Unit 7

The Aesclepian practice was a very beneficial practice to me this week. I will say that it is not my favorite practice we have been offered so far in this class. It did allow me to clear my mind and focus on an individual with a new view. By picturing this loving and beneficial person in my life I was able to bring a feeling of love and peace to my mind through this practice. Working on these meditation practices this term has caused me to focus on my spiritual wellness and allowed me to grow and expand in that direction. This has been the most beneficial class I have taken in regards to my own personal growth. By continuing these practices on a daily basis over the next few months I will be able to grow and develop my personal spiritual wellness. Using the different practices we have been offered depending on the challenges in my life at the time can help me overcome challenges. There is a lot one can take from the saying “One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself”. I am graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology in a couple of weeks and am looking forward to working as a Substance Abuse Counselor. The saying discussed this week offers great knowledge when it comes to offering life therapy to clients. To me this saying reminds us as professionals to work on our personal development so we can offer first-hand knowledge to our clients. I believe that one can pass on knowledge even if they have not mastered or practiced this knowledge themselves. I do however feel that developing my personal psychological, physical, and spiritual well-being will allow me further knowledge to pass onto my clients.
