Hello everyone!
We were asked to decide two practices we would find most beneficial for us. The number one practice for me would be the Subtle mind. I find myself quite capable of emptying my mind and focusing on my breathing. This practice releases my stress and often times causes me to fall into a peaceful sleep. The second practice I found beneficial was meditation. My form of meditation is in the shape of prayer. However, this practice is actually more important to me than the Subtle mind. I find my time in prayer crucial, uplifting, calming and releasing. Talking to my Heavenly Father brings me such a closeness, love, and freedom from the things that trouble me, that I find it necessary to be applied to my daily life. I believe that I can implement these practices daily to help bring peace, strength, release and health. I believe when time seems to be overwhelming, using the Subtle mind practice will help me to breathe and refocus. However, when times appear stressful or sorrowful, prayer could bring me strength or freedom.
I find that prayer is more beneficial to me as well, concerning my emotional and mental stability and strength. Without it I would be a mess, no doubt; especially throughout this last year. The subtle mind was the only mp3 exercise that I found somewhat connected to, although it lost me after a point. I am always glad to find others who take prayer as seriously as I do in their daily lives. It is the perfect meditation for me, so maybe that's why others aren't as effective in my daily life. Good blog!
ReplyDeleteHi Tabitha. I chose visualization and meditation as my two practices. Meditation thru prayer is so very important to me as I see it is for you as well. I enjoy talking to God on a daily basis and just basking in His presence while praying. Doing this gives me a sense of love, warmth and protection in addition to peace within my spirit. I agree with Crystal that prayer is so very important in our daily lives. It is nice to know that others feel the same way :).
ReplyDeleteI liked your post. Have a great week!
