Getting Started…..

I have consistently been listening to “The Path to Human Flourishing” and enjoy its directions. This exercise helped me reach deeper inward, than I have in a long while, and experience my thoughts, feelings, and connection with other people, both known and strangers.
The nicest part of this exercise is when you can “breathe in others pain and suffering” and exhale an abundance of kindness and love. I will continue to practice along with self-administered Reiki. There are benefits realized daily and I look forward to them being compounded as I move through this journey.

I highly recommend others to experience this technique or any other “mind exercise” which helps progress towards a deeper sense of peace, love for others and one-self and while increased awareness which is normally not felt. This mind-connection is within all of us and helps with the paradigm shift towards consciousness.

The concept of a “Mental workout” is more than the title represents. Some people think of improved memory (this does), as the reason for improved mind-fitness. I see a mental workout as involving memories imbedded in one’s soul. Some people cannot conceive thoughts so deep or far reachable, but it is worth trying. The mind-connection with the spirit,  needs to be exercised so to shape and expand the “elasticity” and “plasticity” of the physical brain, which results in a higher use of one’s innate intelligence and consciousness. All this can be accomplished as one’s psychospirituality develops.

Practicing mind-fitness multiple times throughout the day offers the best results. It never needs to be long drawn-out or burdensome, five to ten minutes will do, anywhere.

According to Dacher, research studies helped discover when “mental workouts” were used the mind best transferred itself where it needed. This mind-activity, helped reduce negatively implied (charged) emotions, which decreased feelings of frustration, anger, fear, worry, doubt, confusion, and hatred while increasing one’s ability to unconditionally offer feelings of love, patience, kindness, acceptance, and happiness (2006).
