Unit 7 "One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself"

This saying applies to the health and wellnes professional in respect to instructing a client to do a exercise without you completing it yourself and understanding. Making sure that they can the full effect of things is your responsibility and if your have never experienced it. You have a onligation to your clients to be able to instruct them and explain what ever practice you are involved in. Continuing on the path by implementing psychological and spiritual growth in my personal life on a daily basis and continuing to grow will spiritually will ensure health and well -being

Unit 7: Meeting Asciepius

I enjoyed completing this exercise as I have most of them, but for this one I enjoyed the most so far. Being able to allow the light beam to connect from my mentor to myself for a few moments was very relaxing and a very much needed break. Working through the rest of the exercise was also very enjoyable. Being mindful of your thoughts allows you to put different things into perspective. Not allowing yourself to get stressed, or overwelmed. Which in turn helps to keep a well balanced self. Daily practices of these exercises will help foster greater health and wellness. The more I practices these exercises the better I will become at creating a better life for myself.

Loving Kindness unit 6

In the loving kindness exercise, I enjoyed doing the exercise very much. It was a very refreshing exercise for me. It was an exercise where you thought of someone very close to you and you held a lot of love toward. You were to turn that love in ward and then project that love out to people that were suffering and then extend that out to individuals you may of had differences with in the past. I found that very easy for me to do. I could actually feel a sence of relief by doing this exercise. I am a person that tries not to harbor ill feelings anyway, but this exercise did help even further. I felt a joy within, a warm and comforting glow.

Scale of 1-10

My physical wellness on a scale of 1-10 would be a 6. I have Leukemia, which is a blood disorder, and they type I have is a very slow growing Leukemia. I am also a diabetic, which I keep under control. I do not have to have injections, oral medication is all. My spritual well being on a scale from 1-10 would be a 7. That is really good for me compaired to a year ago. My psychological level would be an 8. I am a very open minded individual, somewhat of a free spirit. There is good in everything all you have to do is look for it. Try and always focus on the positive, there is enough negative in the news. Implementing goals in the three different categories of my life have already begun, not letting the physical aspects of my life bring me down. I keep a close eye on my blood work and take supplements for anything I may be low in. I have a problem with vitamin D levels so I take supplements everyday for that. My spiritual well being I also work on that each day. I try and meditate or do yoga exercises each day. The psychological aspect of things are on the upswing also. I returned to school to finish my degree in psychology at the age of 56. Some of my family and friends try to discourage me from doing that , espically when I found out that I had L`eukemia. But for me, finding that out only enspired me all the more to complete what I originally started out to do. I have never really looked at age as being a factor in determining a lot of things, it all depends on the individual. "The Crime of the Century " was a wonderful CD, I felt very refeshed after listening to it. It was very relaxing and I even burned a CD to keep it on hand.
