Unit 7 Creating Wellness

Hello everyone!
I cannot say that I enjoyed this week's meditative practice.  Although I spent time focusing on God, there was too much moving around on my already stressed out body and mind to be able to focus and relax.  I can't say that I would be able to find release with any of the visionary practices.  I prefer to clear my mind and focus on my breath instead of visualizing something.  I can say that my practice with breathing, my use of yoga, and the use of my piano has brought forth the greatest increase of my psychological and spiritual well-being, as well as prayer.  I believe that if I want to increase my health and wellness even more, I should continue these practices on a daily basis, especially when I become stressed or overwhelmed.

The saying: "One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself," means that if  you haven't experienced something, how can you teach or show someone else that thing you haven't experienced?  This applies to the health and wellness field in the way that you can't lead a client to freedom from stress and mental torment if you yourself can't find that freedom.  I think it would be very important for the client if I made it my priority to develop my own psychological, physical and spiritual wellness so that I may be able to help my client without any distractions.  I want to practice quieting my mind on a daily basis by using yoga, breathing techniques and my piano.
