I found the exercise very helpful. It is amazing to me how unaware of myself I can be. It allowed me to reflect on how I treat others and my perception of them. For instance, during the exercise, I visualize certain individuals that I don't really get along with. I was able to actually feel empathy and loving-kindness towards them. It's really powerful! I understand how the mental workout aspect will continue to benefit me in carrying that subtle, peaceful state of mind.
Also, the research associated with contemplative practice substantiates the fact that our brains are very plastic. Meaning, we can rewire it to benefit us in every aspect of our lives. So, participating in a mental workout routine will allow us to further our integral growth.
