So I was finally able to listen to the exercise and did not enjoy it. I have difficulty listening to these kinds of tapes for a number of reasons which I wont go into here but when required to listen to them I always end up stressed and irritated and the desired effect is lost. I would much rather listen to some beautiful classical music which I find much more inspiring and relaxing.
As for "mental training" (not a term I like), I have found the most effective way for me to practice l"loving kindness" as Dr. Dacher says or "gratitude" as is my own practice is to send blessings and gratitude to who or what has caused me to fall into the lower energies. It is a simple choice that I have made to stay in the positive energy flow as much as possible. As with any "training" program, there has to be a commitment by the participants.
So blessings to you Dr. Dacher, I am grateful for the experience of your loving kindness experience.
Hi Heidi,
ReplyDeleteI believe that I can understand how you feel about listening to different kinds of tapes and cd's. When I was younger, I was closed off to any suggestions that I thought was trying to control me. I hated the thought and I forbid doing what was suggested. Now, at the age of 39, I realized that in order to participate fully, I would have to be open to receiving the message and if I could not, then it would not work for me. Sometimes, it works that way and then at other times, it does not. I enjoyed your post.
