This was the best meditation so far. It was easy to pull up my wise person. He is someone I feel the deepest respect and love for. I am always calmed and secure in his presence. This made the experience so "real" and so peaceful from the first moments. It was a little hard too as he is gone from my life now and I miss him everyday. So, I was a little sad but as I stayed with it I realized he will always be a part of me. He came and gave me great gifts, he made me a better person.
Being mindful keeps me grounded. I can now watch my thoughts run amuck and remind myself to check my perspectives against what is real. Applying them in my life becomes easier as I learn more. I would never "go back" to the old me.
"One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself" simply means that in order to be a good teacher you first had to be a good student. I cannot teach someone to tango without first knowing the steps, nor can I teach it without being able to remember how my body felt trying to learn. People will not follow if they do not feel confidant in the leader, on any of the "dance floors" of life.
These concepts apply to health and wellness professionals as we are being entrusted with our clients well-being. We need to be confidant, approachable, easy to understand, willing, compassionate... I feel deeply obligated to my clients because I just might be the one person who can make a profound and lasting difference in his or her life. Having received great gifts I am now eager to pay them forward.
