Loving Kindness (meditation)
Loving Kindness (Dacher2006) is an embrace of life that softens the mind and opens the heart. This exercise has helped me tremendous; recently I have gone through a lot of issues in my life. I realize stress is necessary for life however stress is only harmful when it becomes overwhelming and interrupts the healthy state of equilibrium that your nervous system needs to remain in balance. Through this exercise I was able to close my eyes and imagine a restful place where all my worries drift away.
The Integral Assessment brings my attention to what is going on at the present in my life, with my inner feelings, thoughts, and reactions. I’m trying very hard to accept the current reality and to stop resisting the good feeling as well as bad feeling experiences. I am constantly learning from my interactions with my outer experiences to look at my physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health.
Having inner wisdom helps me to concentrate on this exercise, through spirituality and meditation. It helps me to navigate through my difficulties, through my values, beliefs, gratitude, peace and love.
