Unit 7 Assignment

Hello Dr. Arguilar and Classmates,

I found this units assignment to be much more enjoyable than assignments in past weeks. I think that this is because I was asked to think of someone who is strong, peaceful, and incredibly important to me. I decided to think of my father during this exercise. My father passed away about four years ago and he is always a comfort to me when I am facing difficult times. I envisioned him as the exercise requested, and it brought me to a happier place. I think that whenever I have the opportunity to think about my father that I am always brought to a happier place. This feeling put me in a better state of mind for the rest of the exercise. Thanks Dad :) By using the peace I feel when I envision my father I can try to become more spiritually enlightened through meditation practice. This will help me in the process of integral health because it will allow to finally begin to get a grasp on meditation and the good it can do for me.

"One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself"

This means exactly as it states. If I want to become a person who is able to help others on the road to integral health than I muse first travel this road myself. It is not wise to tell others to do what you could not achieve yourself. It would be like an alcoholic trying to help someone get sober while still drinking himself.

I can achieve integral health and spiritual wellness by taking the stress out of my life through meditation and a healthful lifestyle. When I am living a better life mind, body, and spirit I will be more prepared to help my future clients.

Thanks,

Kaitlin
