Compare and contrast the Loving
Kindness exercise and the Subtle mind exercise. Explain your experience
including the benefits, frustrations etc.
Answer: Loving kindness exercise resting comfortably in your
natural state of peace and ease, bring to mind an individual, someone close to
you, who you hold with great love and tenderness. Loving kindness exercise does
not mean feeling love at the exclusion of any other emotions. Rather, it means
calling upon loving kindness to enrobe all or the emotions inhabiting us in the
present moment. Our emotions are shaped by our thoughts. The subtle mind
exercise explains we use the breath for two reasons. First, there is direct
relationship between the breath and mind. Peaceful breathing pattern leads to a
peaceful mind. Second, the breath is always with us so we can work with it even
in the midst of a meeting, using the breath, we will learn how to tame and stabilize
the mind by developing a witnessing consciousness. I tried both exercise and it
is beneficial for our health. I tried both exercise for 10 to 15 minutes and it
was hard doing it first time. Loving kindness and subtle mind exercise both
helps to relief stress and clear our mind and thoughts with peace and ease.

Discuss the connection of the
spiritual wellness to mental and physical wellness. Explain how the connection
is manifested in your personal life.
Spiritual wellness is
a personal matter involving values and beliefs that provide a purpose in our
lives. While different individuals may have different views of what
spiritualism is, it is generally considered to be the search for meaning and
purpose in human existence, leading one to strive for a state of harmony with
oneself and others while working to balance inner needs with the rest of the
world. It is connection between
mental and physical wellness. Mental wellness is depending on us how we live our
life. I always try to think positive when I am stressed out with work and
school so it won’t cause me any health problem. I have seen people that when
they get stressed out, they start drinking alcohol and ruining their life. I
really don’t want to part of that life. I should be thankful to god that gives
me beautiful with wonderful friends and family. Physical wellness is the
ability to maintain a healthy quality of life that allows us to get through our
daily activities without physical stress. I do physical activities five days a
week and help me to relief stress and maintain my weight.
