Unit 6 Exercise and Assessment Process

The universal loving kindness exercise was difficult. However, it was only difficult because I had to close my eyes and recite the four sentences. Since I couldn't memorize all four sentences that quickly, I didn't necessarily get to benefit from keeping my eyes closed and focused. Unfortunately, when I chose to complete this exercise I didn't have anyone else home with me at the time who could read them to me. However, what I could do of the exercise was still beneficial. It made me feel like the purpose of them was to release any judgement I may have on those around me, and wishing them good will and good health.

The assessment was interesting for me because I discovered something about myself that I didn't truly understand before. I realized the biological aspect of my life is my weakest. I believe the most essential line of development for me at this time is psychospiritual. I don't fully understand all levels of development so it is hard for me to assess my current level and what I am aiming for. I believe this will take me several weeks to assess, as our reading states is most likely applicable.

The exercises that I can implement to foster growth would be meditation and breathing. I think meditation would help me connect biologically, as well as the breathing techniques. Is this as difficult for anyone else to figure out as it is for me?
