Unit 8

As I look back over the last few weeks I think I could appreciate the witnessing mind I like it because you learn to live and observe in the moment but not be caught up in the little nuances of the moment. You can be present but not actively involved with everything. I think that meditation is also a great way to learn to experience   peaceful life experiences you need to know how to go to a peaceful spot and channel your innerself at any time and allow you self to be engulfed in you own love of yourself.

Unit7 Meeting Aesceplius

I liked this exercise it was very comforting the person I chose is someone I am very close to therefore when thinking about the light coming from him to me I felt a warm loving sensation come over me I  felt really connected  it was really like being enveloped by this persons being.  The light felt so bright like I could not see through it but I could still see him. It was a marvelous experience.

You can not begin to help someone unless you know what it is they have gone through this reminds me of the time my husband wanted to quit smoking and he brought the patches  and they had a 800 number help line for when you needed encouragement  or just someone to talk to. I remember he called and was talking to the person on the other end and he asked them how long had they smoked? when the person replied they had never smoked he was so mad he said how can you help me if you don't know what it is like?  He said how do you hire someone for this type of job who does not understand the addiction. I had never thought about such a thing but it is true. As practitioners you have to practice what you preach in order to be able to truly help someone.

unit 6

I noticed  when I was doing this exercise that I got a chill while reciting those words. I have always been one to help someone to a fault but i think I never thought about helping them find abundant health happinesss and most of all wholeness. I spend a lot of time listening to people  when they're hurting but I never thought of helping them heal as helping them become whole again. It also makes me think about the career path in which I was thinking of going I know now that I want to be a counselor but the question is what kind. I have found myself lately on a path of self awareness and I am so appreciative of this. I know that by the end of class I will be such a better person for having taken this class. I think taking time to assess yourself  is a great thinking we should all do from time to time.

Unit 5

This exercise is much easier for me to do. I happen to enjoy the sounds of waves it takes me back to a vacation that I once went on. I feel that I am in a happy place. The sound of the flute is relaxing so much so I want to go to sleep. I must admit that it is a challenge to do these exercises because I work at night and I usually do these when I get home and I am already tired so I am naturally inclined to go to sleep. I am going to take this to work and try this when I am not sleepy. I can say that when i feel spiritually well The rest of me also feels well. I feel something drawing me back to the person I feel that I used to the untouched person before the world imposed it's opinions on me. Sometimes when you are out of sync you forget the person that you are, I am trying to recover that person because I liked her.
