1.Compare and Contrast the Loving Kindness exercise and the Subtle Mind exercise. Explain your experience including the benefits, frustrations, etc.
I have to say that I wasn't too impressed with this exercise. I know that I have a lot on me right now and I am juggling a lot and have a lot of stress that I am dealing with so I may not be giving these exercises the time and attention that I should be.
I feel that the Loving Kindness exercise was easier for me to perform, but I liked the Subtle Mind one better overall. I am thinking that I may go back and try these exercises again when I don't have so much on my mind.
I do know that these exercises can have a great benefit for my life and I will definitely give them another chance when I am better suited and don't have so much stress on my life.

Unit 4: Loving-kindness
After reading chapter 6 and listening to the tracks on the cd I have come to the conclusions that the loving kindness exercise was not really for me.
I found the mans voice to be rather hard to follow. I was more focused and enlightened by the females voice and found myself to be more relaxed when listening to her voice. I enjoyed the ocean sounds in the pauses and thought that was very relaxing to me. I found myself to be very focused and enlightened during the subtle mind exercise. During the subtle mind exercise I felt very light, very focused, and very refreshed.
With my hectic lifestyle I don't think that I will be able to fit the loving kindness exercise into my daily life but I know that I will be able to fit the subtle mind exercise into my daily life routine. I think that I will be able to clear my mind using the subtle mind techniques. I think that this is going to help me destress in my everyday life.
I would definitely recommend the subtle mind exercise to everyone that I know and I will explain to them how it helps you relax and focus. I thinkt hat a lot of my friends will be able to benefit from this exercise on a daily basis.
A mental workout is just as important as a physical workout. Of course, during a mental workout we are using our minds and our brains instead of our body. Just as you have to keep working out to stay physically fit you have to keep using your mind to keep it sharp. I feel that you can practice the mental part of the workout and help maintain your overall wholeness as a person.
I hope everyone has a great day!
