In this week’s experience I could feel an overwhelming
feeling of calm and love brought to me during meditation. It is an amazing feeling to think and feel
that one person that I respect and find full of wisdom. In past weeks I have
started to become more in touch with myself and my emotions. More aware of the
things that I do and or say. I have a long way to go but I think that the more
I take the time to think about things and the more I try to relax the more I
may become less of a hot head. The saying “one cannot lead another where one
has not gone himself” means that if we too do not feel happiness or positive than
we cannot help people to feel those feelings either. The same goes for a health
and wellness professional, someone who is obese not physically fit and
unknowledgeable on health and wellness techniques cannot help another achieve
any of these goals. You most yourself be versed in the areas in which you are
helping others.

I am happy for you that you have grown within this class, I myself have grown too. It is an incrediable felling to have that person with you all the time. This way you will never be alone when you go threw your day to day activities. I fully agree with how you inturpeted that saying. It is like a person that is smoking and decides they want to give you health advice.
ReplyDeleteHi Jessica,
ReplyDeleteI do agree that someone who isn't taking care of themselves cannot really help someone else, but size is not always a factor. Some people choose to be in a bigger body, because that is what they like a bigger body. I know I have been meditating and taking care of myself for the past seventeen years. It is only in last few years that I have been getting thinner, but I have been working with clients for seventeen years. most of the healing happens inside and is not always noticeable to general public. In the same token I am in a bigger body, but I am more flexible then my kids were when they were two years old. So just because I am bigger doesn't mean I am not healthy. I am heavier then I would like to be right now, but I am healthier then I have ever been. When it is time for me to be thinner I think the extra weight is just going to fall away easily and effortlessly
Thanks,
Mary Derry
