While I believe in the concepts of loving kindness and agree completely with the concept, I think that we are limiting the possibilities of the topic by associating it with a god or religion. There is much more to spirituality then a belief in a higher power. And I think that the exercise and CD is leading a participate to have to focus on an outside source rather then looking at aspects of ones everyday life that can be used as inspiration. I think that this a poor song choice as it takes away from the my ability to focus on the exercise. I can barely even hear the women guiding me through the exercise.
A mental work out is an exercise the one does to focus their energies on themselves. To develop a connection with their inner mind, working through the various stages of the psychospiritual flourishing stages.
Some of my classmates talk about their connection to religion and the association of this concept with that. But I am glad to see that I am not the only one that was turned off by the CD.
