Dear Professor and Classmates,
I am glad that we were able to review this exercise in our seminar. To me it could be catagorized as a great prayer, a great creed, and a great lesson. It really does make you feel good. I discovered that sometimes I am selfish only praying for the ones that I know. As far as the assessment process, Ichose the Biological aspect as the area that I need to grow and develop in. In this area is where I could relieve a lot of stress from my life, and have the most room for improvement. It is the answer for long term and short term needs. As far as activities, I need to move and exercise on a daily basis, continue to improve on watching what I eat, and I need to continue to learn how to heal from the inside out.

Unit 5 Blog Post
Dear Professor and Classmates,
1. In comparison to the Loving Kindness exercise, the subtle mind exercise is a much more successful exercise. In this exercise there is actually an action to concentrate on. When giving yourself a thought to ponder on (or subject) as in the first exercise the mind can still wander easily. I am much happier and have been more successful with the second exercise.
2. The connection between spiritual wellness, mental wellness, and physical wellness is necessary. You can't be whole without one of these. Each work hand in hand to create optimal health. Each one is a benefit to the other in ways of healing and cleansing. Each of these give us strength, wisdom, and the ability to heal ourselves and others.

Unit 4 Blog Exercises
Unit 4-Loving Kindness
1. My experience with the CD exercise was pretty much the same of the others. I just don't think that they work for me. I am better reading the word and praying for people that breathing them in and out. When I reflect, I like to have a clear mind and that makes it easier for me to clear away thoughts. I definitly recommend that everyone try it to see what works best for them.
2. The concept of a mental workout is a daily way to experience psychological flourishing.The key to success is to stick with the workout. This is the key to strenghthening consciousness and creating a caring heart. Peace and tranquility along with wisdom are proven results from this exercise. Long and short term mind altering transition expansion creates good health and wellbeing. This includes being able to change negative emotions to positive ones, and by enhancing mental functions (Dacher, 2006). I would implement these exercises to clear my mind for better communication and concentration skills.

Hello Everyone,
1. Total Optimal Well Being Ratings
a)Physical Well Being- 1
b)Spiritual Well Being-8
c)Psychological Well Being- 9
2. My Goals
a) My physical goals are to begin to exercise.
b) My spiritual goals are to spend the amount of time that I should reflecting.
c) My psychological goals are to create a mind-body connection that fits me.
3. Activities that I can implement to reach my goals.
a) In the area of physical well being, I can add a slightly intense program of strength exercises along with a lot of walking and stretching.
b) For exercises to promote optimal spiritual well being, I can take the time to reflect and worship more often and read the things that help me spiritually.
c) For the exercises that i can implement in my quest for optimal psychological health, i can begin to use and understand relaxation techniques.
4. I am not getting into these relaxation techniques at all. They need a little Pink Floyd in the background. I can see where light therapy can be useful, but this guy is not cutting it for me.
I will post daily after today.

As for the exercise on the blog section of our course page, I am going to have to try this when no one is around (ha, ha). I am going to have to make time for this exercise. My son is running in and out, and it sounds to me like the guy is tripping. I don't want to be ignorant to these techniques and I need to research more about these topics.
P.S. Trivia of the day. The t.v. series House. Where is the hospital located?
