"Meeting Asclepius" was not a difficult exercise to try, but I did not achieve a sense of accomplishment with it. I was able to imagine a wise person, but I could not reach any deep level of thought or feeling with the experience. I found the long pauses on the track left my mind open to wandering off too much. I know I still need to work on my quiet place and my focus with all of these exercises.
“One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself” refers to the ability to teach others about integral health if you are not practicing it yourself. You won’t have the knowledge or experience to help others on this path if you have not been there yourself. In regards to the health and wellness professional, you want someone that “practices what they preach”. We once discussed overweight physicians telling you to lose weight. It is hard to believe in someone or to take them seriously if they do not follow their own advice. If you feel they are being hypocritical, you will not take them seriously and will not follow their advice either.
