Loving Kindness

This exercise was very beneficial…the soothing sound of the waves took me to a very happy time. I imagined being at the beach with my daughter’s prior to their regression. With my eyes closed the images of my daughters were very vivid and the sound of the waves brought back pleasant memories which helped take away my stress which has been running very high lately. I was actually able to turn off the mental chatter and focus on relaxing and I imagined my girls giggling and playing in the sand as the sun shines down on their smiling faces. This exercise lead me to a place in which I needed to be right now in order to deal with the obstacles that have been put before me.

 

Before this exercise I felt that my heart was very open and loving kindness was something that I practice regularly; I was wrong. This exercise gave me a new perspective in achieving the ultimate loving kindness.

 

A mental work out such as this would be very beneficial in achieving a level of peace. By setting aside one hour a day I can and so can you learn to open your heart, expand your consciousness, and train your mind to work towards psychospiritual flourishing.

 

I would recommend this exercise to work anyone who wants to work towards achieving loving-kindness and wisdom….and to train aid in training your mind to achieve it. As an Olympian trains to become a superior athlete we must train our minds to diminish the focus on ourselves and learn to become compassionate to others.
