Unit 8 Blog
The two practices I use now in addition to prayer, is meditation and visualization. This combination works very well for me. I already have a fierce love for people and wish that I could turn everyone's life right side up. Of course, I know that's impossible but I do make the effort to help as many people as I can. I believe that laughter is also good for the soul and do so often because it makes me feel happy inside especially when it starts out as a giggle and blossoms into a wonderful roar.
I'm actually smiling right now because it took me 8 weeks to finally get this blog thing right. I feel so accomplished. Now that I have the theory and I may continue to blog. There is so much to say and talk about as it relates to people.
Hope everyone is having a great week!

I agree with you that visualization works extremely well for me. I enjoy visualizing my self on a beach and when I do this I start to relax and feel the stress being reduced. I am still working on my meditation skills and hopefully I will keep getting better with it. great job
ReplyDeleteHey Jason,
DeleteYes visualization also works better for me as a learning tool. Somehow I just connect. Keep practicing meditating it will begin to become a natural state and life will be a lot sweeter.
Wishing you the best,

Iris,
ReplyDeleteI think that meditation is a very useful exercise. It can also incorporate many of the concepts we've learned, including visualization. This unit reiterates the importance and usefulness of meditation, especially with the research articles we presented for the assignment. One of the articles that I reviewed actually points out how meditation can alter brain chemistry and improve mood. I think that this is an excellent concept to use in your everyday life.
Yes meditation is wonderful. It calms you and gives such inner peace. It makes you feel that all is right in the world. Which eventually leads to good health and mental wellness. We can't get better than that.
DeleteThanks for your thoughts!
Hey Iris,
ReplyDeleteYou choose two great ways to create and project a life of success and greatness. I agree with you that laughter is a key ingredient that causes such a positive energy about you that people will draw to you. It is a wonderful thing to have a positive impact on an indiviudal that will follow them for life. Creative visualization is a mental technique that uses the imagination to make dreams and goals come true. Used in the right way, creative visualization can improve your life and attract to you success and prosperity. It is a power that can alter your environment and circumstances, cause events to happen, and attract money, possessions, work, people and love into your life.
Pepi,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the positive vote. I love all things positive - laughter, dancing, high energy in general. It does create a great environment and draws like-minded people to you. A good combination!
