Unit 8

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.

I chose this course because I really wanted to learn to meditate and I can honestly say that it has been a great experience thus far. Throughout this course I have been practicing the meditative exercises and practices, the recordings have been the most beneficial. Visualization and the loving kindness are the most I was able to identify the most with. The loving-kindness exercise encourages to simply to love others as well as myself. This can only be a great thing and it has been. The visualization exercise is also very beneficial because it allows me to visualize what and where I want to be in my life. This is absolutely wonderful, I have been doing this for a long time and it works for me.

I am not implementing these practices as much as I would like but I practice it at least twice a week. I usually incorporate the exercises during my brake, as I stated before I have it on my iTunes on my iPhone to be more readily available to me.
