Post 2 in unit 4

The concept of the mental workout is utilizing this workout to transform the mind by reducing disturbing emotions that cause anger, hatred, fear, worry, confusion and doubt to arise while enhancing positive emotions such as patience, loving kindness, openness, acceptance and happiness.
It provides enhanced resistance to mental distress and physical disease and promotes well being. Also the most meaningful aim is NOT to rest or relax but to progressively develop an expanded consciousness (unity consciousness) and its healing capacities.
Well being requires a diminished focus on oneself and an enhanced concern and compassion for others.
When we tame the mind through perseverence and continued practice (establishing new and healthful habits) we will be able to still the mind and develop a witnessing consciousness and then evolve to calm abiding which then evolves naturally over time into unity consciousness.
