Loving Kindness
At first when I started it, I had a hard time focusing on just those 4 sentences. I kept trying to remember what they were. I feel more comfortable with guided meditation, because I can "let go" more (if that makes any sense). So I did it again with the "jest" of what these sentences were saying and it was very "enlightening". I actually felt like I was accomplishing something, or doing a good deed. :) The integral assessment exercise really made me aware of a few things that I had been "sitting on" and not acknowledging. Although I feel being open helps not only myself and others in class I would rather not discuss this one. I will say I feel as though I have let myself down in some way. I feel that meditation and adding some "quick" little exercise sessions would be most beneficial at this point. I'm actually glad we did this exercise, so I don't have to harbor it any longer and I can start taking control. :)

I am also starting to like the guided meditations. I never thought I would get into them, but they really help me.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you have started to take that control you said you needed. Progress not perfection.
Good for you!
Hey Brenda!
ReplyDeleteIt took me a few tries before I could grasp this one, so don't feel alone. It's great that you are able to focus on that issue that has been bothering you. Taking the time to recognize the root of the problem, and taking control is a great start for someone like yourself who desires a sense of peace. Best of luck to you!
I am sorry that you had a hard time with the exercise. I found it hard in the beginning as well. Maybe you just need to practice a little more. I know some things can become a challenge when we have to memorize them and then say it over and over. It's good that you felt like you accomplished something. I always love that feeling. It makes me proud.
