My experience during this exercise was very moving. At first I found it difficult to get into the zone, but as my thoughts became at ease, so did my mind and my spirit began to give way. I found myself repeating, "I take in your suffering and as it dissolves in my heart, I give you health, happiness and wholeness." This was a very beneficial exercise for me because I felt through this exercise, I was truly able to let go. I would recommend this exercise to others because I feel it is a great exercise in Integral healing. The concept of a mental workout is the practice in which you first take control of the mind, just to let it go and let all be, within and without. Proven benefits of a mental workout are the ability to train the mind as well as accept the world as it is, knowing that once you find peace within, harmony will find you. Awhile I go I found this urge to write on my wall, "Respect the Earth, Respect Yourself. Find peace within and harmony will find you". I feel that I have become connected to myself again through this exercise of letting go and taking in the hurt of all those around you. When it asked me to picture someone's hurting, and to take it in and dissolve it within my heart, I pictured my dad. This is because on Dec. 30 it will be two years since my older brother committed suicide, which was very unexpected. I always feel weird saying this because I feel that it a sort of weakness or something, I don't know. But through this exercise I felt myself taking in the hurt of my dad, dissolving it in my heart, and sending him genuine health, happiness and wholeness. I hope it works :)
