This exercise for me was good. I enjoyed the where you breath in to take away the black cloud of suffering from a loved one and breath out health and healing to them from your inner self. The experience had me feeling like I was floating and grounded at the same time if you can understand that or even if that makes sense to you. I think this exercise was really helpful for me because I recently lost my father a little over a month ago. Though I have maintain the ability to stay functional in everyday activities. The focus and or my mental state I had before is not as strong now as I would like it to be. I have been struggling to find my way back to a sense of being normal again fully. I think, If I had not had a regimen of meditation before I lost my father I would not have focus at all. I feel the exercise is definitely beneficial for me and members of my family who are also struggling to regain a handle on their life again. I will be using this exercise to help me overcome my loss and forward the exercise to other members of my family.
The point of a mental workout is to keep you the individual functioning at optimal levels. The brain is the control center where we perceive everything emotions, our health, responses, and thinking. the mental state of a person depends on how the will react at any given time. We can be better thinkers, resolve problem quickly and overcome barriers that may keep us from exploring changes in life.in many cases people are afraid of changes in their life due to lost of a loved one, health, or loss of a job. This why emotional support of friends and family is helpful for many and so depend on self help such as meditation prayer or a combination of these types of support, I think.
