I liked this practice of “Meeting Asciepius” the best of all the ones we have done. I do well with visualization and found it easy to see the healer in my mind and begin to connect with him. I know it will take a lot of practice to really appreciate what can happen, but it will be a good exercise for me. I am still practicing loving-kindness, and I find that it has helped me to begin to be aware of others in my life in a different light. I find that I am less reactive, which is a very good for my overall well-being. I can continue to apply these practices by setting aside a daily time to practice these exercises. Although I haven’t reached calm-abiding yet, these practices have really helped me to ease my anxiousness and stress.
A health and wellness professional cannot teach or lead a client toward integral health and health practices, if he/she does not appreciate what it has done to his/her life. Following these practices can also bring challenges that need to be experienced before a person can really teach anyone else to meet them. I also think I need to be as healthy in all aspects of my life as possible, so that I can personally show the client through my actions and well-being how much these changes can enhance all aspects of a person’s life. And, I don’t appreciate people telling me to “do as I say, not as I do.” I don’t think my client would either. I can implement psychological and spiritual growth in my own person life by practicing contemplation techniques and loving-kindness as a part of my daily life and routine.
