"Close your eyes and try the exercise. Rest into the ease and stillness of your mind and body, releasing all mental activity. When quiet ask yourself which aspect of your life-pychospiritual, biological, interpersonal, or wordly and focus on the area." Dasher (2006) pg. 115
I have tried and tried this assessment and it is making me feel kinda bad about myself. At first I though, for me personally, I needed to adress the biological part of my life since I am a "bad nurse" I don't take the time to address my physical health, so that would be my first point of interest. Then I kept on reading and realized that perhaps I should work on some interpersoanl relationsips..as my fam,ily is always in turmoil (addiciton issues)...and then I kept reading. Maybe I should be focused on my spiritual part of my life. alhtough of all of the choices to be concerned with, this would need my least attnention. The overall discovery that I have made in this exercise of thought is this: I am a mess, a true work in progress. I guess I should address my physical health first, becuase if I doe I won't have to worry about the rest. The more I read of this information the more I feel badly. Literally I have been feeling not so well physically since reading htis material. Yes, I know, MIND, BODY and SPIRIT are all one in the same. This has been eye opening!
HELP!

Sharon,
ReplyDeleteYou are a blessing!
I relate to the need of taking care of my physical health. When it come to integral health, I am messed up all around too. The only part of these meditation exercises that really seem to help me is the deep breathing. I do not have 20 minutes to sit and complete all of these exercises but sometimes a minute or two of deep breathing and a guick prayer to God makes things seem a little more bearable.
Hang in there and keep your faith.
Blessings,
