First let me start off by saying that my previous blogs have apparently been on my google account page. I finally found the "new post" icon to enter a new post!
This week's audio was very interesting....I found it amazing how the audio used breathing techniques to symbolize taking in the suffering for a loved one and then exhaling the love and joy. I thought that it would make me keep in the suffering feelings but I was able to let them go. I have to be honest, in the beginning I felt really weird. I don't meditate at all. Not that I am against it or anything, I guess I just never learned how. It took me most of the audio to relax and be serious about it. However, after the next few times I did it, I was getting the hang of it. I finally felt relaxed, and I think it was very beneficial for me. I would definitely recommend this to others. If someone is looking for help somewhere in their lives then they have nowhere to go but up right?
The concept of a mental workout is to literally take the time to exercise your mind. Our mind can make us or break us. Our mind has the power to transform us not only spiritually and mentally, but physically as well. Just as we take the time out to exercise physically, the same should be done for the mind. Exercises like the audio for this week is a great example of it. Research indicates that a mindful workout can lower high blood pressure, decrease stress levels, increase sleep, and many other benefits. I am going to have to carve time out of my day to include mental workouts. I think I can stay awake an additional fifteen to twenty minutes each night to squeeze this in. In the end I think it will be well worth it.
Hi Karen! Thank you for your post. I commend you for hanging in there. I am glad that you found it beneficial. I actually believe in energy healing. It took me a while to get over the fear of holding in the negative. With regular visualization and positivity I was able to get through that. I have only ever used energy healing when actually physically with that person. For instance, when my son had a earache, I would envision a white light moving through his body dispelling any pain or blights in my son's body. I always found it helped.
