It is not simply a matter of choosing between two exercises: a combination of the Loving Kindness AND the Subtle Mind (as a combined unit) and then the exercise with the Asciepius meditation. The Loving Kindness exercise focused on the physical body and the people that we interact with, the Subtle Mind works to bring one into that quiet and sacred area. The Asciepius meditation created for me a mental image of my mentor and protector– someone who will stay with me while I am in that sacred space, serving to both protect and guide me as I journey through that space.
For myself, I use both meditation and visualization as part of daily exercises to help keep pain from spinal arthritis under control and managed (usually) without medications. The Loving Kindness and Subtle Mind as well as the Asciepius meditation helps me in bringing the pain down to a managable level so that I don't have to take as much medication and frequently don't have to take any at all for pain control.
