This weeks exercise was so wonderful. Not only did I look within myself, but obsorbing the negativity from family, friends and others in my life, then projecting love and kindness out to them was enlightening. You really can have an affect on others. Making the choice of letting go and bringing in goodness is rewarding. I found myself smiling and chuckling when I would see certain people's faces. It's amazing who your subconscience reaches out to. When I first heard the instruction of taking in others negativity, I was hesitant, but I let go and did it. It was NOT a negative action or reaction. I found this exercise to be powerful, cleansing, and loving. I would highly recommend it to others.
Mental workout is a wonderful concept. Purposely working my mind to do things it has never done is an awakening. I am finding myself stopping in different situations and letting go by using my breathing and imagery. For the past few days, this has helped me handle different issues. I find that I am taking time for myself, and I am not letting certains things affect me negatively. I have also walked away from different conflicts. By handling this differently from the way I used to....is revolutionary for me.
Good luck with your new meditation exercises! I know it can be very difficult to start new patterns especially when you are so used to giving all your time and effort to others.
