Unit 8: Optimal Well-being: Psychological, Spiritual and Physical Keys to Health and Thriving

Unit 8


Hey Everyone!
I think I will continue to use some of the meditative practices that I learned from HW420. I liked the Journey on Relaxation exercise, the Crime of the Century exercise, and the Subtle Mind exercise. I will continue to use these exercises for self reflection and relaxation. The other mediation exercises were a little to far out there for me so I probably will not use them in the future. 
The Subtle mind practice was probably the most beneficial for me. It was very relaxing and I found it very enlightening to just witness my mental activity without grasping any one thought that came to me. This exercise helped me to feel relaxed and rejuvenated. I also felt I could think clearer.
The Crime of the Century was also beneficial because it was very relaxing. I love how it takes you to a place of almost sleep, but then by the time it is over you really feel more awake and clear headed.
 I will implement these two practices into my life by saving them on my computer so I can do them regularly. I have found doing them right before my kids get home from school is perfect because I am calmer with them and feel more focused; which is something that was definitely lacking before I learned these practices.
