Meeting Aesclepius

I enjoyed this exercise.  It starts off by saying how in the beginning your mind is like a waterfall with loud, rushing water and then becomes a stream, then a lazy river, and finally a river that leads to the ocean.  Visualization is used to access our inner healer (our subtle mind).  During this exercise we were to picture a person of influence in our lives and visualize a beam of light connecting their head, throat, and heart with ours.  The exercise left me feeling calm, confident, and kind.  Meditation has helped my psychological wellness because it has helped me to become more calm and focused.  I will continue to meditate on a daily basis.

 "One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself” This means that as a health and wellness professional it is important that we practice what we preach.  We need to have experience with all of the techniques that we are recommending to our clients.  I implement psychological and spiritual growth in my personal life through visualization, meditation, and yoga.
