The Subtle Mind and breathing meditation exercises were favorites of mine because these exercises allowed me to take time from the stress of the day and witness and feel calm and centered. With so many stressful events happening in our lives this is vitally important to spiritual, mental and physical health.
It was a challenge to take the time to actually practice these in my life but once I stopped and got into them it was so beneficial that I came to the realization that I must commit the subtle mind and breathing meditations to daily practice.
I hope to use these in my daily life and expand to help others discover these simple, yet effective practices.
Hi Rosie,
ReplyDeleteI too find that the Subtle Mind and the Loving-kindness practices were the most beneficial for me. I had some challenges incorporating the loving-kindness, but once I became familiar with the techniques it was easier to complete.
As individuals we are often preoccupied with our daily activities that we don't take time out to relax.
On days when my job tasks are overwhelming, I usually take 30 minutes out of my lunch break to sit quietly and relax. This enables me to become more focus and detail-orient when performing my jog. It also increases my productivity level in the afternoon, and most importantly I don't have to make that famous trip to the vending machine. LOL
Hi Rosie
ReplyDeleteThis class has introduced me to so much. I will continue to do the exercises that we have learned. I wish you the best in all your future endeavors.
Hi Rosie,
ReplyDeleteI too have the difficulty implementing even the easiest of things such as meditation during my day, even if it is for 5 minutes. I am going to try to schedule it into my day right now and see how it goes. I know that sounds weird, but I have no other way to do it. I must see for myself if it will be beneficial, so in order to do that I actually have to do it!
Happy Relaxing!
Melanie
