I found all the exercises practiced during this course beneficial
as they were all new to me and gave me insight into an area of myself that
needs attention. If I must choose…I think the two practices I
can see incorporating on a regular basis are the Subtle Mind and the Taste of
Human Flourishing visualization exercises.
The Subtle Mind exercise helped me really understand the strength in
breathing. It’s incredible how easily
your breath sets the tone for your mind and body. I have referred to the breathing techniques
of this exercise since practicing it for the first time. I do find it helpful when I am distracted,
just in general, to return my focus back to my breath and settle my mind back
to where it needs to be. The Taste of
Human Flourishing brought up what Dacher referred to as “treasured memories”
and gave them a purpose as reminders of the health, happiness, and wholeness in
my life. I hadn’t thought of those
moments in a while and it was refreshing to bring them back to life. I actually felt more energized after the practice than I did upon starting it. I do look forward to referring to these practices more as I have some new challenges approaching.
