The meditation practice this week asked us to think of
someone we respect and admire for his or her wisdom and I chose my Mother. She has a deep calming presence and has a
great awareness of the important things in life. When reflecting on her wisdom and
characteristics I realized I admire her for her love of everyone and her
ability to find fun in every situation.
She absolutely lives by the life is too short motto. Although I did enjoy this exercises I did
once again have difficulty imagining the beams of light associated with this
mediation practice. I felt like I was
trying so hard to imagine it that it took away from the exercise. Maybe I am just not creative enough for those
mental visuals. I enjoyed the thought of
absorbing my Mother’s great attributes.
I hope to be half the woman she is some day.
The saying, “One cannot lead another where one has not gone
himself” is a very strong statement to me.
It means that if you have not accepted this lifestyle into your life how
can you expect yourself to teach someone about it? As a massage therapist I have many clients
looking to me for advice able health and wellbeing. I couldn’t possibly give them advice if I did
not practice it myself. Not only does it
make you a better teacher it allows the person to trust you in there learning
path. I think in my profession it is
important to have and practice wellness.
You are touching people while they are in a relaxed semi conscious state
and extremely sensitive to negativity or positivity. I would like to continue my path to wellness
with more mediation practice and practicing love and compassion.
