Week 7 Meeting Aesclepius

       As always I enjoyed the meditation exercise. However, this time it was a much deeper experience for me. The wise and loving person who I respect and honor and know that we have a special connection is my grandmother. She passed away many years ago, but I still remember her and the times we had like it was yesterday. She is the one who introduced me to her God to begin with. We had a very spiritual connection through this meditation practice. It seemed that I was in touch with several of my ancestors.

     Meditation has fostered an increase in my psychological and spiritual wellness by simply assisting in quieting my mind. When the mind is quiet the body will follow and this allows one to hear from their spirit more clearly. This was the most powerful meditation experience I have had and I’m looking forward to continuing these sessions.

"One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself"

      This applies to the health and wellness professional in that if you have not experienced a thing for yourself, whether it is your own personal experience or from studying and research to where you have an understanding of what it is all about then there is no way you can properly teach another about that thing.

      I believe we do have an obligation to our clients to be developing our health psychologically, physically, and spiritually. These people put their lives in our hands, they trust us and they look up to us. So, I think we should at least let them see that we know what we are talking about by being an example before them. I don’t believe in practicing what you preach, but I do believe in preaching what you have already practiced and what you know works.

      Prayer and meditation is a great way to implement psychological and spiritual growth in your personal life.
