Spiritual Practices

I think that the two exercise I can use and adapt to the most are loving kindness, and meditation. I currently implement the loving kindness method in my every day life and feel it is a great tool; not only to help you but implement and help others. Although I am new to meditation and still trying to get use to it, it think it is a great form of spiritual healing. It is definitely something you have to practice and get used to but the results are amazing.

Follow before you lead

I think that the quote "one cannot lead another where one has not gone himself" translates to the you must follow before you lead. Its like preaching something that you have never practiced or don't do yourself. You cannot expect someone to listed or take advice from you if you don't do it! This most definitely apply in the health and wellness profession because someone who is trying to lose weight or get into better shape, is not going to listen or take advice from an overweight trainer or one who has not credentials.

Loving Kindness Exercise

I think that this exercise is very powerful with opening your heart and mind. It does not only effect you personally within but makes you realize weather or not you care for helping others. On a daily basis I am always trying to help guide people in the right direction. I am going to give this exercise out and see how they can relate to the exercise and maybe open their eyes.

Spiritual Wellness and Physical Wellness

Spiritual Wellness is a personal matter involving values and beliefs that provide a purpose in our lives. It is finding healing within the mind and body, while you try to balance the demands and needs of the world. Physical Wellness is the aspect of life trying to develop a physically fit body and maintain a healthy diet. I am not big on the spiritual wellness part yet but I am learning some great things and am starting to learn to use them in my everyday life. I am big on physical wellness, I am always working out and trying to maintain a fit body. I am always trying to help others become aware of what they are eating and guide them in the right direction.
