Asclepius is a wise healer that lives in each of us, our inner healer. The idea is great as I can see thinking of someone who is wise and realizing all the qualities that I admire in them I can have within myself. I did find it hard to picture the beams of lights coming from them and becoming them. I don't want to become someone else just a better version of me. I like mindfulness and meditation and they can both better help me realize the wise qualities in myself. Mindfulness and meditation can help me slow down and take stock of where I am and different ways to improve. It can help me reduce stress and act with intent. I can continue meditating twice a day.
The statement "one cannot lead another where one has not gone himself" means it is hard to teach anything that we ourselves have not mastered. This is very valuable in the health and wellness field as so many people rely on traditional medicine and in order to have them practice integral health it is important that we practice this ourselves in order to be credible. We owe it. Ot only to our clients but to ourselves to be developed in every area. We can implement psychological and spiritual growth by making it a part of our everyday lives.

Leslie,
ReplyDeleteI think that you hit the nail on the head with the quote. A person would have a hard time teaching or talking about something that may have no experiences first hand. It would be hard to teach someone else of integral health and healing if we have not done it ourselves.

Leslie,
ReplyDeleteIf this is the path you go down, even just personally you will be a great teacher and very ale to influence people. You have a great way with the concepts we are learning in class and I think it is great that you plan to continue practice twice daily. Finding the wise healer in ourselves will from now on help us with our practice immensely. Keep up the good work!(:
