Unit 8...what I like the best
I would have to say the two things I like the best is the loving-kindness exercise and the visualizing happiness. I think this class has opened up for me that these are my greatest needs, desires. I want to be happy and feel loved. If I had to think about it I honestly can't remember the last time I was truly happy. Yes I have laughed a bit and had happy moments, but inside I was not. I know my husband loves me with all his heart, but he has been so stressed lately with work and his mom that I have not felt his love only his pain. I think that we didn't talk about this enough but there is an energy that flows from one person to another. Negative and positive. It is hard to see someone you love unintentionally give off negativity. I think that is what brought me to get a degree in nutrition, to take care of those I love. I want to be a better person, therefore I think it would be in my best interest, as well as those around me, to practice loving-kindness and visualize happiness. I will make me feel more complete and if I feel whole then it will flow from me to others. That positive energy will be seen by those around me. If I can't make a better world I can at least change the world around me to be better through my attitude and positive contributions.

Hi Debbie~
ReplyDeleteI also got the most out of the loving-kindness exercise. I know what it is like to have a bunch of negativity around me. It is hard to rise above the negativity and share loving-kindness with those around me. I'm sorry that you are going through such a rough patch. Maybe the positive energy that you bring from the loving-kindness exercises will flow to the rest of your family. I wish you the best of luck with your studies and with your sharing of loving kindness.

Hi Debbie, I can identify with how you feel watching your husband go through this pain, I have experienced this with my husband as he was in the Vietnam war and has PTSD, he is better now, but still has his moments. We pray a lot and that in itself is a blessing. I will be praying for you and your husband. Things are going to be positive for you again. God Bless! Kandi
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie,
ReplyDeleteYou have truly opened your feelings and become transparent and I do appreciate anyone who can be honest with their feelings. I can identify with you on so many levels however; I can really appreciate how prayer can move and change things. Since beginning this course I feel I have grown and mature into the woman that can handle the stress thrown at me and still keep smiling knowing there is and will be a positive outcome.
Thank you so much for your honesty, keep praying, keep meditating because all prayers and wishes do get answered and come true :) I'm a witness!
Debbie,
ReplyDeleteThis has been a great class! It has been an eye opener to exploring different aspect of healing and how it effects your health. Clearing out the clutter of our minds is an important step of healing, getting the needed rest afterwards is needed. I for one have rested better this past 8 weeks than I have in a long time..
Hi Debbie,
ReplyDeleteAs a husband or wife, we sometimes witness our spouse go through stressful or painful things and some feel hopeless. But we can practice loving kindness that emit positive energy that will permeate our enviroment. I was in your husbands shoes when I was out of work and my wife positivity helped me many times look at my situation with a renewed perspective. Be the positive one, your husband needs that energy.
