Unit 8 Blog

Review the exercises and practice sessions you have completed in this course. (Loving Kindness, Subtle mind, Visualization, meditation etc.) Choose two practices that you have determined to be most beneficial. How can you implement these practices in your personal life to foster “mental fitness”? Provide specific examples.

My personal favorites were the Loving Kindness practice, and the meditation. The loving kindness practice is very important to me because it is very important that we acknowledge everyone's existence, and value in the world. We are all connected in one way or another, so it is important that we are not so self centered that we forget that basic principle. The other practice is meditation, and for me this practice my be the most important of them all. It gives me the freedom to find myself which is so easily lost through out a stressful week. It helps me to bring balance back to life, and a state of peace to my spirit.

  1. Hello,

    Thanks for your post! I chose the same 2 exercises. Can you imagine what a different place the world would be if every person practiced loving kindness? I also value the balance meditation brings to my life.
