When practicing the Universal Loving-Kindness exercise I could really feel my heart opening up as if my soul was becoming more humble. Practicing this exercise made me realize even more how important it is for our health to be able to love someone else. Not only should we just love someone else, but really be able to give back and help someone else whenever needed. Being able to pray for others and yourself in the same prayer is always relaxing and healing to me. This exercise tells me that to maintain peace of mind and over all health then I have to be relieve anger and hatred all the time. This picture I have posted reminded me of the most calming, relaxing time I thought I may ever experience which was on my honeymoon. Water is such a soothing thing to watch. I think this exercise is very beneficial and should be used in everyday meditating.

I love your picture! it really is calming just to look at it. I can imagine that meditating in an environment like this could be truly enlightening. One of my favorite ways to meditate and focus on these different practices is when I'm outside running or walking or doing something where I'm surrounded by everything that is wonderful in nature.
ReplyDeleteThanks Heidi,
ReplyDeleteI have always found water and nature to be the best thing to calm me. Being around nature is calming because your able to see the small things in life that some of us really take for granted.
