Hello All,
Once again I am late in getting my postings in. I do apologize for this. It is not that the practices are not important it is my life at the moment working against time. I have changed shifts from 8:00 a.m. thru 4:30 p.m. to working from midnight to 8:30 a.m., unfortunately this has thrown not only my body ryhthms off but my daily schedule as well. I have also taken on the role of caregiver to my cousin who suffers from many different mental illnesses. I do not mind as I care and love her very deeply, I just can't seem to work everything in daily and always seem to be playing "catch up".
Doing the meditative practice on "Meeting Aesclepius" I was able to visualize and see my friend Jacqueline, who passed away 5 years ago from lung cancer. She was my mentor and started me on the path I am now. I was able to hear her in my thoughts and see her beautiful smile. Seeing her helped me to realize that even in the most adverse of times there are blessings and life brings many joys to your life. During this I was able to open my mind and heart to the need of support and love that my cousin needs, just as Jacque supported me.
By using the meditative practices I am able to make peace with issues that may be bothering me, such as agreeing to be the caregiver to my cousin. I fought with myself on this for several weeks now and through meditation I know that I will become a better person for opening my heart in loving-kindness by being there for her.
I can use the different meditations in my life to bring peace and increase my faith. I can also share these practices with others, and hope that they find their inner consciousness and open their mind to this and open their hearts as well.
The saying "One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself", (George, 2005), means to me that as a practitioner I can not fully understand or help someone if I do not practice the techniques that I may suggest. As a health and wellness consultant if I do not believe and lead by example than I should not be practicing. I have used different techniques from exercise to prayer to help with the conditions that I have. I have also personally seen how the power of spirituality can help someone get better even if for a short time.

ReplyDeleteI respect all the your doing right now in your life. In my book you deserve an A++++, do not worry about late posting~~I am just glad to hear from you. I pray right now that our Lord Jesus will help you find peace and the strength within to do what is needed in order for you to get your life back on track while being the loving caregiver that you are. I pray that not only will you find GREAT INTEGRAL HEALTH and HEALING, but love, peace and happiness in your home and on your job in the mighty name of JESUS. I ask you, LORD Jesus to work swiftly in my spiritual sister's home showing her your loving kindness and concern as well as blessings for taking on the duty of caring for others. I ask that you LOrd Jesus will encamp angels around her to help her on her spiritual journey, I claim all this done in Jesus Name. I feel their may be a little spirit of anxiety running around in your home, in my spirit--> Melody, I feel you should get a ocean wave musical CD~~or any form of music that brings spiritual healing and relaxation within the being and play it for everyone to hear in your home...It will bring peace...Love you always~~~angie
Angie,
ReplyDeleteThank you. These words do not seem adequate enough to explain to you how much this prayer touched my heart.
I believe that God brings people in your life for a reason. In the case of this class and the individuals who are participating in it, they all add to my blessings everyday. I look forward to being able to keep in touch with you and the others. And one day with God's help our paths will cross and I will be able to give you the hug that you so richly deserve.
Angie, you are a spiritual light and you have taught me so much about praying and faith. You are able to post this prayer for me while you are suffering with worry over your parents. That truly shows the love you have in your heart. May God be with you and yours, and may he send his angels to watch over you, give you strength and love.
