Compare and contrast the Loving Kindness exercise and the Subtle mind exercise. Explain your experience including the benefits, frustrations etc.
The subtle mind is an excercise to let go of thought as is passes through the mind. The Text describes the mind as an ocean with waves of thought on the surface. As we are able to dive deeper into our minds the water becomes calmer and the individual becomes less moved by the endless array of thought.
Discuss the connection of the spiritual wellness to mental and physical
wellness. Explain how the connection is manifested in your personal life.
Spiritual wellness to me is the gule that holds everything together. I almost imagine your spirit as the cup that holds your mental and physical abilities. If your cup is small you become overwhemed easy. Also if your cup is broken things leak out. I believe this is why my master always says empty your cup before class. I feel that this is allowing our spirit to obtain new knowledge and wisdom.
