After reading chapter 6 and listening to the loving-kindness mp3, I realize that I already practice loving-kindness on a daily basis. I say good morning to all who come by at my work and show kindness to most all people I come in contact with. I increased my loving-kindness this week and it made me feel good, it made my insides feel warm and fuzzy. So yes I found it beneficial, I would definitely recommend that others try it because it may make them feel better inside as well. The mp3 exercise was relaxing and I enjoyed listening.
The concept of a mental workout is the same as a physical workout, to keep the mind in proper functioning order it needs to have a good workout daily or several times a week. This is done progressively developing the expansion of our consciousness and understanding our healing capabilities (Dacher, 2006). To benefit psychological health we can practice loving-kindness and training our minds to control and choose our thoughts, and emotional states.
