The person that you are today is not dictated by yesterday or tomorrow. Be you now.


Good day.

I have found this weeks exercise to been a very helpful one. I managed to learn how to quite my thoughts but when I did, I didn't know what to do. Either way I am very happy that I finally figured out how to quite my mind so no matter what its a success. I did take the sounds of the waves and pretended I was laying on the beach trying to get my body to feel the warmth. It didn't really work, well the warmth part that is. I feel that these exercises give you time to see and understand things going on in your head. In turn that will help you be able to clear your mind and will help you see what it is that you truly believe and feel how you want to feel towards it. I can use this in my life because during my daily work tasks I found my mind drifting from thought to thought. I can exercise my brain by trying to keep a clear mind as best I can. Or I can try and focus my mind on one thought. As I do it more the quicker it will become part of my daily life and soon it will be a thing of the past.

  1. HI Shay,
    It is a good feeling to find a meditation that works for you. This one was better for me than the loving-kindness. Sounds odd that loving-kindness wasn't the one to choose, but I think it is because the subtle is easier to do; it is more matter of fact. The subtle mind practice is one that can be done anywhere, anytime and with as little as 5 minutes to get a benefit. Every time I can channel my thoughts, is a good day.

  2. Shay,

    I enjoyed this exercise this week also. It was easier for me than last weeks assignment. I agree with Deb C that it was easier to get into.
