Unit 5 The Subtle Mind

I really liked this practice better than I did the loving-kindness.  With this one I could really get that breathing thing going on.  I have done a breathing exercise before when I couldn't sleep.  I would breathe  in through one nostril while hoding the other nostril, and then let the air out while holding the other nostril.  After doing this about ten times I would fall asleep.  This practice really helps me to clear my head.  I am learning how to focus on the breathing more every time I do it.  With more practice I can be free from mental movements, and be able to choose what I would like to direct my attention to and create the foundation for calm-abiding and integral health.

  1. I enjoyed this practice better than the loving kindness too. This exercise made me calm and I was able to focus on the breathing as well. This exercise would be good for you to continue when you need to regroup. This exercise is something I will continue to do in the near future.
