I found the loving kindness exercise to be much more beneficial to me. It was much easier for me to get started with it because so much of it asked me to think about other people; I find it very difficult to focus on my breathing. The loving kindness exercise felt more like prayer to me. I felt the subtle mind exercise had too much down time; I am not yet at that place where I can keep my mind from wandering. It seemed that what focus I was able to get was gone with so much silence.
There is such a strong connection between spiritual wellness and mental and physical wellness. I believe that when you nurture and strengthen your spiritual mind it eases the tensions and pain you feel physically. So often, our bodies manifest symptoms because of all the strain we feel because of unresolved issues plaguing our mind and dragging down our spirit.
