The loving kindness is the generosity that one feels from their heart. Being accepting of other people difference. It being respectful of other peoples beliefs. The subtle mind is the mind that takes a short break from whtat is actually going on. The subtle mind does not focus on every minut detail of a situation. For myself, I deal with a lot of medically needy patients. Every so often, I will encounter a patient that is diplaying anxiety through their behavior. I do not focus on the behavior. I focus on helping the patient feel comformtable in their environment for a better recovery period. Sometimes, I will stop and take the time to talk to the patient with a condition. I feel that spiritual well and mental and physical wellness are closely related. If a persons spiritual well being is being fostered a person mental and physical well being will be fullfilled. For example, I recently had surgery. I suffered from anxiety real bad. I prayed that with God's love and guidance I was going to be fine. I noticed during the anxiety periods I would sweat and shake, my blood pressure and heart rate would elevate. By getting in touch with my spiritual well being, I was able to reduce my heart rate, low my blood pressure and the sweating and shaking subsided. I learned to hang on to my faith and things seem to be a lot more easier to deal with. Because of the type of surgery that I had, exercising promoted the healing process and my physical well being. I was not able to exercise with a lot of intensity but it made a difference on my recovery process.
