Exercise review

We have done quite a few exercises in this class and the one I tend to go back to is the subtle mind. I find it easy to do and can do it just about anytime. Even if it is just a few minutes of calming my chattering mind. I also like the loving kindness, although the mediation I found hard I am able to remember why this is important in my life. There are always going to be someone or sometime when you are not giving this. Just a quick breath and change of mind set seems to work for me. The exercise we did this week on visualisation of wholeness, happiness, and health is really going to take some more practice for me. I think if I could do subtle mind before this I would have better results. If my mind was calm I would hopefully be able to visualize better. I have a hard time focusing. So for know I am going to focus on subtle mind and loving kindness. I will be able to incorporate these into my life by taking the time to practice. When I am feeling overwhelmed and my mind begins to go a thousand miles a minute, I will recognize this and take the time to practice this technique. I will be able to use the loving kindness exercise when I am finding myself not finding compassion when dealing with others, whether at work, home, family member, and friends. Even if I am having a bad day I can change my mood by practicing loving kindness.
