The meditations
for the week as usual were a bit difficult to start but they are becoming less
so. With the more time I spend on meditation, I find myself less stressed about
little things. I think back to them throughout my day and the feelings I had immediately
after an exercise (refreshed and relaxed.) I will continue to implement the
practices and gradually add more throughout the week and time during each.
As for the saying
“one cannot lead another where one has not gone himself”, it is perfectly applicable
to a health professional and their client. I know that as a client, I would
prefer someone I can relate to through their experiences/skill. As a
professional one would need to be knowledgeable of what they are teaching and constantly
developing oneself so that understanding the client’s needs and conditions are relatable
and genuine.

Dear Maria,
ReplyDeleteI am glad to see I am not the only one that is thinking about our exercises and trying to keep that feeling of relaxation and content. Some days are easier than others to relax and get down to it though.
I think that I would feel cheated if I was under someone's care and I found they were not truthful about their experience. I have known teachers in other fields that don't really know about the curriculum that they are teaching. Only doing what the book tells them to do. Reminds me of my boss. She has huge expectations sometimes but does not give us what we need to achieve. It is disappointing.
