Hi All
My meditation for this week is so calming. I had to envision someone whom I respect, and I picked my mother. She has been gone for almost 19 years and when I did the exercise, it felt like she was sitting right infront of me. I could see her smile and her eyes and hair moving in the breeze. It was a wonderful moment. It calmed and centered me. Many times I have called on her to support and help me, by doing it this way, it will help to calm my mind, body and spirit, instead of reaching for something and not knowing what to do with it.
"One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself", means that you cannot advise someone on anything unless you have done it yourself. A health and wellness professional cannot help others unless they have followed their own advice. A person needs to walk the road before they can send someone else upon the journey. For me, I know I need to follow a healthy lifestyle along with a spiritual one. I cannot help clients unless I have helped myself first. I will continue to meditate to assist my psychological and spiritual growth.
Hi Pam, what could be better than to focus on a mother whom we hold dear and near to our heart. I'm sorry for the loss of your mother. I practiced the meditation during a very trying time this past week. My daughter is ill and I had a difficulty time at first. After regrouping, I got my computer, plugged in the earphones, sat near a lake with a geyser shooting streams of water hundreds of feet in the air. It was an amazing scenery and helped me to channeled my inner spirit to a more calmed and relaxed environment.
ReplyDeleteI think as a health professional, we should acquire all necessary training and knowledge so that we would be equipped to provide our clients with a more holistic approach towards healing the whole body, mind, and spirit.
