Unit 7

1. Complete the Meeting Aesclepius mp3 (located in the Doc Sharing area). Describe your meditative practices 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?

I enjoyed this exercise. It brought me closer to a mentor that I lost to death 4 years ago. Her wisdom was shared with many her siblings, her parents, nieces, nephews, grandchildren. Her wisdom was not just words or phrases remembered but a presence that was wanted and sought after. Becoming her though was a little stressful because I felt that any negative was protected within her. I remember being positive all time but I worried who would she share her concerns and question with.

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?

... One cannot a"One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself" what does this mean to me?

Through the meaning of each word a lesson can be learned. How to walk the path of a rigorous route cannot be led by someone safely who has not done this route before. What is the difference? Through pure definition of words formulated into a sentence we can come to a meaning but that is all…. Keyword being taught in the rigorous routes that has been traveled before people are led through its, the leader undisputedly will be the one or should be the one who has walked this rigorous route before so getting to the end of the route may be a safer experience than being led by one who understands that the route is rigorous so it may be tough.

We definitely have an obligation to our clients to gain knowledge through experience throughout our career. It will create a connection that is understood and respected without words. All my life I have felt that in order for me to provide information on anything I should have gathered experience behind it. I'm not certain if the experience gathered in this field will be through deal with more clients in understanding their situations and death but in my everyday life I used these teaching tools regularly.

For me developing psychological and spiritual growth could be found in reading and materials are already closed cases. That didn't sound very good time soundest honest but hopefully there are books like and or health that can be sought after they can give us a clear explanation or more thought patterns and people are different situations.
