Loving Kindness

Ok I just completed this exercise and I really can not tell any difference. The voice of the speaker was very soothing but not as soothing as the professor's voice I might add. I was a little tense and the exercise did help me to relax a bit and my brain was no longer running 90 to nothing with thousands of things that need to be done. I would recommend this to a friend that I new was stressed out because it does help. The sounds of the waves in the backgroud puts you into a better, nicer, I wish I was there place.
What is the concept of mental workout. I think the concept of mental workout out is allowing your mind to relax. It relieves stress and mental anguish. Your mental states drastically affects your emotional and physical state. If you think about something that upsets you then the emotion that you will give off is anger. And by doing so the person that your anger is toward, they in turn will give that same emotion right back to you. If you give love and kindness then you will recieve love and kindness. These are emotions that you can control by mental workouts.
