I have already gained pearls of wisdom from the first few chapters of Integral Health: The Path to Human Flourishing by Elliot S. Dacher that have opened my eyes to what a waist of time these stressful feelings and negative emotions are. Dacher's telling of the story of the fisherman casting away diamonds because he did not have an awakened enough awareness of know there were diamonds in the bag (Dacher, 2006). Just as all was not lost to the fisherman who did not throw away the last diamond (Dacher, 2006), I hope this course is to me. I hope I am able to discover a "diamond" within myself and learn to acquire the skills to take control of my mind and subsequently learn to bridge my mind, my spirit and my body.
Again, welcome to my journey.

Hello Rufus!
ReplyDeleteHow truly refreshing to hear how you want this class to help. There are many classes I have taken with people saying "it is just a requirement" and not truly get anything out of it. Like anything, you only get out what you put in.
When I first started my degree, I had said there were certain things I wanted to do as far as work post military, but the more classes I take the more I can implement it into my own life. Even if I do not follow this path (job-wise), I know that I have the knowledge I need to make myself and those around me better because of it.
I am looking forward to learning from you and hearing about your successes (and not-so-successes!) here in your blog!
Warm Regards,
Jenn
