Subtle Mind
The subtle mind practice is different from the loving kindness practice; there is less talk and simple focus . I think that the subtle mind would be better for those that find it hard to focus as the focus point in this practice is the breath. I found this practice to be calming and easy to do. Because of my yoga practice I could relate to this practice and found it beneficial. Physical and mental work hand in hand, in this particular exercise I feel the benefits right away. The slowing and calming of the breath helps to center the body and still the mind. Being able to slow our breathing can assist in lowering blood pressure and calm hyperactivity of the heart and mind. I would recommend this practice. It is simple enough to implement daily and effective immediately.

Hey! How are you this week?
ReplyDeleteI agree completely! I had issues with the first exercize and I truely enjoyed the subtle mind one. I believe that it was much easier to focus. I do think that it would help many other people to focus and maintain a meditative time. Often in life we need something to calm us down and let us breathe, this would be great to do like once a day and just relax to. I could see myself continuing this on a daily basis.
Have a great week! Sara
I agree. I could really get in to this exercise. The previous one did not time for me. I had a terrible time with it. I think I am going to redo this one on my trip home tomorrow. I have been using these tapes when I fly because I have been so tired lately. The last one was not very useful, but I still continue to use the first two. Good luck!
