Describe your experience. (Did you find it beneficial? Difficult?) Why or Why not? Would you recommend this to others? Why or Why not?
As much as I would like to say that this really worked, that I was able to to reach my Loving Kindness, I have to say it was not beneficial for me, and I say this only because I find myself distracted, after reading pg 66 and even listening to the CD I could not stop thinking of the 100 things on my mind, its like my mind was racing a mile a minute and it wouldnt slow down for me for nothing.
I would recommend this to others because I know that it works for most people. Most people are able to block out outside distractions, I guess mine will come with more mental training.
What is the concept of “Mental Workout? What does the research indicate are the proven benefits of a Mental Work Out? How can you implement mental workouts to foster your psychological health?
The concept of Mental workout is contemplative practice, which is having the diligence required to make the initial investment and know that as time progresses you wont want to get up from your practice and moving into your day to day life. We cultivate wisdom by taming and training our mind, accessing its deeper levels and exploring the essential nature of mind and experience. We learn to get rid of all the mental movements of thoughts, feelings and images. If we practice regularly according to Dacher we will be able to still the mind and develop a witnessing conciousness that subsequently progresses toward the stable and facile mind of calm-abiding.
