Phenomenon Woman
As our awareness expands, so does our reach. Our empathic listening, seeing and caring for the other open heartedness can spread to all our relationships, to see, acknowledge, hear another and be present with them even an enemy. The development of universal loving-kindness is the final leap in our interpersonal development.
My personal reflection and daily practice has given rise to a profound and enduring health, happiness, and wholeness. Each day I can ask myself have I hurt anyone today and if I so did I promptly ask for forgiveness? In this way, integral assessment helps me get from one level of development to another, progressively moving toward my precious goal of human flourishing.
This exercise and assessment process was easy for me showing kindness to my fellow man-this begins the final process of integral assessment this begins the process of human loving kindness to everyone, this idea is simple but profound. What I discovered about myself is I always have to peak experience in any one line of development, that could be a moment of unity consciousness attained through nature, but these are temporary states. I am not in control of this glimpse, the circumstance is. The area I have chosen to focus of growth and development is fitness because staying health and fit can be very challenging when we live in a "fast food" and fast-paced society. There are times when eating right tends to go to the back burner due to lack of time, stress, overworked, or even boredom. Some specific exercises I can implement to foster greater wellness in this area would be to be wise choices in eating, find time to exercise, awareness, and meditate.
Linda... You are just a beautiful woman inside and out! ...yes really! I just love love love that blue velvet dress you wore in your pictures. I think my husband would love me in something like that! :)
ReplyDeleteRegarding your experience with this weeks exercise, how wonderful that you can ask yourself everyday "have I hurt anyone?" and then ask for forgiveness. I am going to use that one beginning today. I am struggling with my fifteen year old son and we both say things we do not mean. I think the practice of asking for forgiveness and then forgiving him for his shortcomings is a great way for me to begin healing.
I Linda I also love your dress and your smile. I like how you talk about asking yourself have I hurt anyone today which sometimes in the fast times we live in we must be conscience of to reach our interpersonal goals.
