Hello everyone,
The goal of the Loving Kindness exercise is to create a heartfelt loving-kindness that diminishes your self-centeredness and quiets your mind. It is a practice that restores integral health, happiness, and wholeness into life. It requires focusing on reflecting their meaning and developing a certainty regarding their truth through regular practice. I accomplished this, however I was distracted, but was able to achieve giving and receiving love and kindness, and recognize stillness. The concept of giving and receiving love and kindness attracts love and kindness to better prepare our minds to travel the path of human flourishing. I had feelings of caring and affection toward myself and others. I welcomed the love and let it be! To begin I stretched, breathed, and focused myself. I loved the Ocean wave sounds in the background. I was able to think and clear my mind. I did find this exercise beneficial. My difficulties came when feelings of love and tenderness were mentioned in order to fully experience feelings of love. I have trouble with expressing my feelings of love, sharing and opening up. Some key points of the exercise were to fully embrace life and openess; love yourself first before loving others and be ok with that. I did not like the ending when it talked about the suffering of a loved one and strangers. Concluding this Loving Kindness exercise, I was empowered and refreshed, however left pondering. So, I think I am going to have to keep up this exercise. I know I will achieve better results next time.
