Meeting Aesclepius

In this weeks assignment  we get a look at what a clear mind is and looks like. It gives us a look at our inner healer. I like this exercise because it made me feel comfortable and happy with the creating a healer from my own mind. I feel as though I can continue to use these exercises to foster a more calm mind in stressful environments and to try to heal myself through having a strong control over my mind. I believe these practices can help me deal with stress and anger that build up and arise on an everyday basis in my life. "One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself", applies to health and wellness profession by saying that you can not guide an individual to having a clear consciousness or to a deeper mind state if that is a place that you, yourself have not been mentally. Only a person that has been to a certain can describe how that place is to another individual. I feel as though a practitioner should be developing all aspects of his or herself so that they will always be able to provide patients with the best care that they can. There are many ways to implement psychological and spiritual growth in your life such as growing to church, meditation, reading and puzzles as well as sports and anything that allows deeper concentration.
