The exercises that I have completed in this course have overall been a beneficial experience. The one exercise that I did not find beneficial was the loving kindness exercise, which was too emotionally draining for me. I was not able to get past my emotions to feel the benefits of it.
The subtle mind was very easy for me to follow along and helped me to relax. I have actually practiced this exercise a few times this week. I try to incorporate meditation into my daily routine now because it helps me to calm my mind and gives me some time to focus on myself.
The loving kindness exercise allowed me to open my mind up towards others and it made me feel really good. It allowed me to think of others and to feel as if, with my thoughts, I was helping them even in the smallest way. It is an amazing feeling when you give every bit of yourself in order to help someone else. I feel as if this is another exercise that I could do more than once a week, I loved the way it made me feel and think that it is important to think positively of others.
