Unit 6 - Integral Assessment and Loving-kindness Affirmation Exercise
Hello Everyone,
What I found from charting out and completing the integral assessment was that my development in each aspect has gone over the line into the "spirit" sphere. I wouldn't shade them in up to the top, that's for sure, but my awareness and personal development has at least crossed that edge. Even though I am not able to devote great quantities of time and energy to endeavors like social activism, I still do my part (I did the March Against Monsanto this year), and the part that I do is stems from a motivation that takes me over the "spirit" line. Regarding work, I am not in the paying workforce, but the work that I do for my family I am infusing with love, and finding joy in my tasks, making everything a spiritual endeavor. Even generativity can be done without having fully embarked on my career yet, as I teach my children healthy habits on the levels of mind/body/spirit, changing the future generations of my family for the better.
The emotional area in the psychospiritual quadrant and the overlap in the personal, family, and community within the interpersonal quadrant is where I see myself needing more work. Often times these areas are affected when the biological quadrant's self-regulation and nutrition is suffering. Getting enough sleep and eating right are important for my emotional health, as is consistent exercise, showing the relationship between all the lines and quadrants.
The loving-kindness affirmation exercise was easier for me to do than the other exercises we've been assigned. It brought more peace to me, and I felt more energized after having completed it. The wording is a great reminder of the oneness we should want to make our goal to achieve.
All the best,
Misti
