My two favorite exercises this term were the Journey On exercise and the Meeting Asclepius exercise. The Journey On exercise provided me with the opportunity to view a situation that had stayed with me for many years from a different perspective. I believe I can use this exercise into the future as a tool to leaving the past in the past. The Meeting Asclepius exercise was very beneficial for many reasons. First it gave me the opportunity to experience the inner peace I know resides within my mentor. Secondly and probably most important, it allowed me the opportunity to see and recognize what I had been hiding behind for years and why. It has given me the strength to step out from behind my personal suit of armor. I no longer need it. I no longer need to read every new "guru" who says they have the answer. I now know that the answers have been inside me all along and I can trust my intuition to always lead me down the perfect path. The past was then - this is now and I rejoice in NOW!
I believe that this experience will provide me with the opportunity to relate to family, friends and my clients from a more balanced perspective. I am very grateful for this class.
It sounds like you have seen the start of an amazing transformation in your life. It seems that many of us our on a search for the next big thing, the next fix for our lives but as you stated it was in you all along. If we do not 'fix' what is inside of us we will not see any success with any path we choose to take, whether it is integral or not.
ReplyDeleteI wish you continued success.
Mary,
ReplyDeleteI am so with you on those two being the most beneficial exercises. They were mine as well. Way to go on finding this inner power in yourself. Some people try for a lifetime to find that kind of reality and never do. I think that is the big secret everyone has been trying to figure out...How do I make myself happy? Well..its righ there..you don't have to look any farther than the mirror. Because if you are not happy with you, you cannot be happy in life or with another. We all need to remember that we have th etools right in our head and hearts to improve our lives and health, we just need the courage to use it.

I think that it is wonderful the impact that these practices have had on your life. It is easy to go along with what every so-called practitioner tells you but ultimately the answers come from within you. You just have to find the tools to get there. It sounds like you finally have and now your journey is limitless! Congratulations.
