What Meditation Methods I Like Best

I think Loving-Kindness has probably been my favorite exercise I've learned through this class mainly because once I was actually able to focus, it came the most easy to me.  Like I said previously, I already try to wish the best for others and just in general feel a strong sense of love almost all the time so it was easy for me to follow the directions of the exercise.  I think my other favorite method is probably visualization.  I'm pretty artistic and imaginative so I think this may be why I like using visualization.  When I'm directed to "picture such-and-such" it usually doesn't take too much effort to do so which makes it more beneficial for me.  I think using visualization when I'm feeling stressed out would help to bring me back to a relaxed state and just scheduling the Loving-Kindness exercise in at least once a week could help to promote my mental fitness to a higher level.

    I also am a fan of visualization. I find it very useful, and do it often. Being artistic and visual definitely helps in this process. So, I could understand why it is one of your favorites.
