Unit 7 Blog Post



The Aesclepius meditation was a great way to become more aware and see the true essence of who I am.  Mindfulness meditation such as this one, helps foster more awareness for the moment.  Instead of mindlessly going through the motions of life, it helps you to experience everything you are doing.  When I am actually mindful even in the little things, I don’t take things for granted which helps boost my psychological wellness because I become more grateful even for the little things.  

The saying "One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself” (Dacher, 2006, p.477). Means that if I don’t understand the path to healing for myself, how I can assist anyone else.  I must first help myself before I can lead anyone else.  As a health and wellness professional I do have an obligation to my clients to actively develop my personal health psychologically, physically and spiritually.  Failing to do so would make me a hypocrite and a sham.  Implementing psychological and spiritual practices like prayer, mediation, exercise, healthy food and healthy relationships will create more growth in my life.
