The meditative practice of this week was a little different from previous weeks. First it was a little complicated to choose one person to focus the mind. I thought in my mother, but she is sick. I got sad and stop the practice to talk to her. Then I decided to concentrate in my brand new grandson. He is 2 weeks old. It was easy concentrating imagining his little face and hands. It was a wonderful experience to be with him and become the bright light with him.
Mindfulness meditation improves both mental and physical health. This practice helps deepen understanding the inner forces of life. Provides a general sense of calm, peace and balance that benefits emotional well-being and overall health.
“One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself" (p.477).
This phrase is clearly telling us to take action. We must teach with example and promote positive changes in health to our clients. It is important to realized people are motivated by positive actions, and results. When we practice we become part of the action, and other will follow.

I am so sorry that your mother is sick and that the exercise threw you off a bit. On a positive not it is nice to see that you could bounce back to your grandson to shed some light on an otherwise sad situation. I feel that it is important to help heal those around us by trying to stay positive and ensuring that they feel good energy from those surrounding them. It is important for us as individuals to stay positive to heal ourselves but also to help heal those around us. I personally think that we are not only healers of ourselves and our bodies but to those around us as well.
