1.Explain
each of Dacher’s three levels of the subtle mind (witnessing, calm-abiding,
untiyconsciousness) (p.72). How can you utilize these concepts in your
personal life?
Witnessing is the ability to step back and to remove
the clutter of the mind and get to the root of the clutter and then remove it
from our mind. This allows us to focus
on thoughts that are productive and pleasant.
Calm-abiding is the ability to STOP. To just be in
the moment of peace and calm. To remove
all thoughts of outer interference and focus on being still.
The components of wellness are critical in that they
are not of western medicine, but come from an inner peace and healing that
allows our bodies to follow. A healthy
mind leads to a healthy body.
By living a loving, caring, forgiving, and grateful
life, we encompass peace, serenity and live a life that is free of stress and
lets our bodies be embraced by natural peace.
As a Christian, I have always been taught to live
with love, charity, forgiveness and thankfulness. By living in this manner, I have peace in my
live and the stresses of external strife are not present. I am taught that living this way is Godly and
those who view me and how I live my life can learn this peace.
