The Loving Kindness, Subtle mind, Visualization, and meditation practices have been a new and helpful experience. These practices have giving me the opportunity to change habits and cultivate a commitment for living a healthy and conscious life. The two practices that I have found beneficial for me are the loving kindness and subtle mind which use meditation and breathing exercises to calm the mind to reach a profound mental clarity and open awareness. In the loving kindness exercise
the part that I liked most was the sound of the water because it calms me; it helps me to relax. It helps to slow down the active mind and brings a peaceful sensation. It is an easy way to stop for a few minutes and connect to pleasant moments, and restore at least for a few minutes my inner peace.
The Subtle Mind Practice focused in breathing and concentration. Dacher (2006) stressed “Used the breath as a focal point” (p. 75) It is a unique practice with periods of silence which I liked a lot. I found that the Loving kindness exercise is about sharing loving kindness with others. The Subtle mind practice aims to decrease mental activity, thoughts and feelings. Dacher (2006) recognized that “We must learned to quiet the seemingly uncontrollable and obscuring movements of our outer mind” (p. 71)
