Unit 4: Loving-Kindness and Mental Workout

We must open our heart to others and open our mind to reveal an insightful wisdom that knows the truth of our life and of existence. This power gives us an insight and understanding that is not available to lesser levels of consciousness. Loving-Kindness and the Subtle mind combined train the mind, open the heart, expand consciousness, and progress us toward psycho-spiritual flourishing.  As meditation deepens during these mental workouts, theta waves also increase, bringing even deeper relaxation, more creative thinking and intuition, enhanced problem solving abilities, and an openness to spiritual insight and illumination.
I have already incorporated these exercises into my life. Late night relaxation would be best for me due to my two toddlers and a husband who keeps me on my toes. I call it “mommy time”!  This will help me become more relaxed and less stressed.

  1. Thanks for sharing. I am in complete agreement with you on the mommy time being an essential part of the day in some form in order to do just that. Have time to release tension in whatever manner works. Meditation, yoga, Tai Chi there are so many different forms of. I think it is so important to take that time for our elves as it does help us to be better for those around us.

  2. Amy,

    I love that you can create "mommy time" for yourself. I believe it is an important thing for all people, especially mommies, to make time for themselves, even if it is just allowing yourself to sit in peace for fifteen minutes. It promotes the act of rebooting or recharging the system in order to run more efficiently.
    I am also an advocate for expanding the conscious, it is truly important and beneficial to be 'in tune' with your mind, body, and spirit. It allows for optimal wellness and happiness.
    Thanks for sharing,

    Peace,
    Nico
