The difference between the Loving Kindness exercise and the Subtle mind exercise for me seemed to be the breath, and it seemed easier for me to focus using the breath. The subtle mind exercise was a bit more difficult for me at first because my mind kept wondering, but once I noticed them and returned to the breath it became easier.

I can see how spiritual wellness benefits physical wellness simply by using the breath to calm down and focus on reality and the now can do many things for my well being from lowering blood pressure to helping inner personal relationships.
