Loving Kindness: This experience provided some interesting insight, although I am not sure how it realates to the loving kindness exercise itself. I felt the message to be personal, whereas my last experience with this exercise felt universal. I saw an eyeball (which I have seen before in past meditations), I interpret it to mean "intuition" and I heard/saw/felt (?) "find happiness". I also saw violet colored clouds.
Integral Assessment: During this process I discovered that I am out of balance in two of the four lines of development right now, Psychospiritual and Interpersonal. What I heard/saw/felt was that I need to focus first on Psychospiritual development and it will influence the Interpersonal development.
I found the chapters for Unit 6 in the Integral Health text to be exactly what I needed to read. The information will be very helpful to me. I am ususally aware that I am "out of sync" but not always aware of why. The assessment provides a way for me to check in with myself and
not rationalize (which is what I normally do) why I am feeling off. I also understand why I need to focus on the psychospiritual first, as I have been reactive (note to self: respond rather than react) and fearful lately which I know directly affects my relationships with others.

It sounds like you have a pretty good understanding of yourself. Are you normally an intuitive person? That is interesting that the eyeball comes up. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Susan. This week has been a real eye opener. (no pun intended). It really made me stop and think that I'm not as "in sync" as I thought I was, and I do have a bit to work on. This week was very powerful for me because I did find a "problem" that I have supressed and acted like it wasn't for so long. It kind of hurt at first, but a least I have tools now to deal with it effectively now. I'm glad your becoming more intuned with yourself, and I hope it keeps getting better from here. Hopefully we can both find the "whys" and end up with total flourishing in the end. Nice job!
