Ok folks, all I can say is wow!!! to the loving kindness practice. At first, I was just going along with the ladies voice and trying to listen to her, but once the brainwaves started to even out then it was this nice flow of peace and love that took over. I think the ocean waves did it for me, because I was able to vividly see the images of the people I was using to bring in loving kindness. For me, the exercise works and I will be implementing it because it feels good and opens up the heart center.
The latest research underscores the importance of staying mentally engaged — not just by doing crossword puzzles but by challenging yourself to learn a new language, read a book you've never read before or take up a new hobby. "The brain loves novelty, it loves a challenge," says Laura L. Carstensen, Ph.D., director of Stanford University's Center on Longevity (M.D. Rosen. Sharpen Your Mind with These Mental Workouts.). In my own time the game on my phone that has been sharpening the mind is "Jumbline", where letters and scrambled and you have to make words out of them to move on to the next round...super fun!!!
