First off I want to apologize for not posting a blog for last week. Circumstances beyond my control precluded me from being in class.
The two exercises I enjoy the most are mental wellness and loving kindness. They both had be focusing on loving myself and those around me. This past week I went through a traumatic experience and found that the mediation helped me. I was able to center myself and redirect my emotions into something positive. I have had to learn to heal myself and the mediation helped take me to a deeper place.
When I become overwhelmed with my emotions I can use the loving kindness mediation I can take a few moments to bring my daughters to mind. Usually it is my oldest as she lives far away. By mediating I can not only calm myself I can visit my daughter whenever I want or need.

I hope everything is ok with you. It is amazing what mediation can do for you when you are dealing with difficult times. By mediating you can ground you mind to what really matters. Our childern are a great sense of calm (most of the time, I have teenage girls. LOL). I am glad that you have yours to create a sense of calm. Have you ever told you daughter that she gives that to you? This is good practice of loving kindness.

Jodi,
ReplyDeleteI have told my daughter that she has given me a calmness that I never had before. This has been a growing experience for the both of us.
