Unit 8

The loving kindness exercise by far was the main one that actually seemed to do anything for me though the visualization one at least was fairly peaceful.  I actually got some benefit from the loving kindness exercise when I was in fairly bad pain because it helped to divert my focus some and allowed me at least a short reprieve from the pain.  I think actually using that practice if I end up eating contaminated food might actually help me deal with some of the pain and other nasty side effects because it will help me relax and focus a bit less on the pain.  In the long run having greater control and focus could help me possibly go without needing to harsh of pain medication which would be better on my body.  The visualization technique would be at least beneficial in relaxing and again that can help me with some of my pain as well.
