The two practices that is most beneficial to me was Loving-Kindness and Meditation. Loving-Kindness enhances concern for the welfare of others. Wishing health, happiness, and wholeness to all individuals (Dacher, 2006). It opens our hearts for concerns ,compassion, and diminishes self-centeredness. Also, a subtle mind opens our minds and reveal wisdom that knows the truth for our lives and existence. These are essential elements that heal at the source and drive human flourishing (Dacher, 2006). I can implement this in my profession, which is Health and Wellness, by wishing health, happiness, and wholeness to all my patients as I treat them. This practice will also allow me to have genuine concern toward my patient's health.
Meditation is a type of mind-body complementary medicine. It produces a state of peace, stillness, and relaxation. Meditation reduces stress and the conditions that it carries, such as, pain, anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders. I can implement this practice into my profession which will help me keep stress at bay and stay in a peaceful state of mind. This peaceful state of mind will allow me to stay focus and better diagnose patients.
Hey Juanita
ReplyDeleteI see that there are a few of us that really enjoyed the loving kindness exercise. That exercise just let you open up your heart to care about others around you and not just yourself. When we first did the exercise I was having arguments with my boyfriend and I was to get over all that was going on and causing the arguments. The exercise just really had me at ease and I was able to have a peaceful night.
