SUBTLE MIND PRACTICE

Subtle Mind Practice focused in breathing and concentration. Dacher (2006) stressed “Used the breath as a focal point” (p. 75) It is a unique practice with periods of silence which I liked a lot. I found that the Loving kindness exercise is about sharing loving kindness with others. The Subtle mind practice aims to decrease mental activity, thoughts and feelings. Dacher (2006) recognized that “We must learned to quiet the seemingly uncontrollable and obscuring movements of our outer mind” (p. 71) This is not an easy task, the more I tried to stop thinking the more difficult became. The loving kindness exercise was easier to do. The instructions of the narrator helped me to stay in track of the exercise. The subtle mind practice will take longer to fully experience its benefits.

Connection of the spiritual wellness and mental and physical wellness.

Spiritual, mental and physical wellness refers as the integration of all aspect of the human being to maintain the balance between body, mind and spirit. Creating wellness can mean focusing on practices that benefit one or all of the tree dimensions: body, mind and spirit. Physical wellness includes healthy eating and maintaining moderate physical activity. Mental and spiritual wellness requires stress reduction. Adapting all these activities on a daily routine can promote physical, mental and spiritual wellness.
