Loving Kindness - Subtle Mind Exercises

The Loving Kindness exercise allowed me to open my thoughts about my loved ones and even people I may be upset at and try to let it go. Although it isn't something I think about on  a daily basis, it allowed me to realize what I am holding on to and to love more. The Subtle Mind exercise I felt as if was more focused on not stressing on every day things and try to relax. For both the exercises I found it hard for me to relax and I am getting better about finding time to myself to relax if even just for a moment. I am extremely busy with very little to no time to relax. After a few minutes of each exercise I was able to relax and appreciate the experience. Being able to relax my body and mind during these exercises helped connect my physical and mental wellness. I felt as if the Loving Kindness exercise helped my physical, mental, and spiritual wellness.

  1. It's good to focus on relaxing instead of on the negative. I think that the loving kindness practice had a good "thought process" if you will, but the end was just overwhelming.
