Universal Loving Kindness is a practice that I already do. It is like praying . It is exactly what I put in my prayers though not in the same words. I always pray for those who are in hospital, nursing homes, or in their own homes who are ill whether in body, spirit, or mind. I also prey for the health and strength and wholeness for everybody and myself, and to help somebody everyday to ease their suffering so that my living won't be in vain. Always thinking up ways to help somebody else, to be a blessing to someone else. I always feel good when I pray, this exercise is no differant than what I do already, it is just worded differant.
Integral Assessment is about focusing on self improvement and what you want to improve upon first, or what aspect of your life would you like to focus on to day. You close your eyes and rest into the stillness of your mind and body, just release all mental activity. When you are quiet, you ask yourself what aspect of your life is the most difficult. You can focus on the psychospiritual, biological, interpersonal, or wordly. Focus on what ever area that is most difficult for you, or that you have done the most suffering. I chose the biologial aspects for my focus. It is what is giving me the most difficulties and suffering. I focus on this, and think if I am ready for this, because some times we fail at things that we are not ready for or, it is simply not time for this to happen. Then I think about the next thing that I should focus on in order to get to one aspect I have to address another. I am clear and unbiased in my assessment. This will take lots of practice, and I think that if I try this at least once a week and journal my thoughts. As I gain more experience with this process it will be a great tool to use for integrl health and healing.
