Loving Kindness

This exercise was better than the last one. What I liked most was the fact that the ladies’ voice was soft and soothing, not boring and the sounds of the ocean and flute was nice. I often listen to sounds of nature and flutes to sleep better anyway so this was perfect for me. In the beginning of this exercise, it asked me to think of someone I hold dearly. I immediately thought of my grandfather who passed away and then I thought of my cat Smokey who just passed away Friday. I started to get emotional but I had to refocus and think of the happiness they brought me when they were both still living. The exercise shifted my focus to myself so I was able to let the sad thoughts go completely. I was having a very hard weekend with the passing of Smokey so this exercise allowed me to clear my mind and refocus my thoughts. I found myself at peace because of this exercise. Even if it was only temporary, it was very beneficial. I would definitely recommend this to others because sometimes you need direction and natural ways to calm the mind, body and soul. I do feel some of the things were not for me but I understand the concept or the reason behind touching so many different topics in the exercise; which I believe is to satisfy a wide range of personal areas. This way there is something for everyone in it.
