As I did this assignment this week I reflected on why. Why listen to a cd on peace and feeling and training of the mind. Than after doing the actual project I realized it was not about just training my mind. I was relaxing my body, slowing my heart, releasing tension. After working 12 hour days at the hospital this was a nice relaxing time. It did take a while to actually get to listen to the cd and practice the focusing and visualization. I decided to picture my children as my ultimate love. I stepped up the project when closing my eyes I visualized my own aura encircling me and enveloping me in peace and love.
This was a very interesting experience for me since I laughed at the start of this class about meditation. In my head I thought, 'what did I sign up for?" After attending for the last 4 + weeks I haven't felt super charged but, I have felt more relaxed, less tense all the time and I practice loving kindness daily. I even smile when I answer my cell phone and imagine the other person can see it. I have been getting interesting feed back, co workers actually said I was different, calmer. I am looking forward to the next assignment. Thanks for reading my journey into the mind of madness stay tuned.
I think its so great how you are able to get something out of the project. I myself, however, need a little more how do they call it mind workout. :) I tried and I tried and it just seemed like I couldnt focus. If I wasnt thinking about one thing I was definantly thinking of another and no matter how much I wanted to experience the peace and tranquility of it all I just couldnt get there, not yet any way, but I will continue to try.
