Meeting Aesclepius

My experience with the Aesclepius mp3 was good. Some moments of silence were hard for me to stay focused. I ended up thinking about work, but the speaker would refocus me. Towards the end I really enjoyed the meditation. I imagined my mom because she really is like a mentor to me. Anything and everything in life I can go to her. It made me laugh when she said to speak like they do. She is always telling me to not curse or correcting my vocabulary. For me this was a very enjoyable meditation because I adore and love my Mom. The time spent thinking about her really makes me feel an inner happiness. I could see myself listening to this one again.  

“One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself” To me this means if you haven’t experienced it you cannot teach it. You can’t lead someone to a place you have never been. It is the reason I decided to go to Kaplan. I could’ve got a certification and started health coaching in about a year. But in a year I didn’t feel I would get the education I needed to start. So far I feel I made a good decision. Both the classes in my first term have proved to be extremely beneficial in way I can’t even put into words.

I think it is important everyone continues to work on their health psychologically, physically, and spiritually.  I often say to my mom, if I don’t practice a healthy living myself how can I possibly help others or expect them to do it. When you have a conversation you can really tell when someone speaks from experience. As a professional your trust in their advice is very important. I want people to work for a healthy lifestyle because they truly believe I can help them. Once I have a well-rounded knowledge I will enjoy the field of health and wellness. I’d eventually like to get a part-time job that will help me gain experience as well. By continuing my education I am psychologically and spiritually growing. This course alone has given me so much to learn and practice. The studies and practices in the text will absolutely be a part of my professional future.
