Unit 4 Loving-kindness
Okay, this week we had to learn about loving-kindness. I did the exercise and I found it calming....as i assumed it would be. I like how the last part was about focusing on those I particularly do not care for. I thinkg they gave me more time for this knowing that it would be as easy sending out those warm fuzzy feeling towards my least favority people. I've always said, "Hate is a strong word and it takes a lot of energy to hate someone." You have to keep reminding yourself why you distain that person. I think this exercise will help me release those negative feelings. I would do this exercise again. Thoughts?

I always felt like you should never hate anyone either because of how strong of a word it is. But we come to learn through this exercise that in the end it does seem to get easier to have what I feel is compassion towards those people you do not like much. How do you think you can incorporate this exercise into your daily activity? Do you find that it is easier to do these exercises at night, first thing in the morning, or randomly throughout the day?
