Wow, meditating can be soooo good for you and to you. I did the exercise where I focused on the breath, and I chose the rise and fall of the chest, and it was not all that easy. These exercises are truly beneficial to me because my mind can race a million miles per minute sometimes. I found myself having to bring myself back to focus quite a few times; however, at one time I did get to a point where if a thought crept in, I easily dismissed it. I got a little frustrated though because I had to keep bringing myself back to focus, although it became easier. In comparison to the practice in loving-kindness, I think that this one may need to be the prelude to that one. I think I will really make a practice of this one because I hardly ever rest and my mind is always going.
You know, I mentioned to someone earlier in this term that my spiritual wellness seemed to be more positive than my physical or even mental wellness. I think that some of these practices have started to bring me to a closer or central point. I know that if I can integrate them, I may not have to use the phrase "fighting diabetes" as much. Since taking this class, when I monitor lately, I am much more please with my numbers (if you know what I mean).
