Unit 7 Exercise

1. Complete the "Meeting Asciepius" exercise on track #4 of the Dacher CD. Describe your meditative practice(s) for the week and discuss the experience. Explain how mindfulness or meditation has fostered an increase in your psychological or spiritual wellness. How can you continue to apply these practices in your life to foster greater health and wellness? When I first started this class and doing the Loving Kindness Meditation I had the hardest time getting my busy mind to stillness but the  more I listen to the cd and got myself into quietness I began to do this daily and the more I practice the more I began to see a huge difference. I feel so blessed with just life itself and having that kindness in my heart to put others before myself. I will continued on to much improvement for a better life of wellness.

2. Describe the saying: "One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself� (P.477) How does this apply to the health and wellness professional? Do you have an obligation to your clients to be developing your health psychologically, physically, and spiritually? Why or why not? How can you implement psychological and spiritual growth in your personal life? I can't tell somebody about something that I never been myself and I would not give somebody any advice about something I know nothing about. I feel if I've been there and done it then I will share it. I do have an obligation to my clients to develop my health psychologically physically and spiritually to better myself will benefit them into growing in areas that are well needed.
