Unit 8 - Continued practice

Unit 8 - Continued practice of meditations....

So here we are almost at the end of our class.  I have to say that I really hate to see this class go. Anyways, this week was full of surprises that always test my limits.  I did participate in my loving-kindness exercises on a more consistent basis.  I have noticed that my ability to deal has been much better, but I am also just physically exhausted.  So I am not sure if getting rid of all the unnecessary mental trash that I have been carrying around has just worn me out.  On the other hand I have noticed that I am much more aware and in the moment with the important people in my life this last week. One being my son who came home from Seattle to visit and to share with us what he has been off doing.  My son is a writer and cinematographer in a sense but at this time it is not a job that pays him any money.  He had the honor of working on a documentary that took him all across the United States last year bringing awareness to PTSD of our soldiers.  The Team Jesse project was very powerful and very moving especially because my husband is a veteran.  (www.teamjesse.org) This is the first time that I was able to see how gifted my son is and hear other people talk about what a value you he was to the overall project.  I am so very proud of him.

Out of all the exercises I still like the Loving-Kindness exercise and just basic meditation that I have used in the past through Deepok Chopra.  They seem to be the ones that get me to my inner consciousness and allow for the a deeper peace inside of me.  I used to meditate daily just to keep a spiritual balance and mental clarity.  I had gotten away from it until this class.  Now I find myself transcending more and more.
