Love and Kindness and meditation exercises were two favorite exercises this semester.  I feel they were both beneficial to me because they make my mind focus on the instructions. I listen to the instructions and let my mind and body go into relaxation mode.  I have done these on a weekly basis and have also incorporated them into my workout routine.  I have seen improvement on my running and I’m not sure if this is because of this exercise, although it is possible. I am able to release my feelings of frustration and stress from my day and unwind to the meditation practices and guidance. 

Over time, I believe these practices will increase my relaxation and provide me with a sense of inner calm.  I plan to incorporate other exercises by research and hope that these will become part of my routine. 

I have learned a lot about myself during this course and am thankful for the knowledge I have gained from my inner self.
