Unit 4 Loving Kindness

Describe your experience. Did you find it beneficial? Difficult? Why or why not? Would you recommend this to others? Why or why not?

While I was listening loving kindness, the person voice I heard is soothing along with hearing the ocean waves hitting the beach shore or even rocks.The sounds of the ocean waves sounds make me think of walking on the beach as the water touches my feet.  me personally I have always loved going to the beach and just listening to sounds that the ocean makes or the sounds rain makes as it hits the roof of the house is quite relaxing to me. This exercise was quite relaxing to me because I find ocean sounds refreshing,soothing and relaxing. I would have friends and family try this sounds of nature are relaxing. 
What is the concept of "mental workout"? What does the research indicate are the proven benefits of a mental workout? How can you implement mental workouts to foster your psychological health?

The concept of mental workout is 2 contemplative practice loving kindness  and subtle mind. Research showed  the benefits that will tame and train the mind however also have us open up our mind of our heart . To implement an mental workout to possible to try in our daily routine. Me personally you can add yoga, meditation, Tai Chi or even belly dancing along with any physical activities you may have in your life.I have started to do more meditation during the week has helped me with my spiritual health.

  1. Samantha,
    I too love the sound of the ocean; I would find it hard to believe if someone said they didn't enjoy these sounds! (I'm sure there is someone who dislikes it out there in the world. lol) The voices in the videos are always what gets me first, the slow, monotone speech always makes me just about fall asleep. Usually by the middle of the video my head starts to fall onto my shoulder and the jolt wakes me up. Have you ever tried doing these exercises before bed? I think I'm going to try the next one right before bed, it seems like this would lead to a restful nights sleep.
