Hi Everyone, Not sure what happened last week, but I'm reposting this blog. I do not see the powerpoint posted either. Hope everyone had a great week, I took a little R & R and spent some time with my family with no access to anything electronical, just us and nature and enjoyed it tremendously. Gave me time to think more about the Loving-Kindness and Subtle Mind exercises we have done over the last few weeks and my frustration of just not getting it. Both of these exercises seem like great tools for some or most people I just have trouble getting to the point I know we are striving far. The sounds of the waves of course are great and relaxing and are my favorite part, but that talking and wanting you to focus on this or that just loses me. I found myself getting up and filling up the bird feeders as I listened. Due to my blood pressure issues a few years ago I have learned alot about how stress can affect your body and so I have placed in my life not only physical activity of walking 3-4 times a week but time to relax everyday and let go of the things that may be bothering me so they do not fester and let go of the stress of the day. My way is different than what the exercises we have been completing each week. I see my way as simpler. I just like to sit in my rocking chair on my back porch and relax, I can actually sit our there for hours and thinking about absolutely nothing, just clear my mind and relax. Other times it is the perfect place and time for me to work out issues in order to resolve problems and stress. My son laughs at me, he will open the back door and just smile at me and go back in. I think to each their own, just find what works for you and work it.
