Unit 8
"Optimal Well-being"
I think the two exercises which I had the best feedback from were Loving-kindness and "Meeting Asclepius." Both brought love and warmth to me and so many emotions. I think as I go about my day, I tend to bottle up my feelings and it feels wonderful at the end of the day to meditate and let them go. More often than not, I do the Loving-kindness exercise over the others and I like to do it after I work out. I used to think it would be difficult to incorporate into my life, but like anything new or "good for me," I think I was just making excuses. As far as the benefits I am getting from my mental workouts: patience, stress relief, and I am becoming less cynical. I am taking this slowly and I am truly liking what I am seeing and FEELING!
As you are reading other bloggers posts - are you finding that most, too, enjoy the loving kindness and "Meeting Asclepius" exercises the best? Those were my two, as well!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you're already incorporating the Loving Kindness exercise into your life routines. I haven't been able to do so yet, but am hoping to start soon myself.
Good luck with everything!
