I personally found peace of mind and relaxation doing The Subtle
Mind Practice as outlined on pages 75 – 76 in our text “Integral Health: The
Path to Human Flourishing. I also like doing any kind of visualization
meditations like The Meeting Asclepius meditation on pages 56-57 of our text. To
foster my mental health I have found that I need to quiet down and/or stop the
mental chatter I have going on in my mind. I found it helpful to concentrate on
my breath as a focal point as well as to be able to “witness” my own mind
chattering away. It was if I could walk away from a table where the committee
chattering in my brain sat and just them talk and talk while I went on to sit
quietly in peace in the shade under a tree on a hill (all this in my mind, of
course). That is what I like about visualization meditation as the peaceful
images I conjure up distract me from the chattering committee.
