Two exercises
The two exercises that i would pick would be subtle mind and loving kindness. These two have helped me out a lot. I am aware of my thoughts now, and am able to calm them down. Loving kindness has helped me to become a nicer person. I want people to have a nice day and have a nice life. When i find myself thinking negative thoughts about someone, I try to change that thought and practice loving kindness to them. This puts my mind in a better state. This is something that I would want my patients to practice. Because having a calm mind and love toward others will help their mental state.

Hi Tiffany,
ReplyDeleteI am really glad that these two techniques have helped you in your life. Not having negative thoughts against another person and practicing the loving kindness technique seems to be bringing you peace. I hope this continues throughout your practice.
The one aspect of loving-kindness that I would like to teach my clients is to use this practice on themselves as well as others. Practicing love & kindness toward one's self can only lead to being kind and loving others.
