Aesclepius

Hi

This meditation is wonderful. At first I had a hard time quieting my mind so I could relax enough to follow along. The holidays are very busy for most of us and I don’t think I have come down yet. Anyway back to the meditation. Finally after a few moments I was able to relax and get into the meditation and I really felt the full presents of the healer in front of me. When the meditation was finished I sat for moment thinking about what had just happened and I can to fully realize that we all do have Aesclepius within us and we can access this presents whenever we chose. The meditation left me feeling a sense of power, love, and gratitude for all that I have experienced in my life, be it good or bad. When we realize that we are in charge of how we think than anything is possible. 

We cannot teach others how to have happiness, wholeness, and health if we have not learned how to reach it ourselves. It is through our personal experiences that we can teach someone else how to. I do believe that if we are going to help others heal than we need to learn how to heal ourselves. As a professional in the healing field of integral health it is important to know through our own experience how to help others reach a place of happiness, wholeness, and health. If we cannot reach it ourselves than how can we teach someone else too? We can wake up each day with the intention to be happy, healthy, and spiritual. By doing so we are willing to take the steps necessary to live a happy, healthy and spiritual life. 

Love, Light, and Blessings to All

Growth and Development

Hi

This exercise was not as easy for me as the others because when I have to read the meditation I am not able to connect as well as if I were listening to it. Anyway I did the best I could do so what I learned is that I need to work more on nutrition and community although all areas can use some sort of improvement. These were the two that really grabbed my attention.  Nutrition is an area that really calls out to me. I work so much on all the other areas and my eating habits are not as good as the others areas of my life. I do eat healthy most of the time but I eat way to much sugar knowing that it is making me feel bad mentally and physically. It is funny that after I did this assessment I knew that I have to address the nutrition more seriously because I have been telling myself for a while that I need to change my eating habits (sugar). Community is another area because I would like to reach out more to the community than I do. I feel this will help me to grow more as well as helping others.  

To assist me more in these areas I can me more mindful of what I feel like when I am craving the sugar and eat a piece of fruit instead of chocolate. I think that becoming more mindful will really help me in changing this. As far as community I can volunteer to help out in our community. This is a good way to learn about the needs of our community. If any of you have more suggestions I would love to hear from you.

Subtle Mind

After doing the subtle mind meditation I have to say that it is far more advanced than the other meditations. At first I found my mind wanting to think on other things besides the breathing. So I just kept my focus on breathing until I was able to calm my mind. Once I reached the calming state I was actually able to follow the instructions on letting my thoughts go and experience the witnessing. I have to say that this is truly an experience I liked. When I reached the point that I could just watch my thoughts instead of being the thought, it became very calming. I surprised myself because I really was not sure if I could be the watcher instead of the actor. I liked the challenge of this meditation and look forward to advancing further.

Spiritual wellness is what gives us the ability to have mental and physical wellness.  I realize that as we connect mentally, psychically and spiritual we see a whole new realm of inner peace. Without spiritual wellness we are too caught up in our thoughts that we cannot make a connection. Once we quite our mind we can make the connection between our mental and physical state of being. This in turn brings us to the place in which we are striving to be, happy, peaceful, calm and whole.  This is just my thoughts! See you on the blog.

Love, Light and Blessings
