Another attempt at the Loving Kindness meditation worked as well as the first attempt. I have no problem reaching a relaxed state and stilling my mind to the point I feel a sense of peace. Expanding my heart and mind to include others feels natural, but it seems though that when it comes to changing my frame of focus and in this instance verbalizing the phrases it actually has the opposite effect. I lose my focus and have difficulty bringing it back.
The assessment was a bit of a puzzle for me. I think that because there is so much going on in my life right now, it is difficult for me to select a particular area to focus on. I am able to see a need for development in all four areas, Psychospiritual, Biological, Interpersonal and Worldly.
The most beneficial exercise for me right now would probably be the Calm Abiding Meditation. I feel the need for quiet and stillness physically and mentally. I need to relax and re-energize before I do anything else.
