The two exercises that I found to be beneficial are the
loving kindness and visualization. The loving kindness exercise allows me to
sit calm and peaceful and allows me to be in a place of serenity and comfort
and think about the people in my life and allows me to send love and positivity
to the through meditation. The visualization exercise allows me to think about
images that are calming to my soul such as my children, my husband and my
family. It allows me to bring to my mind a mental picture of what I want to see
and experience and what bring peace and joy to my life. These two exercises are
beneficial to my journey love and kindness is inside of me and being able to
focus my attention to the idea makes the journey even better. The visualization
exercises allow me to focus my thoughts onto things that bring me happiness. I
want to continue to adapt these practices to my life each and every day in order
for me to feel whole.
Andrea,
ReplyDeleteThe exercises you have chosen have been very popular among the group. Your description of the benefits you receive from these exercises are very rewarding and seem to give you a better approach to life, living, and what they have to offer. Your family would appreciate the fact that their images bring a calming to your mind and that they are a main focus of your life. So often we get caught up in the busyness of life and forget about what is really important. So it is nice to see that you have things in perspective. These exercises have benefited you and aided you on your journey of integral health and human flourishing. I wish you well and hope you see the journey to the end, enjoying life and reaping the rewards it has to offer.
