Unit 4 Blog post
I turned on my faucet of love and kindness and was ready to explore. The crashing waves in the back helped me to further relax and put my mind at ease. Becoming still and quiet is beginning to get a little easier and I can notice a calmness in me throughout the day. Feeling the natural rest came easy because I was ready for sleep anyway. But what I didn't like or what gave me a bad feeling was thinking of my loved one suffering. This in turn helped me when it was time to give them joy. No longer did I remember them in their suffering stage but began to think of the happy times, their laugh and great spirit. All in all the exercise was helpful and meant a lot to me.

That's great that the Loving Kindness meditation was so useful for you! Even though it wasn't something that I connected with, it just supports the idea that there is something different and effective for everyone; there isn't a right or wrong way. If we incorporate a variety of methods from many schools of thought then I think we evolve into well-grounded, spiritual individuals.
