Hello class,
for some reason I thought I submitted this post a few days ago. It pays to double check! As I look back the various expercises had different impacts with me. Some of this is because of different variables on a given evening. With that said, the two which I feel the best about are Loving Kindness and Visualization. There tends to be a better benefit when I am focusing on breath control and sounds rather than repeating words. Secondly, I have been blessed to have been in beautiful locations around the world and those images are still edged in my mind. Becuase I find comfort in water settings and a lot of my memories include the water, it is easy for me to put myself in those locations and situations again and again and again. The part I struggle with is MAKING the time to actually practice any of these exercises on a consistant basis. I have the time or could designate the time. I just need to be like my good friend NIKE and just do it! Joe
Joseph have all heard of "Time is of the Essence" for you to double check means you made time to stop and think and put your thoughts in order. With practice it can only get better. We have all grown in a busy, fast paced world. I start with short periods daily. I hope by telling myself how important it is to increase my increments that eventually I will grow up to the 30 min exercises with little to no effort.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you, I'm sure you can DO IT!
I know what you mean, because I do not have a lot of time and want to do more meditation. I finally put the meditation files on an MP3 player which is in my pocketbook, but I did take the next step. It is great that you were able to travel and have great memories. Hope you got a lot out of this course, good luck!
