Loving Kindness vs Subtile Mind

I actually liked both the Loving Kindness exercise and the Subtile Mind exercise.  I would have to say that the Subtile Mind was probably my favorite though.  I have never in my life been that relaxed after doing one of these exercises.  I didn't fall asleep but I got REALLY close.  I was totally and completely relaxed.  The Loving Kindness one had me thinking a little more; therefore, I wasn't able to get completely relaxed like I was with the Subtile Mind exercise.  I have found that the more open-minded and connected I feel the healthier and more relaxed I feel.  When I am positive and truly know in my mind that everything will be okay in the end, I feel healtier and more relaxed and ready to take on the world!

  1. Hello Rachael!
    I also was able to relax more by the time I did the Subtile Mind exercise. I have found doing these exercises has enabled me to lose some of my mental chatter. In addition, I see life a bit different, more from one who is witnessing rather than reacting including. I wish you the best in your practices for this class and beyond!
