The concept of mental work is to intentionally contemplate on a specific way of being in order to expand that way of being in your whole life; mental, physical, and spiritual. The proven benefit of a mental workout according to Dacher, (2006) is expanded consciousness, the opening of your heart and mind, diminished self-centeredness, preparing your mind for further development, and the revelation of a deeper wisdom that knows the truth of your own life and existence. Ultimately mental workout is the practice and development of loving-kindness, and wisdom, according to Dacher, (2006) this is essential to being healed at the source, and propels human flourishing.
So very well put Joan.
ReplyDeleteI like the way Dacher thinks. If there is one thing he definitely does with his integral thinking it's inspire others to live and heal from within. I for one keep the faith on a daily basis and with that comes a positive attitude no matter what the circumstances.
