Unit8
I can foster Loving kindness that the subtle mind into my personal life. When we meditate, our minds and bodies become naturally, relaxed. Our hindrances dissolve. Our sleepiness and drowsiness, for instance, are replaced by alertness. Doubt is replaced by confidence, hatred by joy, restlessness and worry by happiness. As our resentment is replaced by joy, loving-kindness and the subtle mind hidden in our subconscious mind expresses itself, making us more peaceful and happy. In this state of meditation we gain concentration and overcome our greed. We can see how meditation destroys hatred and cultivates loving-kindness, which in turn supports our practice of meditation. Together these two operate in unison, culminating in concentration and insightfulness. Therefore, to pick up one’s own mind wave of loving-kindness one must fine tune oneself through the practice of mindfulness meditation. Also you must have it within yourself before you teach it to others just like you cannot teach someone a subject if you do not know it yourself first. This keeps me in check and stay positive at all times.

I only wish that more of us would have the oppurtunity to experience the things that we are learning. It is so simple like you stated to keep a positive mind in the face of all things. Positive thinking should be on the cirriculum along with math and science. I believe that we should and will pass these lessons on to not only our clients but with all who we come in contact with.
