As this week draws to a close, I am sad because my
Grandmother has passed away. Throughout this time of sadness and grief the
things that I have learned throughout this course has provided comfort. Though
I have tried many of the exercises that we have been assigned throughout this
course countless times, the one that I love the most is subtle mind. I use this
exercise countless times throughout the day. When I control my breathing, my
thoughts are more clear and controlled. The other exercise that I enjoy is the
love-kindness exercise, though not as enjoyable as subtle mind, love-kindness helps
me relax my mind and body. Like most things in life, practice makes perfect or at
least it makes it easier. To implement these exercises, I just take a couple of
minutes out of the day and do the exercises. Some days are harder than other
days because of the other commitments that I have, but I make it a priority to
do these exercises and they have been extremely helpful.
Marinda,
ReplyDeleteI am very sorry about the loss of your Grandmother. I think these exercises can help us get through a variety of tough situations - even the loss of a loved one. I personally have used these exercises to get through stressful and overwhelming situations. I think if we incorporate these and make them a priority, then we will all benefit greatly.
