unit 8 blog post

The first practice would be loving kind-ness. I truley feel that when I learned this exercise I was able to look at things with a whole new perspective. Lately I have been feeling down in the dumps because I have been learning new things about myself. I am getting more in touch with how I think and act and what works best. I also have been learning from others how they see me. I feel like I don't even know myself anymore. This does make me sad. I think I just need to find myself and move forward. When i learn to forgive my enemies and learn to love them as well as myself I will be able to love life.

Im not sure if meditation is for me right now, but reading about it lately has gotten me curious as how it could help me with my problems. I think if I can get in touch with my inner self I could learn how to love myself and accept myself and how I am. Society teaches people to depend on a lit up screen and people dont even talk to one another any more since email and text messaging has been around. Its harder to develope a trust and relationship with anyone. This brings me to want to try meditation more and more so I can get in touch with myself first. Then I can work  on how I can talk to others.

    I used to think that meditation was for 'weird' people. Until this course, I would laugh if I saw anyone attempting it. Now I don't know how I made it through life this far without it. It has helped me tremendously in the last 8 weeks, and I believe it can do the same for you. I also believe that through meditation you can become more in touch and in tune with yourself, your needs, your feelings, your desires, etc. Then you can get a good idea of where it is in life that you want to go. Don't let any person tell you that you can't. We all have the power to be whatever it is that we want to be. Once you can really believe and understand that, you will take off like a rocket!
