I had actually learned the Subtle Mind technique through another class several months ago, but it was called Mindful Meditation. I definitely prefer this kind of meditation over the Loving Kindness that we had to try last week. It is much easier for me to focus my energies and try to clear my mind as much as possible. Although I still haven't reached that perfect spot where the mind is totally still. I can definitely get it down to a babbling brook at least from the mountain water fall.
As for the spiritual aspect of mind-body connections I'm not really sure how that could manifest itself in my life right now. While I definitely know there is a mind-body connection, I'm not so sure about necessarily needing the "global connectedness" for myself at this point. And to be quite honest, it's definitely not high up there on my to do list to ponder about it right now as I have way too much on my plate as it is.
Jess,
ReplyDeleteI am right there with you, be the babbling brook :) I put the Subtle Mind exercise on my Ipod and stretched to it after my run. AMAZING! I found myself so relaxed especially after that hard run. I was completely content and satisfied! So Good!!
