Complete the "Meeting Asciepius" exercise on track #4 of the Dacher CD. Describe your meditative practice(s) for the week and discuss the experience. Explain how mindfulness or meditation has fostered an increase in your psychological or spiritual wellness. How can you continue to apply these practices in your life to foster greater health and wellness?

As listening the Meeting Asciepius exercise. I wanted to learn more about the healer. For me mindfulness or meditation is really very hard for me to practice, because it is very difficult to learn. For the last week, I try to meditation practice involving the spiritual together at once. This things is so hard to focus when there are so much going on around me with the anger, my health, financial, schools and working two jobs, and other issues in my life that I just can't get myself into a place, I hope that is gives me complete control. I’d just thinking positive and saying god give me strength and I keep repeating that I can take care of myself without any help. The best is to look up to myself first before anything else. When I am closing my eyes, I keep telling my mind to follow my dream as many times I said, in someday I will receive my achievement, so that I have a better jobs and a good place to stay and I can give something for my kids, I can support, loving, and give what they needs. Even though, this is so hard to practice. I won’t give up learning to practice, just needs to focus on so that take out my stressful.

Describe the saying: "One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself” (P.477) How does this apply to the health and wellness professional? Do you have an obligation to your clients to be developing your health psychologically, physically, and spiritually? Why or why not? How can you implement psychological and spiritual growth in your personal life?

I think that as a practitioner clients need to feel and see this in you in order to trust your advice and what you are telling them to do. I believe we do have an obligation to our clients in developing our own psychological, physical and spiritual health because this will give the clients confidence in your guidance and trust that you are leading them in the right direction. Therefore, by implementing the meditation practices, yoga, positive thinking, exercise and Reiki that I can grows and it needed to develop my personal psychological and spiritual health.
