The meditative practice for this week was meeting asciepius. This practice had you focus on a person that is wise and you respect a healer. first you focus on them than on kind wisdom speech and a kind heart at the end of the meditation you turn yourself into the wise healer and focus on yourself. This exercise was very relaxing i did get distracted with thoughts several times but was able to refocus i still have quite a bit of mental chattering going on. These practices i can continue to use in life as a stress reducer they calm me greatly.
the saying "One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself" Applies to health and wellness in the spiritual sense if you are not spiritually mature how can you show or lead someone else to spiritual maturity that is why it is important to practice spiritual wellness to help others attain this goal to be physically, spiritually and mentally healthy.
I think you did a great job with answering the questions. I agree that if you aren't spiritually and mentally mature and have the knowledge to lead someone then you simply shouldn't do that. We cant lead until we have trained ourselves to do be a leader. It is possible but we have to accomplish it first. I understand also that life can be distracting trying to listen to the exercises. But we just have to block it out or just go back to focusing. My mom is usually the one who interrupts me. She asked me if i was praying when i was doing the exercise so i had to stop it tell her what i was doing then start again. Then she interrupted me again. One day maybe i will get peace and quiet but then that wouldn't be life would it. :P Cristina Holcomb
