The first thing I enjoyed in this class would be the meditation exercises. The first exercise was the one that opened my mind up to the thought and practice of meditation. The music and the man's voice were incredible. They relaxed me and I felt safe. The other exercises that we did were not as beneficial for me. I did not enjoy the woman's voice or the pauses that were placed into the exercise. I really found my mind wandering to others things during the breaks. I can really use these exercises in my life when I become anxious or even stressed. I have a problem with anxiety and I have been using these techniques learned in this class to help with this.
The second part of this class I enjoyed was loving kindness. I feel we all can learn from this. I now step back and look at how my behavior relates to others around me. My actions and words can effect many things besides myself. I have also noticed others actions and words and how they carry themselves when they are having a bad day. You can really be effected by negativity in a way I had never thought about. I have began to teach my family and friends of how our emotions can effect others even though you feel you are hiding them. This has worked in my relationship with my finace and with my son.
Tammy, you are so right that many people don't realize how negativity has an affect on them and the people around them. I am glad to hear you have been able to improve your relationships. It is great that you are spreading the word. I feel a responsibility to share the knowledge I have learned in this class with all of my family and friends because it makes such a great difference in our lives.
