(5)Subtle Mind vs. Loving Kindness
I especially enjoyed the Subtle Mind exercise. In contrast
to the Loving Kindness exercise, the Subtle Mind exercise was easier to
execute. It may have had something to so with the fact that I had just
previously completed the Loving Kindness exercise, and was already in the right
frame of mind to it. At any rate, the Subtle Mind exercise allowed me to train
my mind to allow outside noises to continue but not distract me from my focus.
I absolutely loved this exercise. I never really thought that I could
successfully do such a thing. I like the fact that I could practice this exercise
everyday and pretty much anywhere. The Loving Kindness exercise will not be
easy for me to do anywhere other than at home. I need much longer time to do it
and I need much more concentration.
All in all, I like both exercises; I just think the Subtle
Mind exercise did a much better job at clearing my mind and bringing me to
relaxation and focus.

Hi Melisa,
ReplyDeleteI liked this exercise quite a bit visualizing my inner healer as my Grandmother a person who was wise,compassionate and was filled with goodness was very easy and upon completion of the exercise I felt not only relaxed and at peace but also vital.
I believe I liked this exercise because it brought back memories of a very special patient that I took care of. It left me feeling very peaceful.
