Beneficial for my mind
Of the four practices (Loving-Kindness, Subtle Mind, Visualization and Meditation) that we have done this term, I found that visualization and meditation to be most beneficial to me. I was able to do both and feel like I had accomplished something. When we did loving-kindness, it seemed difficult to focus my mind on what the speaker was saying. Visualization was very easy for me to do because I have been to many places that I loved to be at. Visualizing these places easily bring me at ease and to a calm place where I can focus my mind. Meditation as a whole is very calming and lets me focus my mind on the tasks that I want to complete. I am able to focus and not allow random thoughts take me off of the task that I am trying to complete. It also helps me realize that the things that I cannot control should not deter me from what I'm trying to do.

I have to agree with you. I didn't really like the Loving Kindness, Subtle Mind or Meet Ascelpicus. They irritated me more that helped me. The very 1st one I think it was Journey On, was my favorite. I felt energized after concentrating on the blood flow in my body. I helped me relax and recover from muscle soreness. The hardest part for me is to quiet my mind. I have a million things yelling at any given moment. Like right now while I am trying to concentrate I have 3 of my 4 kids wrestling loudly, and my oldest constantly texting me. It's very hard to find quiet time.
