After reading and learning about the different ways for
mental exercise I believe that visualization and loving kindness are beneficial
for me more than the other exercises. I
tend to be a very visual person and keeping a picture and a mindset of image I want
to see in the future or daily will help keep a remembrance of happiness and
love for myself and everyone around me.
As for loving kindness, this is beneficial for me because it will help
have a broader and accepting self for myself and others around me on a constant
level of love and kindness.
Hi Victoria,
ReplyDeleteUniversal loving kindness was one I chose. I consider myself very empathetic, caring and loving to others. Until this class, the lesson and practice on universal loving kindness, I was unaware of the higher capacities of our own loving kindness. It took it as a real eye opener. Honestly, I have continued with this particular exercise. Meditating and deepening my awareness has brightened my mood at work and strengthened my ability to serve my customers. I think this is very important in any career where you must work with people but it’s also important in everyday life because you will always be in contact with people in some type of way.
The loving-kindness exercise is a great way to not only learn to love yourself, but also to love the people around you. There unfortunately are a lot of people these days that tend to only look out for themselves; who can really benefit from this exercise.
