Hello all,
This experience was different in that we had to chose a specific person and follow directions. The person I chose was perfect for the 5 phases and modeling the qualities given. She is an older woman who is quite mellow and has defined qualities in all the areas of meditation. She is a person I consider my surrogate mother because my mother passed 5 years ago. My person is a retired Pastor, full of godly wisdom and sound advice. She was there immediately and continues to be in my life.
I did experience different feelings throughout the entire practice and got chills when it got to #5 heart to heart. This is an area that I want to be very genuine in so that people feel the kindness, love and compassion that I want to share. Mindfulness and meditation have rendered increase in my psychological and spiritual wellness. I am feeling more connected and am taking time to focus on areas to generate wholeness and lifestyle change. I plan to continue utilizing the learned practices daily to continue my path of human flourishing. Then I will share with others to help them foster greater health and wellness.
About the quote: A person cannot lead someone to a place or point they have not been. Having a general idea is like being lost in a maze, trying to figure your way out. This statement applies to health and wellness in that providers must work on their own spiritual evolution to actually experience what the model represents. I have an obligation to my clients because I can’t expect them to get and understand what I have not tried and accomplished. Personally, I will continue the practices learned in this class and seek to find a trainer possibly through the resources provided.
Did everyone else have a pleasant experience? Let's share!
