Hi All!
Personally, enjoyed the subtle mind exercise compared to the loving kindness exercise. I find it easier for me to focus on breathing and disregard the random thoughts I have than to focus my feelings specifically on love and kindness. I believe I got as far as the calm-abiding state. During this time my mind was completely still, it almost felt as if I was in a spinning chair, even though I was just sitting on the couch. Mental, physical, and spiritual wellness are all connected together and are part of our everyday life. One activity I enjoy that incorporate my mental, physical, and spiritual health is hiking. Rather I'm walking through the bluffs or running through them, my mind drifts away from my previous negative thoughts an stressors of the day, focuses on the beauty of life and nature. I tend to feel happier and more whole when going on hikes as nature speaks to every sense of my wellness. My days are notably more positive and happier when I'm able to participate in activities like hiking.
