Unit 7: How to foster health in wellness through meditative practice

Unit 7 Meditative Practice

1)  After completing the Asciepus Exercise, I have to say that it has made me so much calmer and  aware of what I have to do to become much more healthier.  I do know that I want to understand more about myself psychologically.  There are so many obstacles in my life that I feel that they are just getting in my way of advancing to a better place in my life where I can find that inner peace.  I feel that most of the time I am surrounded bysuch negative people that just want to bring me down.  I was hoping that these exercises will help me pull myself out of these situations.  I pray that I can find the strength to cope with these people and come out being that strong and optimisti person that i have always been and want to be again.  I feel that continuing to practice these exercises will give me a way to achieve the health and wellness that I long for.

2)  When understanding what is meant by "One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself", I have to say that I totally believe that this is true.  Being in the health and wellness field and giving people advise on bettering their nutritional, physical and spiritual aspects has to come from a good role model.  So it is clear to me that i have to get myself together and back onto the right track again.  I have so much baggage and am finding it so very hard to accomplish these tasks because of all the events that have been going on in my life.  These hurdles are still continuing to hamper my achievements and is exhausting my positive energy right from me.  I feel that I am running out of steam and cannot provide the experiences and strenths that I need to bewhat I have to be for my clients.  I am in the need of someone to get me back.  I am working on reading the Bible for the help and guidance I need, but am always finding a way not to get into the Word.  This is getting in the way of my goals and for me to help my clients and incur an income.  I am so frustrated.


Hopefully I can overcome these hindrances because they are standing in my way of being the "Old Andrea with the new knowledge that I am continuing to build on.
