Unit 7

Meeting asclepius was a great practice exercise, I actually felt the presence of my chosen healer and was actually able to feel like I had merged with my healer.  It's hard to explain but it was very pronounced in my legs especially...
I practive the subtle mind excercise daily. I have been doing this now for several weeks and it has made a tremendous impact on my life.
And by continually making this my practice each day I feel I will be doing great benefit to my emotional, spiritual and mental well being which will help my physical well being as a result.
The saying 'one cannot lead another where one has not gone himself.' Makes sense because why would I think that someone who teaches mediation but who has never meditated could assist me in fostering my spiritual growth & help me understand my milestones and through practical experience assist me when I need help pulling through rough patches?  They most likely couldn't relate to what I was telling them and therefore could not provide me adequate advice to help me grow more or breath through the road block I find myself in!
I feel I have an obligation to know what I am doing through practical experience instead of just studying about it...
Just like the Saducees & Pharasees in the bible... they can sure talk a good talk but when it comes to practicing and knowing in their heart the truth of God they are as good as a drunken blind irishman trying to plow a straight line in a wheat field... they'll take you in circles but you won't get anywhere.
(No disrespect to irishmen, I'm polish & I don't take polish jokes personally) lol

  1. Liz,

    If it weren't for the whiskey the Irishmen would rule the world (I am Irish, and as my dad always said "if you can't laugh at yourself don't you dare laugh at anyone else"), no offense was taken by your joke.

    I have found that taking some time each day to mediate helps me stay focused, my heart opened a little more with this weeks exercise. Having that mantra to say helps me realize there is a bigger world out there then just me.

    Barbara.
