Unit 8

After reviewing the exercises and practice sessions we have completed in this course, I find that the only one that I found to be at all useful was in unit 3; The Crime of the Century. This was the only practice in which I could actually feel like I accomplished anything. I did manage to block everything out that was going on around me with this exercise, and I found the phrases he had me repeat to be somewhat helpful. However, I truly feel that I will be at my best if I just practice meditating on keeping my mind witnessing and calm-abiding. I am going to start setting aside a few minutes each day to do this.
