Throughout the exercise meeting Aesclepius, I was
capable to make an image of an individual who I imagined in admiration for
their sympathy, love, tolerance, kindness, selflessness, loving-kindness,
thoughtfulness, inward excellence and gentle.
This extraordinary and excellent knowledge of mindfulness and meditation
has positively fostered an increase in both my psychological and spiritual
wellbeing. Concerning meditation, quieting my mind in the vicinity of the
unseen and Supreme Being and envisioning the excellence of all creation have
surely affected my internal being incorporating my mind in a positive and
illuminated way and have inspired me in an unimaginable happiness. This experience I came across inside my inner
being is worth something to discuss with the individuals who have never
encounter this glorious exercise. It is
my extreme longing to practice this exercise as continuous as would be prudent
to proceed this way to encourage more excellent health and wellness. The expression, "One cannot lead another
where one has not gone himself" is regularly expressed as "You cannot
talk the talk if you haven't walked the walk." For instance, in the event that somebody has
not encountered a specific experience how can (s)he guide another person to the
same thing? With respect to health and
wellness, this implies that, if an individual does not demonstrate for himself
or herself the benefit of meditation or mindfulness and integral health , it
will demonstrate challenging to pass on this experience to an alternate
obviously. That said our lives are a
walking affirmation daily. As a medical
professional, one needs to incorporate the act of mindfulness practices every
day. Meaning that ((s)he needs to trust
in his/her purpose, work, and live by the same teaching (s)he gives the
clients/patients.
“Through meditation and by giving full
attention to one thing at a time, we can learn to direct attention where we
choose” Eknath Easwaran.
"One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself". That statement couldn't be more true. I love to pass on my knowledge of meditation to others. This pushes me to learn more and go deeper within to find my true inner being. I want to make the world a better place, but I know it has to start from within. You are exactly right, if you are going to teach it, you must live it first. I am so glad I read your blog, it re inspired me, thank you for this great post!
ReplyDeleteEdmond,
ReplyDeleteI love that you said this has inspired you in an unimaginable happiness. I know that inner happiness that you're talking about. It's impossible to explain to someone who hasn't experienced it. That inner peace and happiness is what makes me understand the idea of being happy no matter what is going on in my life. I will not fall apart if life gets rough. I have this place inside me that will stay true no matter what else happens. I love how I feel when I meditate and this feeling is spreading into my everyday life. It is the feeling of health, happiness and wholeness, and I want to spread this feeling to the world.

Edmond,
ReplyDeleteGreat post!! I love how you put a relevant quote at the end of each of your blog postings. As for the assignment, you seem to have integrated the meditating practices that we are learning throughout the course of this class into your life. It is nice to see someone "practicing what they preach". Which leads me to the quote about, "One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself". It is similar to "one cannot truly love if they do not love themselves". Anyways all of these sayings are just saying what you said, that we need to be walking affirmations. Not be hypocritical but lead by example.

I am happy to hear that you have taken away such positve feeling from these exercises. I have as well!
ReplyDeleteI wish you continued success!
I agree that you have to "walk the walk to talk the talk." Nobody is going to take health advice from somebody who is all doom and gloom. If an overweight person who seems unhappy was giving me health advice I would be hard pressed to take that advice! Never mind pay for that advice. We must emulate those who are successful healers and learn from them so we can in turn help others.
