After completing the Meeting Aesclepius I found it kind of hard to picture someone with light coming our of them but once I thought about an imaginative figure it was so much easier to get into. As for my meditative practices for the week I am finding it very easy to get lost in thought and fall asleep but I awaken so much more energized. Meditation has fostered an increase in my psychological wellness in the fact that I am much more at peace with myself and I do not let the everyday stress get me down. I will continue to practice for greater health and wellness in the fact that I will meditate every night and possibly do it every morning as well to be more aware of the goings on.
The saying "One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself" is very true in the way that if you have not been somewhere you cannot lead someone else to it. This applies in health and wellness profession in the fact if you have never been or done something how can you help others in that cause. I do have an obligation to the clients in developing my health psychologically, physically, and spiritually in the since that I work for a company that was grown on the spiritual knowledge of sisters and priests. I am implementing psychological and spiritual growth in my personal life by allowing myself time to think and be at peace to calm down.
Hi Jacquelyn,
ReplyDeleteI think some people have a natural ability to understand and empathize with others. For example I have a niece who can feel for others and is a great listener. Then I have another niece who has trouble connecting with another person's pain. Have you ever noticed that many people who go into fields like child protection and police work have had rough childhoods? Because of their experience some are good at what they do and some are not. The experience does not alway help, sometimes it is a hinderance.

Hi Jacquelyn,
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with your statement, I strongly believe that it is true, that you if have not experienced what a person is going through that you can not understand how they feel unless you have been in their shoes, Yes everyone can give advise, but you can not really understand how they feel deep inside,
Hi Jacquelyn,
ReplyDeleteGood post. Personally, I found this exercise difficult as well. I had trouble trying to visually picture a figure in my head and holding it there. I think I need more practice at these visualization techniques, but I do find them beneficial. I think it is important to be able to use these techniques to enable to have a strong psychological mind and strong spirit.
