These practices of meditation can be applied daily in my
life. To simply take the time for myself to reflect inward daily even several
times a day is what grounds us as individuals. The practices I have learned
here will health continue to settle the inner anxiety to which I deal.
"One cannot lead
another where one has not gone himself" (p.477). Is basically saying you cannot
teach someone or guide them to do something you are not willing to do first.
This is a fundamental of leadership. You must truly work to become a master of
your own psychologically, physically, and spirituality to guide someone to do
the same. You don’t want to be “the blind leading the blind.” Daily I need to
meditate and pray to my god to increase my own spiritual growth. I must
meditate on opening my own heart and mind to the beauties around me. I need to
in my own space work on calming my mind and frustration, along with acceptance
of what is around me. I will always need to consistently work on my own
nutrition and physical exercise to expect my clients to take care of their temples
too.
Hi Danya,
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you. From each of the practices we have tried, I can honestly say I would not continue all of them but what’s important is that we tried them and became familiar with them. If we intend on teaching or guiding others we must become familiar with many different things even if we do not practice all of them in our everyday lives. You never know, some things may be useful at a certain time in your life so it’s still good to know. Also personal testimonies is what people like to hear before they try something themselves.
