The Crime of the Century - Unit 3 Exercise

Listening to the audio is definitely beneficial to me in that it truly helps me to relax both my mind and body. I have never felt the kind of feelings that I'm experiencing since taking this class.  I've often practiced breathing techniques, but never experienced relaxation through audio.

The analogy of color--I think the author referred to it as "Rainbow Meditation", took me to such a beautiful and quiet place of calmness within my own body, all I can say is, "oh, what a feeling."

Just a very short time ago, I got upset about the smallest things in life, and was easily frustrated when things were not orderly and did not go the way I perhaps thought they should.  I did not have a lot of patience, nor did I have tolerance for foolishness or stupidity.  Through my own personal journey and maturity, I am learning that life is short and it is important to let go of the least important things and focus more on those things that bring me a sense of joy and happiness, such as focusing on the needs of others helps me understand my own circumstances as I seek to evolve towards a more psychospiritual approach.

My consciousness has now been raised to a level where I can and will, incorporate this exercise in my daily life to help my mind and body to maintain a sense of calmness and relaxation.

Well-Being on a a Scale of 1-10 (ten being optimal wellbeing)

My physical wellbeing on a scale of 1-10 is nine. I score nine since I'm not currently physical active.  My goal in this area is to begin an exercise regiment in the near future.

My spiritual wellbeing on a scale of 1-10 is eight.  I score eight since I've come a long way in my spiritual walk and yet, I have a way to go, and my goal is to do more to raise my spiritual level of compassion and to have a more loving-kindness attitude towards nature and everyone I encounter.  Daily reading of my bible and meditation on God's word will help with compassion and loving-kindness.  Additional meditative techniques will allow me to get more in tune with nature.

My psychological wellbeing I am going to rate on a scale of 1-10 is 6, since I am an early beginner in being able to cope with life's challenges, complexities, and setbacks.  I will occasionally allow stress to activate and take precedence on the right prefrontal cortex with negative emotions. Through the tools provided in this course, I hope to enhance my inner being and raise my level of consciousness as I move towards an integral approach of healing.
