The two practices that I chose are the Loving Kindness and
the Meeting Aesclepius meditations. I
found this two were the ones that I enjoyed the most. In loving kindness I found that the
connection of love is important to health and wellness. Being able to connect to something greater
through love and feeling love will help you flourish. In meeting Aesclepius, I like the thought of
sitting down with a guide in meditation and letting any information that I receive
through the mediation be incorporated into my life. I like how I got more insight into a
situation or a clearer path as to where I should go. I would use these as daily mediations. Use loving kindness in the morning to get my
thoughts in the right direction and in a happy place before starting the
day. If I can make myself smile right
away in the morning there is a greater chance I will smile the rest of the
day. I would us meeting Aesclepius at
night right before bed to check in with my guide and see if there was anything during
that day that I can learn from and change.
Or, maybe I would be giving a different insight on a path to take in my
tasks for the next day.
You chose two different practices than I did. I think that the loving kindness is a great exercise but wasn't the best choice for me. I think you made some great points that if he can bring happiness into our lives and start our day of feeing positive than thats great. I think incorporating these practices into my profession would be fairly easy. I think teaching patients how to meditate to help with stress, anger, frustrations etc. are great coping strategies.
ReplyDeleteDear Angie,
ReplyDeleteI think it is awesome you have the chance to start your day with the loving kindness exercise. I get up way too early for that. I do like to do that exercise at night. It helps me to remember my day and check myself to make sure that I did give as much love as I could, to those who came into my life that day. I am starting to get into the meeting Aesclepius exercise. It was really hard for me at first. You make it sound super! I am taking a tip from you. Maybe I can get myself out of bed a few minutes earlier!
Starting your day off with loving kindness is a great way to keep it going thorough the day. It's good to remind yourself of what is important. What you give is what you get, and it's an amazing to be in that kind of environment.
ReplyDeleteHi Angela,
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about starting your day off right and in the right mind which will set the course for the rest of the day. I have been using the loving kindness this week too. It is really a joy to bring joy to others. I have had a kick watching people’s reactions. I have been trying to listen to them more as well to hear what they are really saying. I have heard a LOT of complaints. I wonder if people realize how negative they can be?
