Love and Kindness


              Well I must be honest in the sense that I did fall asleep during this exercise towards the end but I did get a good listen to it. I have been really sick lately so really I can fall asleep anywhere it seems, that and along with a baby up all night : )  I would really recommend this to others and I have already recommended that my husband give it a try. I have told him since we tried the very first exercise to try them. It really just gives you a sense of peace and love. I can honestly say that today was a super busy day (I listened to it last night) and I want to say it was the reasoning behind my energy and awesome mood that I had all day! Any little things in life that might stress you out just seem to float away. I liked in the exercise when it said to open your heart and let any good feelings and emotions in. I pictured in my head almost a waterfall into my heart that is open. Allowing all good in and all negative and bad out. As I pictured that I got a sense of calm and like I said, I still felt it today.

                Mental workout to me means really focusing on what you are thinking and feeling. As humans we don’t often enough look into how we are feeling. We may think about how we feel physically, tired, achy and so on, but we don’t block those physical feelings out and focus on how we feel inside mentally. Letting go of the day and focusing on that alone can really give you an overall sense of peace. Since I did this exercise before bed last night I feel like it really stuck with me when I went to sleep. If for that reason it worked so well I think that implementing it into my nightly routine could be beneficial. Not to mention it obviously relaxed me making me drift off at the end : )

  1. The subtle mind exercise really brought me peace too! Like you, I almost fell asleep. I tried the concept last night without the recording and had a difficult time letting things go. I guess I need the recording or need to work a little harder.

    When it came to the loving kindness exercise, I felt great because I was able to love myself and others, providing them with support I thought they needed without them even knowing.
