When reflecting upon this week’s mindful exercise I found it difficult to focus on a wise entity or person, and take in all that is wise, truthful, and great about this person. I felt that absorbing the light from this person may not be as healing as I thought in my mind. My mind would stray and I would ask myself if the light from this person was pure? What if there is an unsettled negativity or ill manifestation lurking within this person that could impose negative energy inside of me? So, I struggled with finding the perfect entity to absorb light from. After a few minutes of giving light and loving-kindness to this person I felt that I should look inside myself to the purity of my higher self and reabsorb the white light emanating from my spirit while reinforcing the loving-kindness.
I can certainly feel the inner growth and unity transpiring within myself. The mindful practices have much to offer in unity consciousness and integral healing As a health care professional I should continue with these mindful practices as a modification to my past lifestyle, indefinitely, for better health and wellness for myself, and to teach others the healing practice as well. By doing so, not only will I achieve a higher level of human flourishing, I will also be a good role model/teacher for those who long for integral health, and whom are tired of being beat down from needless suffering. Without practicing the art of wellness for myself -it would be hard to convince others to practice. By teaching others about the path we have walked ourselves we would be teaching based on our own experiences; shining light where one finds darkness. When we heal ourselves we become enabled to help others. We can only receive what we put out into the universe.
I enjoyed the exercise about the "wise person" imaging. However, I also got distracted easily--this process can be a challenge for me too.
ReplyDeleteNow that I have been practicing breathing exercises to help clear my mind and to help me relax, it's a great feeling. Before, I would get so uptight in the traffic, now I just let other people who are in a hurry move on.
Experiencing what we are recommending to others is an important part of our industry. We cannot set a good example if we cannot speak from that experience and share it with our clients. Our passion for others to be able experience the positive effects of integral health would not be believed so easily if we do not practice these exercises ourselves.
I too had difficulty with this exerice. I felt a bit at unease as I could not chose a person to use for this exercice. I felt even more frustrated when I couldn't even make one up. I fell tiny bit batter knowing I was not the only one struggling with finding that perfect person. Though I did not give up and continued to attempt the exercise though I must say I need to find that mentor before I become very successful at this particular exercise.
