Week 7 - Aesclepian Healing

This morning, while everyone else was still in bed, I listened to Track #4 - Aesclepian Healing.  The person I chose to experience this energy exchange with was one of my former instructors, Ms. KC Miller, founder of the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts.  KC is the one person I know that emulates the loving-kindness I aspire to achieve.  It was a very interesting experience.  As a student, we had participated in several classes where visualization was involved, including one where we allowed our subconscious to step out of our body and into the body of a person we had unfinished business with.  The object was to experience the situation from the other person's point of view.  So visualizing KC in the same room came easily.  I was able to visualize the white light emanating from her crown chakra and connecting with my crown chakra.  I could feel the peaceful loving energy filling my body.  While connecting our heart chakras, I felt the warmth spreading from my center throughout my body.  The throat chakra was the challenge.  Though I could visualize the healing energy emanating from KC's throat and traveling to mine, the initial response was a stuffiness in my throat.  I began coughing, trying to clear that blockage.  I felt like it was time to release whatever had been blocking my ability to speak my truth.  I asked KC to help me by sending healing energy to remove the block.  I'm not sure when this blockage originated but if I am to continue my path of helping others find their truth, I need to find out what's holding me back.  I intend to continue this practice on a regular basis to discover the origin of and then release this blockage. 

The saying, "One cannot lead another to where one has not gone himself" applies to the health and wellness professional in respect that it's very difficult to connect with where your clients are coming from if you have never been there yourself.  There was a question posted that asked if a practitioner had an obligation to their clients to develop their health physically, psychologically and spiritually.  I believe a practitioner is responsible for developing their health with respect to their own path.  I believe that spirit brings to us those that need what we have to offer and as no one person is perfect in all aspects, those who can relate to the passion we, as practitioners, share with our clients will be drawn to us.  Spiritual and psychological growth is not something that you demonstrate when you are with a client, it is something that you live in your life each and every day.  Up and down, forward and back, inside and outside - above all, we are human beings - not human doings - so don't just do it - BE IT.
