This week I am continuing my journey
to integral, at least learning some steps on how if nothing else, I find that I
need more mental training. As we move on I find that universal loving kindness
mediation exercise is a challenging awareness of how you truly feel about a
larger spectrum of humanity. I was asked to expand my love connection from me,
to my family which was ok but I could feel some of the safety wall come up but
when I was asked to expand to all races, religions, and cultures I mentally
gave up it was so overwhelming at this point.
The second exercises are the
integral assessment which shifts the focus from healing to reflection or
assessment. I was able to focus on myself and assess the different way that I
can handle situations, attitudes, or/and experiences that I have had. This
activity was a chance for me to be aware of the situation that happen around me
daily that I am so busy not to notice. I think this shows me that I need to
slow down and take more time focusing and less time being in a big hurry.

Hi Corban,
ReplyDeleteI also found it very easy to expand my love connection to those close to me, but was challenged when attempting to expand it to someone that I have been in conflict. I noticed that self felt vindicated in holding onto my point of view as being right, but I realized that releasing my ill feelings became a choice. Not taking into account if they are right or wrong. It really felt like a release after practicing this exercise over several days.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I understand some of these exercises are pretty overwhelming and takes a lot of time and mental capability to perform these exercises. I also liked the integral assessment better because it was easier to understand the steps to go through to see what aspects of my life are good and what I need to work on. What aspects do you think you should work on?
