Loving Kindness

Hi All!

     This indeed was a enjoyable relaxing excercise.  I truly found it inlighting to help us understand how through a mental state of awareness can we not only send out good vibes to those we love and care about but we can also send out kindness, love and overall good health and wellness to those we do not know.  This is omething I try to do in my prayers on a everday basis, I pray for all those who need help in this world, I pray for all those who volunteer their time and I pray for all those in hospitals who need to get well.  I also pray that all who need assistance are treated with dignity and the respect that they should be.  This excercise left me with a sense of peace and understanding that we have to think about others and wish them optimal health and wellness whether we know them or not.  This is a practice I will continue working.  I believe we can train our minds to stay in a positive mind setting and through this it can benefit all we come in contact with.  We have to understand if we are feeling negative thoughts this comes across to others as well, and this could actually change how they perceive things.  I think if I try to stay in a positive state by keeping negative thoughts out of my mind I can truly be on the way to psycholocal health.

"Crime of the Century"

At first listening to this was a bit frustrating because sometimes I have a hard time with visualization; but eventually I was able connect.  I found that by focusing on each window and the color proceeding out of it along with the suggestive words to have a complete calming affect.  I was very tired when I started listening to this and I was for sure that I would fall asleep during or right after it.  But I actually feel a bit more alert and not quite ready for bed yet.  I believe I will use this excercise again in the future.
