Reviewing Meditation Practices

After practiceing all of the exercises for meditation, even the ones I did not like as much I found that my two favorite were the Loving Kindness practice and the visualization meditation.  Loving kindeness took me a little while to settle into but once I did I began to understand that I could change my perception of the dynamic surroundings and relationshiops in my daily life. I could understand how to cope without anger and stress.The loving kindness exercise will allow me to learn patience not just with close relationships and interactions I have with others but my self as well. I can learn how to be patient with the expectations I have for myself. At times I can be very hard on myself and this often increases stress and anxiety.  The visualization meditation practice was my favorite and it brought me incredible peace and calmness. My mind did not wonder as much as it did during the other practices and I was extremely focused. Even for hours after the exercise I remained mellow and my mind still. i think that  visualization meditation will become a daily practice and be a huge part of my journey to integral health. This exercise will help me to maintain a daly sense of true happiness. It will remind me of the things in my life that make my soul happy and to forget about the things that have no true substance in my life.
