Unit 7 "One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself"

I do these exercises and I alsway get so relaxed. I always like many of you picture my grandmother. She was so important to me in my life and some of her last words to me was how she was so proud of me. I get so emotional picturing her, but it makes me smile, she was so selfless and so happy to be a part of me and my sisters lives, and in so much of it. My son even remembers her, and remembers her love. So as I sat back quietly in my chair I always feel waves of color and as my breathing sets a regular rythmic pattern, then next thing I know I feel this raw sense of happiness as the voice awakens me from my experience. I love implementing meditation in my life, life is busy and not calm with 2 little kids and work and school, the list of my responsabilities are endless, but with these calming exercises (especially before bed) I sleep sounder, my head is clearer and I do feel such a raw sense of happiness and joy. Life in the raw I like to call it. There is no other noise, no other disturbances, it is me, myself and I, and the beauty my mind can possess, despite the chaos.

 "One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself"

I think the ultimate saying here is "Practicing What You Preach"!! There is no way I can go into a fitness facility or help nutritionally counsel people if I am not following nutritional standards and taking good care of myself. It reminds me of nurses and doctors who constantly need cigarrette breaks, it reminds me of a doctor my son had when he was sick in the hospital. This doctor gave my husband and I such an egotistical attitude, making us feel like it was our fault my sons gall bladder was failing, and this doctor had looked like he swallowed 2 watermelons. I bet this doctors skin was screaming at him so being so stretched! How can a doctor whho practices health and medicine let himself go. He knows better, just as I will. I will always maintain my fitness and nutritional mind frame to help others achive theirs. How can I possibly teach people nutrition if I don't study it and practice it in my everyday life as well. Always keeping your subconcsious open and spirituality in tact you can soar higher and maintain the utmost feeling of health.
