Okay! So, the Loving Kindness exercise was great and everything, it opened my heart to others whom I don't even know, but The Subtle Mind exercise I thought was much better personally! In comparison, I felt more relaxed focusing on my breathing, than trying to think about people-if this makes any sense?? Sitting in silence, with or without the ocean waves and the flute, my focal point of my own breathing seemed to be very relaxing and I did come to a point of stillness. I am not so sure if I totally understand myself from witnessing my mind yet, I don't know if I have gotten there or not, but I understand stillness, and my mind was still and peaceful and if felt so wonderful!!
I am habitual with physical fitness, I think its very important for your body to have exercise due to your vital organs needing they're nutrition of oxygen-but, mental fitness is pretty awesome too. Peacefulness and stillness of the mind, creates stillness and peace throughout your entire body I feel, and it feels so good, just like after a run you feel more energy and have more alertness. I have ran 1/2 marathon, not only to me did that feel mentally great, but I felt like I could do physically anything after that (not right after....maybe 2 weeks after..You are defiantly sore!) As I gain more mental fitness and I prosper eventually to the ultimate goal of unity consciousness, I hope to feel just as I did after my 1/2 marathon that I can concer anything!!
Good luck to all those that try the Subtle Mind exercise! Have a great week everyone!
