In the meeting Aesclepius practice this week I really worked on focusing on the energy exchange between the vision of the chosen "wise one" and my inner self. I think this was my favorite exercise so far. Maybe it is because I chose someone I hold so dear to me and have always tried to emulate (my dad who has passed). This exercise was a great reminder of what qualities are important to me and just what kind of individual I want to be and am at my core. The exercise itself seemed a lot loess involved and had less steps; this helped me to stay on track and focus.
Describe the saying: "One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself" (p.477).
I believe this saying refers to the fact that the health care professional (in this case) cannot teach and instill in the patient the path to wellness and wholeness without them taking this journey themselves. I think it is important to try our best to practice what we preach; I know I need to pay more attention to this myself, especially when it comes to the lessons I try to teach my children. In both the world of parenting and in my role as a nurse, I will be best received if they see me walking the walk so to speak.
