Unit 5 Creating Wellness

The subtle mind activity was wonderful.  Concentrating on my breath allowed me to release my stress from the day and gave me the opportunity to relax.  When comparing this activity to the loving kindness activity, I found it to be much easier to relax with the subtle mind.  I was able to release and quiet the mental activity through the focusing on my breath.  When you can bring calmness to the mind, it can bring physical wellness to your being.  Spiritual wellness is the basis of both the mind and body.  If the spirit is not healthy, which people use as their strength in troublesome times, then their mind and body become weakened which then in turn weakens the spirit further.  The spirit, body and mind are all interconnected and when one becomes weak it affects the other.
