Practice the universal Loving Kindness (meditation) exercise on p. 93.
I have tried to do the loving kindness and found out that is good but a little longer for my focusing. I have tried to close my eyes and it does not work out, if I keep my eyes open then I see something that needs my attention and then my mind shifts so fast. I have tried to repeat the exercise but as usual my eyes closed for thirty minutes more. I have learned that I have to keep on learning to the exercise and the little bit that I master each time will build up and oneday it will the best. The exercises are helpfull though I am now prictising to forgive, forget, giving love and kindness. I found that these four things are connected and they seem to be part of my backborn in life. Once I am able to do this I will have no stress, depression, anger and be myself and not self-fish. I will keep on practising these exercise and the little I achieve each day is great joy knowing that oneday I will be a master. I remember someone telling me that there is no good or bad way of doing it just keep on practising. Meditation is a good healing medicine that is priceless and it heals lots of wounds. This class is awesome. I have shared the exercises with some of my friends and they like them .
I am working hard to avoid having enermies oncer I know that I have done something to dissappoint someone I try to appologise and move on. I find life too short to have enermies lets love one another and keep on moving healthier.
Hi there!
ReplyDeleteI find those meditation exercises pretty relaxing but just like you I have a hard time of staying focused, my thoughts are scattered around and it prevents me from achieving the maximum outcome. Well I guess we just have to keep on practicing them and as you've said some day hopefully we would get better at it. Good luck to you!

Hello!
ReplyDeleteI have really enjoyed doint the loving kindness exercise. I feel like it really helps me reduce stress and anger. I am hoping the more I do it, the more I can focus on sharing kindness with others. Sometimes it is hard to focus, but I am getting better about not letting my mind wonder. Good luck with everything!

Hey Ruth!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that you are working hard on gaining more development in the loving-kindness exercise. It is kind of difficult to do at times, because my life is hectic and I find myself trying to focus on one of the mantras to help send out love and kindness. However, distractions can still get the best of me - and every now and then I find myself getting frustrated. Maybe I will try reading a mantra off of a piece of paper after I write it down and see what could happen. I think with my eyes shut while trying to repeat mantras in my head can cause me to get frustrated more easily.
Good Luck!
~Namaste~
