Hi all!
I have posted my final project in doc sharing for your viewing pleasure. I was never able to upload here for whatever reason.
I think this will be an on going struggle for me (not uploading to a blog but achieving integral health) but that is ok. I have the rest of my life to work on it, right?
Take care!

Subtle Mind Practice
OK, so I tried to do the exercise. I got comfy on my bed and put the CD in the computer. First it was fine but I do have a very hard time in doing these types of exercises. I'm all about breathing and sort of concentrating on that like after a yoga class but it is difficult for me to do it at home. I just have so much going on right now it's hard to concentrate.
Anyway, that being said, a few minutes into listening to the woman talk about breath and the ocean sounds in the background, the CD went all staticky! It was weird and it hurt my ears totally bringing me out of any meditation mood. :( I've never had a CD do that before.

On a scale from 1 - 10, I would rate my physical health a 4, my spiritual well being a 3 or 4, and my psychological well being a 3 as well. I don't look so great, do I? Well, I'm young and I'm just starting in on my wellness journey. I'm okay with these numbers. Maybe that means my psychological well being number is higher!
I would like to become more spiritual but I feel like I'd like to be more spiritual with nature. When asked what my religion is, I say Catholic but frankly that doesn't mean much to me. It is something that we did a little bit of when growing up but not much. I'd like to be more in tune with nature I think. It sounds more interesting to me. I also have been trying yoga and fitness classes that are more stretching, breathing, and relaxing. I'm enjoying the quietness of these classes when they give you time at the end to breath and relax. It's great!
I'm on my way with fitness as well. I'm trying more fitness classes at my gym. I'm working them into my work and personal life schedule. I've learned you have to make "appointments" to maintain the commitment.
My fitness goal is to attend 3 or more classes a week for the next 2 weeks. I'm trying to make it a habit!
My spiritual goal is to get completely through one of these meditation exercises. I feel kind of weird doing them. So I will try to complete one fully in the next week or so.
I did try the exercise posted and I didn't make it far. I find that I like listening to a woman's voice better than a man's, I'm not sure why. I guess I just expect a woman's voice for some reason. Anyway, I got to the part about the red coming out of my spine and into the floor...not to sure about that one!

Hi all! Welcome to Lor's Wicked Cool Blog! Lor is a nickname given to me by my coworkers and since I'm in Maine, I'm "wicked" cool! :)
Today I did a wicked cool thing - I joined a local gym and took my first BodyPump class. It was a full hour of weight lifting with the bar, lunges (a lot of lunges), and ab work. We worked every muscle group and I know this because I feel muscles where I didn't realize I had muscles!
I'm very excited to up my fitness level with these and other classes. I take a Zumba class once a week with a few friends and I'm really looking foward to dropping a few pounds and just feel healthier and stronger all around!
See ya around the blog!
