Finally, an exercise that did not put me to sleep! I, like others, found the narrator's voice in the Loving Kindness exercise to be a bit distracting. But when I listened to the Subtle Mind exercise, I was more able to just relax and let my mind go where it will. I like relaxation methods that I can do anywhere, anytime, without the need for a CD or other implements. Something that I can do in 5 minute increments during the day regardless of whether I'm at home during my son's nap, in the waiting room at the dr's office, or waiting for my daughter's school bus on the corner.
I believe spiritual wellness is crucial to mental and physical health. I have noticed before that when I'm stressed out or hurting either mentally or physically, my first instinct is to turn inward and nurse my spiritual aspect, whether by simply taking a nap to give my brain time to reset, or full meditation if I need to analyze something without the distractions of daily life.
