Unit 7


Complete the Meeting Aesclepius mp3 (located in the Doc Sharing area). Describe your meditative practices for the week and discuss the experience. Explain how mindfulness or meditation has fostered an increase in your psychological or spiritual wellness. How can you continue to apply these practices in your life to foster greater health and wellness?

When the exercise said to focus on a person, my Dad was right there.  Of course he is always there even though he died 2 years ago.  He has always been my guide.  While taking in the light, there did seem to be some sort of surge.  Not sure how to explain the surge but it was there and it was comforting.  Once again one it was over, I did seem more relaxed.  It is weird how a few moments of meditation, yoga, etc. will relax the body and mind.  That is when it seems like life is going to get hard I just relax and think happy thoughts.

 
Describe the saying: "One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself" (p.477). How does this apply to the health and wellness professional? Do you have an obligation to your clients to be developing your health psychologically, physically, and spiritually? Why or why not? How can you implement psychological and spiritual growth in your personal life?

I’m a true believer that a person must lead by example.  How can a person teach what they do not know?  This is way a person must always be growing.  There is never enough knowledge.  A leader will always find new ways and explore new possibilities.
