Personally I gained the most out of the loving-kindess and the Asciepius exercises. Looking at the blogs of my classmates, it seems as thought I am not alone in this assessment. The loving-kindness exercise helped me open my heart to others and to not be so self centered. The Asciepius exercise put me in touch with my inner Healer, with whom I suspected was lurking around in there somewhere but I was never really able to connect with.
By continuing to include both of these exercises with my physical workout as part of my "total" workout each week I should theoretically be able to maintain- of course we all know that life happens and sometimes it happens a lot faster and more chaotic than other times. That's part of what I love about all of the exercises that we've tried so far. You don't have to get it perfect the first time, or even the second or third time. You have time, you have the capacity to learn and experience what feels right and works for you, it's not a case of "oh you're doing it all wrong".
So for now, I will continue to put one foot in front of the other, try to fill my heart with love and compassion for others while following my own inner healer and I will remember that I am human just like everyone else, but that being human also makes me unique.

Jen - I chose those very same two as well. You've commented very nicely on why these were beneficial to you and your favorite. Last week's exercise definitely opened up the "inner me" as well, but the loving kindness exercise opens you up to those around you.
