This meditation exercise was one that I really enjoyed. Taking the time to focus on that one person (my grandpa) that I truly adored gave me a sense of peace and willpower. Using my imagination, as I united with my gramps, provided me with a great sense of love and comfort as I focused on my spiritual wellness.
Lately, I have allowed myself to meditate during those times of peace and quiet. I would have never thought I would engage in this form of healing practices, but these exercises have allowed me to really focus on my self-worth. I do believe that I must incorporate these exercises into my daily lifestyle in order to gain the full benefits of meditation and spiritual growth. Although prayer is my ultimate source of healing, adding a new form of meditative practices has allowed me to venture out a little more in my spiritual growth process.
When I think about the saying, “one cannot lead another where one has not gone himself”, I always think of my teenage daughter whom I love so dearly. Often, I tell myself that I must go through the test of times in order to assist her when she reach this narrow road in her life one day. I must experience it myself, before I can provide her with the advice that’s needed to handle life occurrences.
Not only do I have an obligation to my teenage daughter, I also have an obligation to my clients as I work on my psychological, physical, and spiritual health. My goal is to lead by example and strive for a healthier “Me”. In order to this, I must be able to identify with the good and the bad before offering my assistance to those whom surround me or desire my help. In order to accomplish this ultimate goal, I must train my mind to love, and inner my own heart in order to feel secure where I am (Dacher, 2006). I’m looking forward to the opportunity to live out the life in which God has given me, as well as take on the new challenges that will soon come my way!

Congratulations it looks like you have it under control and a pklan in place. I agree with your thoughts about being there to help her through her journey. You also mentioned your committment to your clients, we do need to lead by example. we need to be what we teach and when we do that we should be in our best health. This was one of our best meditations as I said earlier in my blog it was incredible how I felt after the meditation and it was great to involve my father who is still the most important person in my life even 5 years after his passing. Again congrats to you.
ReplyDeleteKeesha,
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful for you to "reunite" with your Grandpa. I'm happy to hear that you are getting a lot of benefit from these exercises, I hope you will continue them long after these 10 weeks are over. I believe they will bring you much peace.
