Loving Kindness and Subtle Mind Exercises

Hi everyone! These two exercises are the same in the relaxation part and connecting your mind with your body, but different in ways of what they have you focus on and how you put your energy into different ways of thinking. The loving kindness exercise made me have a connection with myself and reaching for the connection of a loved one, it made me feel happy and loving inside. The subtle mind exercise made me feel more of a connection with my mind, my body, and my breathing. It was very relaxing, but it took me a little bit to shift my focus to my breathing and then again to not focus too much on my breathing to where I am just one in my mind and body. Spiritual wellness has a big connection to the mental and physical wellness of myself. Mentally relaxing myself by fixating on my breathing helps me to be calm and relieve any stress that may be on my mind or in my body, the key is to just relax and find that point of comfort. This is manifested in my personal life because I seem to be stressed lately with school and work, I have to constantly focus on what I am doing in my classes and at work but practicing these exercises have me focus on myself and how I am feeling. I want to keep my spiritual and mental wellbeing healthy, so this can let me do that so that I can focus on my work life better. Thanks for listening, see everyone in class!
