Subtle Mind/Love and Kindness

Hello fellow bloggers,
This week lesson started with another relaxation exercise.  I found this one a little easier has the focus was just about me and relating to my inner self.  In doing this last two exercises it has made me realize that  I have a long way to go to reach the ultimate level of integral health and truly connecting the mind to the body.  The love and kindness exercise was all about reaching the level of where you can take your worries and trouble and release them and then get to the stage of where you can take on love ones, friends and foes woes and release back into the world positive emotions and reject negative ones.  The subtle mind exercise focused on learning to focus on one thing starting with your breathing and bringing your mind to a point of stillness.  The goal is to let the distractions go and once you are settled in the
stillness then allow yourself the opportunity to experience everything but don't get attached to it.  This exercise is all about focusing on making a better you both physically and mentally whereas the love and kindness exercise sought about making you better but also the world around you.
I would have to say I enjoyed the subtle mind exercise more but I am wondering how this is going to work when I try to add it to my fitness regimen.

When you think about mental, physical and spiritual wellness I think that they are all connected.  I use physical wellness to aid in my mental health.  I know that it is important to be able to calm the mind as we still the mind our body relates to it.  We can control our breathing, blood pressure and pulse through our mental wellness.  To approach our work-outs with the thought of our physical and mental state will create a state of happiness and feeling complete or whole.  The goal is mind and body rather than body alone.
