The universal loving kindness meditation was harder than I thought it would be. I had a hard time memorizing the four lines so I could relax and repeat them in my head, but once I did, it got easier. I found I felt a little more connected and less worried about little things after I completed the meditation. I also found after about 6 solid minutes of the meditation, I actually felt a loving energy start to build up inside me for all those people.
After I completed the integral assessment I discovered that I am finally clear on the areas that I want to start focusing on first. This was a huge relief because earlier in the term when learning about integral health, I was feeling overwhelmed and didn't know where I needed to start. The area that I have chosen to start working on is biological. There are things in other areas I could work on, but I chose biological because fitness, nutrition, and self regulation are three of my weakest areas. I also picked it because I feel if I can develop those areas first, developing certain other areas will come much easier. Some activities I have chosen to focus on to develop the biological area are meditation, yoga, palates and tae-bo. I also have written down what foods I will give up and have started menu planning so I choose less impulsive eating choices.
