From the exercises and practices we completed, visualization and meditation were my favorite. Visualization allows me to create positive energy to help change my self-concept and attitude to live a happier and healthier life. Meditation allows me relax, reduce stress and anxiety as well as feel the sense of wholeness by strengthening and improving my psychological health. I particularly enjoyed the "Meeting Asciepius". This experience provided a spiritual connection - an amazing feeling of love.
I have learned a lot about myself through this class and will continue to practice these and other forms of Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
Hi Michelle:
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome you were able to have such a moving, spiritual experience with the visualization exercises and a chance to meet your spiritual guide. I am sure you will grow spiritually in the future now that you have discovered your guide.
The visualization exercises were OK for me but I think I got more relief from the meditation practices because I needed the stress relief at this time in my life.
This was a very beneficial and helpful course and it went by so fast. I think that's another reason meditation is important because it allows us to stop and enjoy peace and stillness for a few precious moments.
Take care,
Sheree
Hey Michelle,
ReplyDeleteI also agree. Whenever I do my meditation practices, it somehow enriched my life. I have a better appreciation for life in general and is open to new exploration.
I too agree that completing this course bring me psychological and spiritual growth.
Michelle,
ReplyDeleteI agree that this class has helped me to discover a lot about internal myself. I have always been facinated with why there can be so many different outcomes when you have the same dignosis from a group of people. It all comes from the reactive part of the mind and the way we are trained to perceive things. Our perception is trained in us from the first day of birth and once we overcome our own perceptions of things and let our own innate healing take effect and work as it was intended, we make better patients for doctors and ourselves. We, as healthcare professionals who specialize in CAM, can only hope that doctors will become more receptive to these complimentary forms of healing, to help them with their treatments and prescribed medicines making their treatments more effective. Doctors are only trained to fix patients who become ill or broken, many of them have not the foggiest clue as to how to keep someone from becoming ill or injured. That is where we step in and assist the doctors with their jobs.
