My unit 5 exercise was so much more in depth for me. It opened me up to being able to really focus on breathing and learning how to achieve the subtle mind. I don't know about any of you, but I noticed so many different faces that tried to deter my attention away from my breath of people I didn't even know. Does this happen to anyone else? Once the exercise was over, I felt so happy and lifted and relaxed, I slept so well that night!
I feel as though this exercise was much more easier for me than the previous one because it wasn't asking me to do something that I am not comfortable doing. I didn't have any frustrations but I definitely enjoyed listening to my breath move in and out of my chest more so with this one than the last one.
Since I have completed the subtle mind exercise, everytime I feel stressed, I just go back to that feeling that I had and it helps to relax me just a little more.
That is great that the exercise helped you so much. I also found it very relaxing but it was hard for me to do it the entire time. After about 15 minutes I want to get up and do things, but I know that the point of this is to try and get rid of those thoughts and relax. I do like doing these kinds of exercises though. It is helpful to hae an outlet like you said, something to go to to help you relax alittle bit more.
ReplyDeleteI am truely amazed at how something so simple, such as meditation sessions, can change a life so easily. There is nothing fancy needed. No special medication. Just you, and a short period of time.
ReplyDeleteI would love to continue these mediatation techniques, incorporate them into the whole family. I believe that it will help everyone.
