Unit 6 Universal Loving Kindness

Unit 6 - Universal Loving Kindness Exercise

I really feel like the benefits that I receive from the practice of any of the Loving-Kindness exercises have been extremely positive and have definately assisted me in my overall well being and mental health.  The Universal Loving Kindness exercise is a beneficial tool to practice when you need to find peace at a moments notice and you don't have the time or place to practice a whole 15 minute exercise.  I like that the Universal Loving Kindness exercise can be done anywhere at anytime, and will always have a positive and calming effect on me and allow me to refocus my energy in a way that is more rewarding for all parties involved.  I also really liked that it encourages you to really be present and in the moment with all the people that are in your life.  The only New Year's resolution that I made this year was just that "to make sure that I was present and in the moment with the people that I value in my life".  I somehow feel that by doing this I am moving from just a state of being to actually imprinting my life with possibilities and memories that I would not experience otherwise.  So far this practice has added a level of wholeness to my friendships and more openness with my husband.  I wrote the four phrases down on a card to keep in my wallet until I have them memorized.  I can see me sharing this little tool with several of my friends and family members.
