I found the Subtle Mind exercise easier to follow than the Loving-Kindness practice. I had to listen to the Loving-Kindness exercise a couple times to complete it. I remember feeling uncomfortable when the instructor asked to think about a love one in pain and 'absorb' her pain, transform it and breath it out in the shape of love and kindness. I think I felt uncomfortable and somewhat frustrated because the love one I thought about is in emotional pain. I felt like her pain could have affected me while I was breathing it in, but at the same time I wanted to continue with the exercise to give her a little help. It was like crossed feelings.
During the Subtle Mind exercise, I was able to quickly stayed focused. The instructions were so much easier to follow and I felt more relaxed when it ended.
At the end of the Subtle Mind exercise, I was able to feel the connection between my body and my mind. I was physically, mentally and spiritually relaxed. My day had been hectic, just like my usual routine but I was able to calmly complete it. Even in the most stressful moment I was still able to be calmed, stress free!
This was just a little prove of the wonders that meditation can do for my wellness. There is still a long way to go and grow.
