Meeting Aesclepius
Since the beginning of this class I have been trying to incorporate some meditating on my own and using the exercises we have in doc sharing for class. I am still very new to this and having a hard time connecting to my inner self, like these exercises we have for this class. I think some more time practicing will help me really connect with these exercises. This practices can benefit my health and wellness by helping me relieve stress, relax from the day/week, connect with my inner self and improve my psychospiritual side. The saying one cannot lead another where one has not gone himself means that someone like me that is new to meditation cannot coach someone on it because I don't know everything about it, know what they will need to expect, etc. A health professional needs to be current on all the health and wellness practices to coach their clients on. They need to be a product of their product, but in their line of work areas.

Nick, I am glad that you are keeping a positive attitude towards mediation. I always try to remember the saying that practice makes perfect. I agree that I practitioner should practice what he/she is using as a treatment. I also believe that they should be open to a client that doesn’t feel comfortable with those practices and be open minded to other modalities.
ReplyDeleteHi Nick,
ReplyDeleteI think that's great that you are trying to meditate on a regular basis. I'm also a novice when it comes to meditation. It is really hard to concentrate at first with some of the exercises, and I find that I have to do a lot of them over and over again. It's all about the effort though!

Hello Nick, I am also trying to practice meditation on my own. I usually do some whenever I feel like I need downtime. How often do you think you are meditating? How many minutes do you meditate for at a time? I think I also need more time to practice and get more in touch with my spirituality. You explained the saying very well also. Good job!

Hello!
ReplyDeleteI was really struggling with this "organized" meditation as well, the ones the class requires. I found it difficult and frustrating, although, it is getting a lot better I still have to find alternate ways to calm my mind or wind down. I still go hiking and nature walks as well as sewing. I know how can sewing be a form of meditation. I really don't know the answer to this, all I know that it calms me to the core and allows me to release any negative energy.
