The difference between these two exercises are the loving kindness one focuses on your feelings towards your loved ones and implementing loving kindness to them and back to yourself. The Subtle Mind exercise focuses on your breathing and clearing the mind. I have difficulty with both of these. The loving kindness exercise makes me really emotional. I am going through a rough week and am an emotional roller coaster as it is plus dealing with supressed emotions that the exercise makes me think of makes me a train wreck. I have to literally stop the exercise and regain my composure and restart it. The subtle mind exercise is just difficult because I have sooo much mental chatter going on that I can never clear my head! it is going to take me quite awhile to get to that point I feel. I have so many supressed emotions from even my childhood that it'll take awhile to get through everything. But I am positive that if I keep doing these exercises that I will eventually find a peace of mind! They are helpful and they do work which is amazing.
The connection of spiritual, physical, and mental wellness is they all work together. You cannot have one without the other!
