Over the unit course practice sessions I enjoyed the
visualization and meditation practices because the guided meditation also known
as guided imagery or visualization allowed me to form positive mental images of
situations and places I found to be relaxing in order to clear numerous
thoughts that may cause me to stress out. I enjoyed using my senses such as
sight, smell, sound and textures. I also enjoyed mindfulness meditation which
is based on being mindful or having an increased awareness and acceptance of
living in the present moment which broaden my conscious awareness (“Meditation”,
2014). It allowed me to focus on what I was experiencing during meditation such
as the flow of breathe while observing my emotions and thoughts and letting thoughts
pass without judgment. These practices ultimately fostered mental fitness by
allowing me to experience positive thoughts which lead to positive outcomes
while strengthening and training my mind that gave me inner peace, awareness
and human flourishing. Mindfulness has many strengths such as inner peace,
tranquility, eliminates the onset of certain diseases, keeps the mind, body and
spirit in a balanced and positive state and individual’s can also achieve
psycho-spiritual flourishing (Dacher, 2006).
