, once I get to a more comfortable level with some of the others I found easier to use.
I have to agree with you on enjoying these practices and the two that you enjoyed the most. I liked all of them and found them all beneficial so it was hard for me to choose. The light care free feeling that you got was the same for me, can't say as if I have had that in a long while!
