During our time together we have explored many helpful and interesting techniques. I have enjoyed all of them. They have allowed me to push myself and reassess what techniques I was using and if they were indeed helpful. While I enjoyed all the practices; my favorite two were the Meeting Aesclepius and the Loving Kindness. I found that these two practices worked best for my sometimes very restless mind. Loving Kindness allowed me to accept that I have to send loving energy to myself and to others. It was not that I do not do this, but in the course of life sometimes we focus on others so much that we forget it is our duty to heal thy self.
The Meeting Aesclepius exercise is wonderful and worked well for me (once I got the house to myself). But this practice invited my busy mind to create and heal at the same time. In focusing to create and see what it was I was asked to I was able to turn off the chatter in my mind and give all my attention to my practice.
I would recommend both of these practices. I would especially offer the Loving Kindness meditation to my domestic violence clients. I think this exercise could help them to work through some of the immediate and unresolved issues in their lives and allow them to be empowered. The Meeting Aesclepius exercise I would offer to those clients that like me have a hard time just “going blank”… for meditative purposes.

Jamillah,
ReplyDeleteYey you for getting some quiet time to appreciate the meditations. I know how hard it is to get just those few precious moments alone.
I'm really just starting to be more aware of the deeper effects of meditation. I believe I'm starting to get to a different level of consciousness I wasn't capable of before. It's a little intimidating, I must admit. If my friends didn't think I was woo woo before, they definitely will now!
I would love to hear how your clients respond to these meditations. I had difficulty with just a few of mine accepting meditation. I would love for you to keep me updated.
Be well, my friend.
Jamillah! I am so glad to hear that you were able to do the meeting aescelpius exercize! (I think it was you that I was talking to about it being hard to find the time right?)I love the idea of using the loving kindness exercize for your clients. That could work so well. I would love to see a study on that preformed. It can be very hard to go blank, yet this exercize shows us that there is a way to breathe and relax and all things will come in time. I am so glad that you liked it! I have loved reading your posts! This class has gone so fast! Sara

I think you will help all your clients that come into your life, I hope one day I would be so privileged to be in your presence, I see the light and the love burns deep and it burns bright for those around you, the ones you love and know and the ones you have yet to meet. You have a special gift and I know you are utilizing it girl! You are a beautiful soul and gentle spirit, I'm glad I had the pleasure and honor to know you through this class.
