Most Beneficial Practices

  Wow! We are almost done with this course. In the beginning of the course I thought that this class would be a drag but boy was I wrong! This course has really opened my mind up to new things and  has also changed the way I view different situations.

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

  After careful consideration of all the practices we encountered during this course I found that meditation and loving-kindness are the ones that really work for me.  I think that mediation is great for me because it clears my mind of any negative images, thoughts that could hinder my performance at work or even affect me at home. Meditation allow me to leave work at work and not bring any of the bad vibes in my home.

  Loving-kindness allows me to embrace all living beings, including those that I may consider to be enemies.

  I have already implemented both practices into my daily life by setting time aside each night for me to meditate and by allowing myself to forgive others and treat them with respect even though they may not like me or vise verse. I have not perfected any of the two practices but I do think that if I continue doing them that I can keep an positive outlook on life.
