Subtle mind vs Loving Kindness

Both of these exercises involve deep breathing meditation techniques designed to calm the mind and to reduce stress. The Subtle Mind exercise focuses primarily on yourself, while Loving Kindness focuses on feeling empathy and compassion. I feel that both are necessary for the success of this journey. Admittedly, it took me a bit to attune myself for the Loving Kindness exercise, but I am glad that I did. I am calmer now, with a better sense of self and how to deal with the life experience around me. I feel better and more confident. The suffocation has subsided. I can think a bit easier now. It is important to establish a healthy mind and body connection because they go hand-in-hand. when you feel good physically, you feel good mentally, and vice versa. Practice these two techniques often, for the rewards are certainly beneficial. Namaste' and Hailsa!

  1. Well said your blog is real and to the point no "fluff". You identified the comparisons and the differences. I appreciate your ability to activate these exercises into your personal life and see the benefit . I personally have not been able to experience the real benefit because my mind has not been quite enough to focus solely on the routine.
