Unit 4 Assignment
Loving - Kindness Audio
- Describe your experience. Did you find it beneficial? Difficult? Why or why not?
My experience after listening to the loving-kindness audio was good and
needed after traveling to Tennessee to our farm on an emergency trip due to
tenants giving one day notice that they were leaving early, finding the house a
mess, missing items, and trash people leave behind. It is hard to find loving
kindness in my heart. It would not be so heart breaking but we just finished in
a law suit by our previous tenant who did major damage just to find a mess
again. I guess the saddest thing is that people tell you something totally
different than what they do. We were told that the place was left just as they
found when they arrived from Wyoming (we had it professional cleaned prior to
their arrival). They gave us six months’ notice as required by our lease
agreement and we offered if we could find someone either to buy or lease to
they could be on their way to Alaska where the he works and worked prior to
moving here. They were glad to show the property but this is not what they
decided to do…So with all of this going on and taking 18 hours this semester, I
did find it difficult to listen as mind jumped from one place to another but
reading the information from Dacher’s Integral Health I was able to get more
out of it. I guess now is the perfect time to begin this mind training, right!
I did enjoy to ocean sounds in the audio…very soothing!

Would
you recommend this to others? Why or why not?
Yes I would
recommend to others, due to the fact that loving-kindness would include sharing
with others in my opinion.

Mental workout is brain exercise to help expand and develop a compassionate
mental state of consciousness. Research shows “mental training can transform
the mind by reducing disturbing emotions that cause anger, hatred, fear, worry,
confusion and doubt while enhancing positive emotions” promotes well-being
