The loving kindness exercise is still very hard for me. I did enjoy focusing on my family but it is very hard for me to focus on loving others outside of my home. Doing the integral assessment made me realize that I have been and still are focusing on my psychospiritual journey. I spend a lot of time contemplating the universe and all the higher powers that are out there. I have been spending more time trying to discover who I am and where I fit in this great big world. I enjoy reading and trying to make sense of what I don't know. Spending some time in meditation ehlps me to clear my mind and open myself up to greater things in this world.

Doing the subtle mind exercise made me relax like I do when I do yoga. It was very soothing. I love participating in breathing exercises. Concentrating on the breath lets all the stress and worries float away. It calms my mind and releases the tension. The difference between the two lies in the concetration of the meditation. Last week the focus was on my loved ones, this week the focus was on me. It is nice to alternate betweent the two and focus on the two most important aspects of my life, my well being and my family. That mental relaxation helps to bring the soul to rest along with the mind. When the mnd can rest so can the body. It makes life a lot easier and calmer when my mind and body are calm and at rest.

Unit 4

the loving kindness exercise really made me focus on my loved ones. I could feel the warmth and love just pour through me. It made me relax and really just feel the love that I have and how it fills my life and soul. I am so blessed to have a wonderful family to love and be loved by.
