<b>Karma Yoga- Kate's Club</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />Each year, I like to raise money and awareness for a cause. This year my choice is one that is very close to my heart. Many years ago, my children's father passed away. Through the years of coping and growing from this tragedy my children and me joined Kate's Club. This is a grief organization for children who've lost a parent or a sibling. Kate's Club is a huge part of the reason that my family was able to move beyond simply survival and start thriving again. My kids have been able to find a language for their grief and build lasting friendships. Kate's Club offers various forms of therapy (music, animal, art) and well as great field trips and outings. The most transformative event for my family has been the yearly summer camp. If you would like to help simply visit my <a href="http://www.ilovemytemple.com/" target="_blank">website</a> or attend an upcoming Free Karma Yoga class. If you would like more information please visit <a href="http://www.katesclub.org/">www.katesclub.org</a>. You can also donate directly through their website. <br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I LOVE February! It's not only my birthday month (whoop, whoop!) but its also the first time after the Christmas holiday that people seem to think about love. As the resident love cheerleader, I get so into the happiness that people share with one another. Also, as I lead up to another birthday, I love taking the time to reflect on all the healthy love I've received and get my thankfulness on for another year of life! </span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Much gratitude and many thanks to all my amazing yogis. I am so grateful to have had another wonderful year working with wonderful and amazing people. I give thanks that I can be of service doing what I love to do. I get up each day and give thanks that people are coming to do yoga. I give thanks that yoga is finding those who may not have been open to it. I give thanks that yoga is offering those who come stress relief, pain relief and space in between the nagging thoughts weigh us down and sometimes kick us down. Therefore, what better way to spend Thanksgiving month than to introduce a Gratitude Yoga Practice. In addition, I will be offering a new yoga massage service. So join me and share your gratitude and thanksgiving!</span><br />

I love the warmer months and longer days of spring/summer but there is something about the magnificence of Fall. I love the creative show that the trees put on. The shorter days also give me the opportunity to get settled earlier so that I can explore my creativity at night. Less daylight gives me the opportunity to really reflect. I tune in quite a bit more and just take stock of what's going on with me. It's my time to take personal inventory and see what I have done personally and professionally and how I can improve for the future. I take a look at everything from my health to my parenting and explore how I can be the best version of me. How can I be more present? How can I express myself to the fullest? How can I be of service? What is serving me and what is not? Many of these questions are what led to the Fall offerings from Temple Yoga & Wellness Center. The goal is to help you move into this season healthy and well. </span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Artistic Wellness is a program I designed to help creative folks. I remember back when I was writing full-time how difficult it was for me to sit down and focus on my looming deadlines. And when I did finally sit down my mind was all over the place. When I would talk to other creative folks they would have a similar challenges. One consistent challenge for many of us is knowing there is something you really want to do but not having the time, support, belief or tools to offer that inner voice outward expression. Artistic Wellness is a 7-week program that will uses yoga, meditation and breathing techniques to help you focus on your creative gift or talent. Each week we will share with the group a portion of our project and we will practice the techniques (yoga, breathing & meditation) throughout the week. The change in this course is that I am offering it in-studio and online this time. The <b><u>in-studio session</u></b> is October 4th-November 15th from 3:30-5:00pm. The <b><u>online session</u></b> is October 5th-November 16th from 7-8:30pm. Registration is now open with early pricing available. Visit <a href="http://www.ilovemytemple.com/artistic-wellness.html">http://www.ilovemytemple.com/artistic-wellness.html</a> to reserve your spot. Save $20 if you sign up before October 1st. Note: To purchase select the Online Store, Services and Temple Programs. </span></div>

<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love yoga products and so do my clients. This love led me to the idea of upgrading the I Love My Temple Store. On this page you will find Temple Tees, Relaxation Jumpers and my favorite yoga products sponsored by Amazon.com. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">I love, love, love teaching online. Many of my clients are busy and can not always make it to class. This gave me the idea to start teaching Artistic Wellness online. However, I still want to build the intimacy of the in class setting so I decided to add a social media aspect to the class where we can support one another throughout the class and beyond. The purpose of Artistic Wellness is to help you find your creative path. In this course you will learn how to harness your creativity and gain strides toward your creative expression. We will use yoga, meditation and breathing to help you improve your creative expression. Look out for announcements for the upcoming workshop through the month of September. If you have questions please feel free to email me at <a href="mailto:ilovemytemple@gmail.com">ilovemytemple@gmail.com</a>. Namaste. </span> </span></div>

The days are longer and that means more activity and fun in the sun. This month is filled with great outdoor activities, teacher appreciation week, Mother's Day, graduations and the end of the school year for primary, secondary school and higher education. Therefore, it makes it challenging to find time to stay on top of your health and fitness goals. This is something I truly understand so I made some adjustments to the schedule to allow for a little deep breathing in the busy month on May. </span><br />

This is one of my favorite times of year. The longer days allow me to do two of my favorite things: garden and help my clients reach their health and wellness goals. Something about the hint of summer makes people more open to reach their goals. So, of course I am here to help. My goal is always to use my knowledge and my passion for service for those who want to live healthier lives and thrive. </span><br />

<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Yoga for Weight Loss</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yoga for Weight Loss is a great program to kickstart your weight loss goals. This program is near and dear to me because often times weight control is a reflection of all the things that we experience in our lives. So many times we are working on every other part of our lives and we put ourselves last. The thought is that we can always come back to our own health whenever we want ignoring our needs to really nurture ourselves. Yoga for Weight Loss is designed to put your health needs front and center so that you can be your best self in your life. You will learn how to eat and move to stimulate your weight loss goal. Payment plans are available because I never want finances to be a barrier to reaching your health goals. Join me for Yoga for Weight Loss and learn how to reveal your best self. </span><br />

<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Wellness Coaching</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One thing about having a yoga and wellness business is that things always happen organically. I know there are lots of people out there doing wellness and life coaching and I am happy to see this become such a thriving business. It speaks to the fact that many are seeking ways to be more grounded in their life's purpose or their life's work. For me, that is what wellness coaching is all about. It's about helping people get into the the flow of their life. I enjoy taking the tools I have learned and sharing them with those who seek to live a more balanced way of life. Think of it as yoga but on and off the mat. If this sounds good to you see the wellness coaching section of <a href="http://www.ilovemytemple.com/">www.ilovemytemple.com</a> to sign up. </span><br />

<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I believe that everyone has a creative gift or talent that we are here to uniquely express. Artistic Wellness came about because I am surrounded by these wonderfully gifted creative people who were wanting to express their talents and gifts. The challenge for many creative people is bringing their creative projects to fruition. The workshop is designed to assist you with getting your creative process together. Join me and I will share with you ways to bring your creative gifts to light through yoga, breathing and meditation. If you are interested in participating in this 6-week workshop please leave your information at <a href="http://www.ilovemytemple.com/">www.ilovemytemple.com</a> subject -Artistic Wellness. Note: In June, we will have a 1-Day Painting and Yoga workshop. More information coming soon! </span><br />

<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Temple Tees are a hot item. Those who purchase them love to share their temple and yoga love. "I Love My Temple" has become a mantra for me but also its something I love to share because self love and mind, body, spirit empowerment is the standard for my business. Temple Tees are all about wearing those mantras and reminding yourself of the power of love and the power of YOU. For me, the ability to share love means sharing it first with yourself. Visit <a href="http://www.ilovemytemple.com/">www.ilovemytemple.com</a> to get yours and share your #templelove</span><br />

<br />
One of the reasons, I love health and wellness it is because there is always some form of ancient wisdom that holds true for centuries. One such remedy is meditation. Some how ancient sages knew that stillness was the key to optimal health. Maybe they came to this understanding because they didn't have the same distractions that we have today. I couldn't imagine the healer of an ancient village worrying about his social media updates, passwords, pin numbers, bluetooth & wireless connections, global warming, GMOs, car maintenance, taxes, job stress, kids educations and activities and the list goes on. However, I do imagine that the stress of an ever changing world such as growing civilizations, foreign invasions, predators, outbreaks, extreme weather patterns, financial burdens and the like are just as impactful. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One of my favorite shows to watch is Super Soul Sunday on OWN. There was a repeat recently of Russell Simmons' interview. He was of course highlighting the power of yoga and meditation. He expanded on how meditation makes us more present, more focused and more productive beings. He talked about how we can overcome the minds constant chatter by simply being still and allowing the mind to be free of the looping tape called mind stuff. <br />
<br />
So why is the ancient practice meditation becoming such a hot topic of the day? The science is out on meditation and all of its benefits. The research is showing that meditation is a great practice for hypertension, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, anxiety, depression, insomnia and the list continues to grow. For more info see <a href="https://nccih.nih.gov/health/meditation/overview.htm">https://nccih.nih.gov/health/meditation/overview.htm</a>. What is now being understood about meditation is that it can not only help those with the above health challenges but it can also be a great tool for prevention of health challenges. <br />
<br />
There are many different forms of meditation and it is important to find the style that works for you. Meditation practices can focus on gazing, visualization, mantras, the breath or even walking. So it is not difficult to find meditations that fit your personal style. <br />
<br />
So how can we get started on our meditative practice? There are many resources available to help you get started. Search online for meditation classes in your area. You can also find meditations on Youtube or order audio CDs to help you build your practice. If you are in the Atlanta area try <a href="http://yogahive.org/">http://yogahive.org</a> for a free meditation class every Friday at 6:30pm. However, keep in mind that it is important to show up for your practice as often as you can. I personally am offering a free meditation online for the month of March to help those who are interested get moving towards their meditation practice. Just join my Google Hangout Tuesdays 8:30pm EST. Hope you make it! <br />
<br />
Namaste. <br />

<br />
It's the first of the year and everyone is focused on health and fitness goals. What I realize after many years in the yoga and wellness industry is that many of us will push ourselves way beyond our comfort zone and forget the importance of living a balanced healthy life. We buy into the fact that there is something wrong with us that needs to be fixed and we have to be punished for being broken. Many businesses like mine gear up for the first of the year as well. It's not however, to simply capitalize on the resolutions people make year after year. It is to help undo the pressure we place on ourselves to be something other than who we are. Do I think it is great that so many people want to be healthier and more fit? Absolutely! However, do I think you have to sacrifice your current health and punish yourself to do so? Absolutely not!<br />
<br />
One of the main reasons I think yoga is so popular is because of mindfulness. We start and end with breathing, meditation and intentions. The goal is always to plant the seeds and to see how they grow throughout your practice. You are the observer who is checking in to see what is REALLY happening with you. You are NOT gripping and clinging to whatever attachments you walk around with in daily life and you are NOT hanging onto the laundry list of things that roll around in your mind everyday. In yoga you are just being! <br />
<br />
Benefits of Chair Yoga<br />
One of the main reasons I chose to teach chair yoga is because there are no real limitations. You don't have to change clothes, you don't have to have a yoga mat and you don't have to get on the floor if you have problems getting up and down. However, you do get to experience the yoga postures in a supported form. You can stretch, tone and strengthen right where you are. You can focus on the breathing because often times our breathe reflects our state of mind. You can focus on what your body is feeling while you are in the postures. You can focus on your intention to BE whatever you choose. You can slow down the process of thinking and attaching to every thought that comes into your mind. You can simple choose to watch what unfolds while you are BEing. <br />
<br />
Another reason I chose to offer a lunchtime Chair Yoga class is because of my intimate knowledge of the work environment. I have worked in an environment where it was necessary to recalibrate in the middle of the day. I know what it is like to need some breathing space between deadlines, co-workers and supervisors. Sometimes, my own mid-day yoga and wellness practices made the difference in my ability to stay employed, support my staff, and meet my requirements in a positive and balanced way. <br />
<br />
What you should know when taking yoga? <br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Please let the instructor know if you have any injuries or limitation that will restrict your movement.</li>
<li>Yoga is typically a non-verbal practice so reserve your comments and questions for the beginning or end of class. </li>
<li>You want to be comfortable so remove your shoes and any restrictive clothing. In chair yoga, you will be seated for most of the class but there is some standing and stretching. </li>
<li>Listen to your body. You are your first teacher. Yoga postures should not hurt you or restrict your breathing. If you feel like you are in pain back off the pose and stay with your breathing. Join in on the next posture or stay with the modified version of the pose until you are ready to move forward. </li>
<li>Your breathe is your guide. You want to listen to your breathing and try not to hold your breath. You should always worked towards balanced breathing in and out through the nose. If you are experience congestion then it is fine to breath in and out through the mouth until the congestion clears. </li>
<li>Be patient. Yoga is not about forcing yourself into looking like your instructor. It is about your expression of the pose. </li>
</ul>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
I would rate my
physical wellbeing at an 8 of 10, with 10 being ideal. The reason I choose an 8 is because I am just
getting back on track with my physical fitness goals. I found the first of the year quite a
challenge because I was dealing with an increase in clientele in my yoga
classes, my children’s schedules as well as a demanding workload in school and
work. In my yoga practice, I set a
monthly goal to work on a pose until I am able to really feel balanced in that
pose. I also run a few times a week and
am working on my next 10k. To prepare, I
am running 3 times a week and will increase my miles and frequency as I get
closer to the race. Since, I am only
taking one class this term, I am back on track with my fitness goals. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
I would rate my
spiritual wellbeing at an 8 as well.
During the first quarter of the year, when it seemed my schedule was
bursting at the seams, my meditative practice is what helped me through. I would take few minutes to breath and align
myself before I proceeded with my daily demands. I would like to improve my meditative practice,
however, by increasing the amount of time I can sit in silence. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
I like to think that
my psychological well-being is quite good.
I am not ready yet to say it is a 10 but I will give myself a 9. The reason, I choose 9 is because there are
not a lot of situations that take me out of my optimistic and positive
view. Typically, if my mental state is
low its because I am tired. I try to
approach everything even obstacles with positivity. I believe you get what you give so I want to
make sure that I am always giving the goodness that I would like to see. I think the reason I have a healthy mental
state is because I do the work to maintain it.
I try to stay physically well and spiritual well so that translates to
my mental health as well. I surround
myself with good people and have a great connection with my children and my
family. I also keep a journal, which
helps me pour out anything that hinders my mental flow. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
Well, on week three I
thought I was going to get back on track with my physical wellbeing. However, I know that life happens. I did start back running but so far am only
halfway to my goal. I am still only
getting to run 3 days per week. As for
yoga, I have managed to get work on two new poses, one per month as
planned. However, I did make sure that I
have increased my practice of each pose and have almost perfected one of the
two I was working on. And since I did
meet my yoga goal and am still trying to carve out more time for my running
goal, I would still rate myself at an 8.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
However, when it came
to my spiritual goal, I will increase my score to a 9. The reason I upped my spiritual wellness is
because of my consistent practice and reading of the Dacher text. I have so many corner pages folded down in the
book and I consistently practice the meditations in the morning and at night. I think this book and this course have both
come into my life at the right time because this has been such a challenging
time for me. I am thankful that making
more time to sit in silence has kept me still in the midst of the storm. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast">
My psychological
wellbeing has been tested as well. I
think it is because I almost gave myself a 10.
I am still a 9. Life decided to
send some things my way to see if I could hold onto my sanity. I am happy to say I did but I feel it is
mainly do to my spiritual practices that I was able to work through all that
has happened. I will admit I did feel
really emotional quite a few days. But
when it seemed I couldn’t carry on I relied mostly on the loving-kindness
practice. <o:p></o:p></div>

III. My psychological wellness was centered
on maintaining a positive outlook throughout the day in my work
environment. Since setting this goal all
hell has broken loose at work. I have
come home a quite a few days feeling overwhelmed but each day I rise with
Dacher’s meditation exercise and yoga. I
go to work with the faith that I will be of service and I will not stop doing
what I am here to do because there are some who crave drama. I have been in positive work environments
before and I know there is not anything that will not stop me from experiencing
that again. </div>

I have thoroughly enjoyed this course. It let me know that I am doing quite well in
taking care of my own health and wellness.
It also let me know that it is important for me to have consistent
practice with my own wellness techniques in order to share wellness with my
clients. We have to be consistent with
our practice in order to affect the health and wellness of the people we serve. I have started back looking at my weekly,
monthly and yearly wellness goals to make sure that I stay on track. I want to continue to embody the brand of
wellness that I teach. My reward has
come from the amount of time I can now spend without my mind running all over
the place. The improvement in my
meditative practice has been so needed at this time and I have set my goals to
ensure that I continue. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I haven’t had a lot of difficulty with this course other
than when we began with the loving-kindness practice. Initially, I found it difficult to send
loving-kindness to those who do bad things but after continue practice the idea
really grew on me and now it flows from an authentic place. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I feel more excited about how I serve my clients and
extremely excited about moving more into integrative medicine program design
and implementation now. I have tools
that I know work outside of yoga and feel more knowledgeable about how I want
to offer more comprehensive wellness programming. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
Why is it important for health and wellness professionals to develop
psychologically, spiritually and physically? What areas do you need to
develop to achieve the goals you have for yourself?<o:p></o:p></li>
</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
I have always been different. People have commented on it all my life. I always wanted to be me authentic and unapologetic
about whether or not it rubs people the wrong way. I didn’t want to ever live a life where I
couldn’t actualize my dreams and purpose.
Now, growing up in the South, I’m from Atlanta, GA, that can be a quite
challenging. Here people want to you to
be someone that carries their same values.
They don’t look too kindly upon those who step outside of the scope of
what they believe life is about. I’ve
been fortunate to have a very supportive family and lifelong friends who just
accept me for who I am. As a wellness
professional I feel that in the end everyone simple wants acceptance. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
My psychological development has been a
reflection of my own will. I don’t
believe there was anything with wrong with me being my own person. There have been times in my younger life when
I tried to “fit in” but each time it only made me feel unhappy. I knew that I didn’t want to spend my life
people pleasing just so they could feel more comfortable about their
choices. My parents say that I was a
strong willed child and I think that has followed me throughout my life even
through various life struggles. I know
that as a wellness professional many people come to me with this same struggle
and feeling as if people perception of them is most important. If I had not been through something similar I
couldn’t say to my clients, “You are just fine the way you are.” So often society make people feel they need
to change the way they feel about themselves.
I take comfort in the fact that we are all here for a purpose and I feel
it is our job as wellness pros to help people understand that they
psychological wellness grows through self actualization. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
My physical health has always been
important to me. I have always been
active. In high school, I ran track and
was a cheerleader. After college, I
became a fitness instructor and then a yoga instructor. I love running, gardening, hiking and of
course practicing yoga. I teach various
styles of yoga and have gained quite a bit of physical well being from my
practice. I feel that it is important to get out of your
head and into the body. I think being
active myself allows me to share with my clients the benefits of maintaining
good physical health. I have seen so
many clients with weight issues who really don’t concern themselves with
anything below their neckline. They are
unhappy with what they see so they began to ignore their body all
together. Though, I am quite physically
active, I also find it important to focus on ways to restore that body to a
balanced state. I frequently visit a
massage therapist for deep tissue massage.
I also utilize a reflexologist and acupuncturist when I feel out of
balance in certain areas. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
Spiritual wellness is of great
importance as well. For me, I am always
mindful of how I reflect my spirituality in my daily life. I understand for some it is religious
practice and though I was raised in religion, I consider myself to be quite
spiritual. My spiritual practice is
grounded in meditation. I practice
meditation most days. I love practicing
meditation on the breath as well as walking meditation. Since taking this class, I have worked on
other types of meditation, which I have also enjoyed. I feel that our spiritual development as
health and wellness professionals helps us to be accepting of all clients
regardless of their walk of life. It
allows us to see them from a non-judgmental stance and get out of the way of
our client needs to see how we can be most helpful to them. <o:p></o:p></div>

<li class="MsoNormal">Assessment:
<br />
How have you assessed your health in each domain? How do you score your
wellness spiritually, physically, and psychologically?<o:p></o:p></li>
</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<u>Week 3 Assessment<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
I would rate my physical wellbeing at
an 8 of 10, with 10 being ideal. The
reason I choose an 8 is because I am just getting back on track with my
physical fitness goals. I found the
first of the year quite a challenge because I was dealing with an increase in
clientele in my yoga classes, my children’s schedules as well as a demanding
workload in school and work. In my yoga
practice, I set a monthly goal to work on a pose until I am able to really feel
balanced in that pose. I also run a few
times a week and am working on my next 10k.
To prepare, I am running 3 times a week and will increase my miles and
frequency as I get closer to the race.
Since, I am only taking one class this term, I am back on track with my
fitness goals. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
I would rate my spiritual wellbeing at
an 8 as well. During the first quarter
of the year, when it seemed my schedule was bursting at the seams, my
meditative practice is what helped me through.
I would take few minutes to breath and align myself before I proceeded
with my daily demands. I would like to improve
my meditative practice, however, by increasing the amount of time I can sit in
silence. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
I like to think that my psychological well-being
is quite good. I am not ready yet to say
it is a 10 but I will give myself a 9.
The reason, I choose 9 is because there are not a lot of situations that
take me out of my optimistic and positive view.
Typically, if my mental state is low its because I am tired. I try to approach everything even obstacles
with positivity. I believe you get what
you give so I want to make sure that I am always giving the goodness that I
would like to see. I think the reason I
have a healthy mental state is because I do the work to maintain it. I try to stay physically well and spiritual
well so that translates to my mental health as well. I surround myself with good people and have a
great connection with my children and my family. I also keep a journal, which helps me pour
out anything that hinders my mental flow.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<u>Week 9 Assessment<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
Well, on week three I thought I was
going to get back on track with my physical wellbeing. However, I know that life happens. I did start back running but so far am only
halfway to my goal. I am still only
getting to run 3 days per week. As for
yoga, I have managed to get work on two new poses, one per month as
planned. However, I did make sure that I
have increased my practice of each pose and have almost perfected one of the
two I was working on. And since I did
meet my yoga goal and am still trying to carve out more time for my running
goal, I would still rate myself at an 8.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
However, when it came to my spiritual
goal, I will increase my score to a 9.
The reason I upped my spiritual wellness is because of my consistent
practice and reading of the Dacher text.
I have so many corner pages folded down in the book and I consistently
practice the meditations in the morning and at night. I think this book and this course have both
come into my life at the right time because this has been such a challenging
time for me. I am thankful that making
more time to sit in silence has kept me still in the midst of the storm. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
My psychological wellbeing has been
tested as well. I think it is because I
almost gave myself a 10. I am still a
9. Life decided to send some things my
way to see if I could hold onto my sanity.
I am happy to say I did but I feel it is mainly do to my spiritual
practices that I was able to work through all that has happened. I will admit I did feel really emotional
quite a few days. But when it seemed I
couldn’t carry on I relied mostly on the loving-kindness practice. <o:p></o:p></div>

A typical day for me will start around
5am. I set my alarm for 5:15 am to
practice my yoga before I get the kids up and get my day started. Before taking this class, I would start out
with a breathing meditation. However,
since we have done several different meditations in class, I have will begin my
day now with the subtle mind exercise. I
really enjoy this one quite a bit. Once
complete, I will then start my yoga practice.
I find it quite enjoyable and it allows me to go into my yoga practice
very centered. Typically, I would save
meditation until after I have done my yoga because my mind would wonder,
especially in the evenings. The subtle
mind practice however, works best in the inverse order in the mornings. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A few nights a week after dinner, I
practice the “rainbow meditation” with my children, at least that’s what they
call it. It is the “Crime of the
Century” exercise from week three. They
seem to prefer this exercise over all the meditations we have tried. I find that on the evenings we practice this
one they tend to be much more calm and civil towards one another, so I have
continued working with them on this one.
It is great to have peace at home when you can get it with two boys who
are about to be teenagers. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At night before bed, I practice either
Meeting Aesclepius or Loving Kindness. I
truly enjoy Meeting Aesclepius, but I was challenged by the Loving Kindness
practice and wanted to continue to work on it.
They both feel really good to me now and are a great way to end my
day. I have mention that in the past I
have struggled with insomnia, so meditation before bed has been a steady
practice for me for many years. I
realize that in hindsight, it was due to me not being able to disconnect my overactive
mind. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All in all, I plan to continue
practicing these forms of mental fitness because I understand that continue
practice really makes a difference. I really
like they way they each time seem to offer me a little more. I just want to continue my journey and see
how much more is revealed. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">Every since I was a
little girl, I have always had this knowing without knowing. I was and still am very connected to my
intuition. My baby sitter Mary used to
call me Lucille because she said that Tiffany was a little girls name, and I
needed the name of an old woman. My
family has always thought that was hilarious but it felt very natural to
me. She called me Lucille until I she
passed away in the late 90s. I was always
comfortable around older people and was open to what they could teach me, which
makes it no surprise that I work at a senior center. When I listened to the Meeting Aesclepius
mp3, my childhood and my connection to my grandmother came to my mind. I always felt a kindred connection with her
and even though she was deaf she had a way of communicating with me that was
really special. I always thought of how
she was such a knowing and special person despite what many would consider a
handicap. I imagine the strength it took
her to single handedly raise 9 children on the pennies she made working as a
laborer in fields in Alabama. I imagine
if she were still here how my life would be far beyond anything she could
imagine. I don’t think she could’ve
imagined me working as a writer, a filmmaker, a magazine editor, a yoga
instructor, a business owner, a program coordinator at a senior center. I remember once as a child I asked my
grandmother if she was happy. She
thought for a second and simply replied, “Baby, I’m satisfied”. I remember thinking at the time, I had to be
about 8 years old, that that was sad to me.
I know now that that was all she could probably hope for being a black
women in the south with very little education who had live through things that
I could never imagine. I always wanted
to be more than just satisfied with my life.
I wanted to be happy. I wanted
and still want to be fully excited by and engaged in my life. I didn’t want to just exist. And now in hindsight, I guess that is what
Mary saw, a little girl who was ready to take on life and be fully
present. And I have to say to this day
it hasn’t changed. I have always loved
learning, which is why I am first and foremost a student of life. I feel that my work abilities and my strength
comes from all those who came before me.
Their lessons are my lessons and their hopes and dreams are the work for
me to actualize in my life. I always
hope that I am honoring them in my choices to take risks and be me despite what
some my think. And honestly, I am truly
happy with who I have become and who I am becoming. I realize that this great responsibility is
mine because I never shy away from the challenge. I want to continue to live my purpose and
help those who would like to do the same.
I think that is what is meant by the saying, “One cannot lead another
where one has not gone himself”. I think
we all have a purpose here and when we are walking on that path we are happier,
healthier beings. I think what causes
people sickness and misery is being trapped in a life they didn’t imagine for
themselves. Walking in a life that is
simply an existence without connection.
People essentially want to come alive and be in a place where they are
proud of the work they do and the life they lead. I always imagine that if everyone could have
this way of life and support themselves and their families we would be happier
healthier people. However, I know that
my optimism can be a huge leap for those who think very practically about
money, bills, obligations and the like, therefore, I have to be the example I
want to see. I believe in being well,
therefore, I work on myself through my yoga practice physically, mentally and
spiritually almost everyday. I also
study yoga a ton. I am constantly
reading and researching for myself and for my kids and clients. I don’t teach a yoga pose that I haven’t felt
in my own body. I want to feel it for
myself before I guide my clients through practicing it. It also helps me find the words to lead them
to their discovery of how the pose can unfold in their lives whether on the mat
or in life. I hope that what I offer as
a wellness professional can somehow help those I encounter to lead happier
healthier lives. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

When I completed this exercise I felt
an increase level of connectedness. I
also felt a greater level of responsibility to my part in helping those I work
with reach their health and wellness goals.
However, what I didn’t feel this time was the helplessness of being only
one person who wants to make a difference.
Something about knowing that we are all in this course and working on
loving kindness meditation made me feel that we are collectively making a
difference. <o:p></o:p></div>

This week I chose to focus on the
relationship I have with my children. A
few weeks ago we were on spring break and we had such a great time. It reminded me how much I missed being
self-employed and able to work my schedule around their schedule. When I went back to work after spring break,
I felt divided. Now, having a full-time
job and still having my wellness business and being in school offers a
different set of challenges. The weekends
typically are when we get to spend the most time together. What I discovered through the exercise is
that I was carrying around a lot of guilt about the having less time to spend
with the kids. After doing this exercise
I decided to include them more in what I am learning. I have done the loving-kindness exercise with
them and also the subtle mind meditation.
I have noticed one thing that has changed is right away is that they
seem to be having fewer disagreements, which is truly a help to me. I plan to continue to work with them in these
areas so that they will have these tools much earlier in life than I did to
prepare for their place in there world. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Compare and contrast the Loving Kindness exercise and the
Subtle mind exercise. Explain your experience including the benefits,
frustrations etc. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I again love the subtle mind exercise. This is an exercise that I am more familiar
with and is in line with how I typically do my meditation. I love following my breath and what unfolds
each time I sit in meditation. It is for
me the one space where I am not checking off a to do list or am in constant
motion besides when I am in my yoga practice.
I loved watching what came up during my subtle mind experience. I had a really busy week at work so I was at
work when I first practiced. At first, I
was concerned that someone would come to my office but fortunately, I wasn’t
disturb, which is unusual. It took me a
minute to relax into the feeling, but once I did I had fewer thoughts coming to
the surface. I stayed on my focal point
for most of the exercise once I let go of the feeling of possibly being
interrupted. The rhythm of the breath
brought me into a quite peaceful state while I was in a place that is the
complete opposite of peace. When I
finished I felt quite refreshed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">As for the difference between the loving kindness and the
subtle mind, I found the subtle mind exercise much easier for me. I did practice loving kindness twice a day
all last week and it wasn’t until the end of the week when I was able to allow
the feelings of those who have harmed me to come into my heart and be release
without event. Each time I would get to
that part earlier in the week it made my chest contract and my breath
change. I wanted to continue to practice
loving kindness until I could fully embrace the teachings. It took a few days of twice a day practice
before I could really feel that shift and I was fully able to embrace that
concept. I came away feeling a bit more
balanced in that area. I know that I
still don’t have it down but I think awareness and continued practice will make
all the difference. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Discuss the connection of the spiritual wellness to mental

personal life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">All my life I have been physically active.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> I come from a long line of very
unhealthy people. I spent much of my
youth being sick. My family has it all
from diabetes, to hypertension, high cholesterol to various forms of
cancer. After spending much of my youth
being sick and missing school and going to various family member funerals, I
decided that I was going to improve my health.
I decided that I wasn’t going to spend my life taking medications and
waiting for something to change. I
became more committed to staying active having been a cheerleader and a track
runner in high school, I continue to workout throughout college and still to
this day. I found yoga 15 years ago and
practice almost daily as well as instruct yoga classes. I also became a vegetarian over 20 years ago
and I haven’t had the cold or flu in over 10 years. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> My commitment to my physical wellness was not
just about looking a certain way, it came from my desire to not spend my life
medicated. Through my physical wellness,
I grew mentally. Having maintained a
level of physical wellness throughout my life, I improved my mental
wellness. I feel however, that much of
my mental awareness came from yoga. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">I remember when I fell into my first yoga
class I was a complete mess working 14-hour days six days a week. I was a junk food vegetarian and a chronic
insomniac. Though I was physical well I
wasn’t listening to my body. And though
I desired not to be sick, I still didn’t make the connection between my
physical fitness and my nutritional intake.
I took for granted that because I was running, swimming and working out
that I was healthy. My first yoga class kicked my behind thoroughly. I was never so challenged by anything at the
time. I thought I was in shape and I
really started to look at my ideas of health after that class. I started listening to my body and had my
first good nights sleep in a long time.
After my second class, I started having broccoli cravings. My mind started to go from being on overdrive to calmness. My regular fitness routine became more
impactful. And it became less of a
routine that I just did but I felt more connected to the exercises. I think that is where my mental wellness
started to grow. After two years of
practice, I wanted to dig deeper. I
wanted to be able to sit in lotus pose and have this level of calm that I saw
with others in my class. I wanted to
know what meditation was all about. I
wanted peace and calm in my inner world.
I loved my work but it was consuming me being that I was a type A
workaholic type. I could no longer
justify the imbalance that was happening.
I decided that I was going to get certified in yoga so I could share all
the benefits that I received. I started
to learn meditation and again, I felt like I was at square one just like when I
began my yoga (asana) practice. I
couldn’t find 2 seconds of space in my thought process unless I was actually
doing the physical practice. However, just
like the physical yoga practice, I was challenged and needed more and that’s
how I was led to the spiritual connection.
I began to understand how the breath, postures, meditation and study all
contribute to this healing system that we call yoga. After many years of study and practice, I am
still learning and still finding the connections between the mind, body and
spirit. My goal is to keep practicing,
studying and being open to all that I can be in this life. I think that is what it means to be well. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
I enjoyed this loving-kindness
exercise. I love love and always say
that I am a love cheerleader. I started this
exercise with thoughts of my dad, knowing how he prays for us and gives to my
sisters and me anything he can so openly and supportively. I always pray that I can be that giving and
open throughout my life. I know that for
this he expects so little in return and I know that is what being a parent is
and it is because of him that I understand that. I have always been and extremely giving
person and it is because I learned that lesson from my father. After that I began to focus on myself and
allowing that love to radiate through me, so much so I felt quite overwhelmed
with love and support. It was
beautiful. As I begin to take that same
love and support and send it to those I feel that need it, I realize that I
have some many people whom I would like to help that it became really easy to
imagine where to send the love in my heart to.
The challenge with this exercise was taking into my heart the hurt of my
loved ones and sending it back out as love.
Though I believe in this practice, when it was instructed I felt the
flow shift when I was asked to do it. I
didn’t know if my heart could handle the challenges with some of my family
members and the pain and suffering of so many women and children in the
world. I just took a really deep breath
and continued to send this loving support out into the world. I will continue to the loving-kindness
exercise for the rest of the week and see what happens. I would recommend this exercise to others
especially those around me who get stuck in their “why do bad things always happen
to me” cycle of thinking. <o:p></o:p></div>
<ol start="2" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal">What
is the concept of "mental workout"? What does the research
indicate are the proven benefits of a mental workout? How can you
implement mental workouts to foster your psychological health?<o:p></o:p></li>
</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
The concept of the mental workout is
described by Dacher in two phases: one is the loving-kindness exercise and the
second is the subtle mind exercises. He
instructs us to work with the loving-kindness exercises in order to get beyond
our self-centered thinking and elevate
our psychospiritual self. He discusses
how loving-kindness attracts loving-kindness, which I think is what everyone
really wants to have in their lives. He
then talks about how we can focus next on the subtle mind, which reminds me of
a quote I see all the time when I read <i>Yoga
Sutra</i>s by Patanjali. It states, “Yogah-cittavrtti-nirodhah”
which means, “Yoga is the cessation of the mind’s fluctuations.” The goal is to eliminate the busyness of the
mind and attachment to all of the consistent flow of thoughts, feelings and
images to allow us to find a deeper level of consciousness. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
Research shows that the mental Olympians who have mastered
these techniques have a higher level of gamma wave activity in the brain. It also shows a mental fortitude that is not
subject to mind fluctuations or mental distress and the expansions of health
and healing capabilities. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt;">I think the best way to implement these mental
workouts is to practice first the loving-kindness exercises then once that
becomes easier move towards working on the subtle mind activities.</span><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt;">My goal is to try to practice these exercises
in the morning and evening.</span><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt;">Since I am a
high-energy person, I know that doing them after some physical exercises in the
evening will work best for me.</span><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>

<ol start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal">Based
on your reflections, and on a scale of 1 to 10 (ten being optimal
wellbeing), where do you rate your A-physical wellbeing, B-spiritual
well-being, C-psychological well-being? Why? <o:p></o:p></li>
</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
I would rate my physical wellbeing at
an 8. The reason I choose an 8 is
because I am just getting back on track with my physical fitness goals. I found the first of the year quite a
challenge because I was dealing with an increase in clientele in my yoga
classes, my children’s schedules as well as a demanding workload in school and
work. In my yoga practice, I set a
monthly goal to work on a pose until I am able to really feel balanced in that
pose. I also run a few times a week and
am working on my next 10k. To prepare, I
am running 3 times a week and will increase my miles and frequency as I get
closer to the race. Since, I am only
taking one class this term, I am back on track with my fitness goals. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
I would rate my spiritual wellbeing at
an 8 as well. During the first quarter
of the year, when it seemed my schedule was bursting at the seams, my
meditative practice is what helped me through.
I would take few minutes to breath and align myself before I proceeded
with my daily demands. I would like to
improve my meditative practice, however, by increasing the amount of time I can
sit in silence. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
I like to think that my psychological
well-being is quite good. I am not ready
yet to say it is a 10 but I will give myself a 9. The reason, I choose 9 is because there are
not a lot of situations that take me out of my optimistic and positive
view. Typically, if my mental state is
low its because I am tired. I try to
approach everything even obstacles with positivity. I believe you get what you give so I want to
make sure that I am always giving the goodness that I would like to see. I think the reason I have a healthy mental
state is because I do the work to maintain it.
I try to stay physically well and spiritual well so that translates to
my mental health as well. I surround
myself with good people and have a great connection with my children and my
family. I also keep a journal, which
helps me pour out anything that hinders my mental flow. <o:p></o:p></div>

My physical goal is to be able to run

would like to complete the race in 72 minutes this year. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
My spiritual goal is to more time for
my meditative practice. I currently
meditate 30 minutes per day. I would
like to meditate one hour daily. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
My psychological goal is to make sure
that I maintain my positive outlook at work.

keep a lot of negativity going. <o:p></o:p></div>

I truly enjoyed this exercise as
well. It reminds me of a chakra
meditation class I attended. And
though I have done chakra meditation and am familiar with the chakra system, I
never realized that the chakras were the same colors as the rainbow until I did
this exercise. My favorite part of this
exercise was the affirmations we were asked to think about when we transitioned
to the next color. I felt really
connected to the affirmations of each region we traveled to. After completing the exercise, I felt really
focused and connected for the rest of the day.
I felt more clear when I was reading our assignments and felt less
distracted and more open to the feeling of peace and calm. I was extremely productive that day and have
since listened two more times. I am
loving it! <o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
Thanks for visiting my Temple Blog. I initially started this blog to help my yoga clients become more familiar with yoga. I decided to use it for our class because it ties into what we are learning about health and wellness and the mind-body connection. I hope you get the opportunity to take a look at some of my past posting that share the benefits of yoga. I also look forward to sharing with you the experiences we gain in this course. <br />
<br />
<br />
Journey On Relaxation Experience<br />
<br />
I really enjoyed this exercise. I began sitting in a chair and was very aware of the sense of calm that was starting to sink in as the music and the speaker started talking. I was aware that my hands were quite cold as they usually are. When he instructed begin to move the blood to my arms, I felt first my shoulders and then my elbows and wrists. Finally, my fingers began to feel the flow or warmth to the tips. After the warmth started flowing through my arms, I started to feel a heaviness at my shoulders. I felt as if my arms were being weighted down, so when he mentioned the possibility of lifting them up, I knew it would be a challenge. When he instructed me to move the blood flow back to the core, I notice the sensations were slightly different. My arms started to tingled this time starting with my fingers. I didn't feel the same joint sensations that I felt with the in flow of blood. After taking a few deep breaths I was left with the calming sensations and the same heaviness in my arms. However, the tension in my shoulders was gone. I definitely felt more relaxed at the end of this exercise. <br />
<br />
I think these exercises that create deep awareness of the body are quite meaningful to our perspective as health and wellness professionals. We spend so much time going through life with schedules and commitments and sometimes forget to tune in to those things that can help us be more connected and centered. I say this from experience having a full-time job, a business, two wonderful boys and being a student. I know that my daily tune ups help me get through what seems to be a mountain of commitments on some days. It is, for me, my meditation and yoga practices that keep me grounded and centered in my daily life. <br />
