The subtle mind helps us with patience and remaining calm. Breathing techniques go hand in hand with the subtle mind and because of this reason we learn to express unity and show less anger. The exercise begins and I place my focus on inhaling and exhaling through my nose. I did get distracted by a few sounds from my kids watching tv (I did the exercise with my headphones on) but was able to regain focus. Once again with the waves crashing and soft flute playing in the back it was able to literally imagine myself on a beach with the fire going and lots of blue water everywhere. My breathe became deeper as I closed my eyes and allowed the sound to take me away.
During the love and kindness exercise there seemed to be a lot more focus on taking in the feelings and pain of others. Love and kindness wanted us to understand how a loved one felt during a time of sickness where as this exercise made me dig deeper into myself and focus more on my breathing and own stability. I liked that this exercise gave us more time in between the talking for us to think, listen and become one with our minds.
