Seeing as Asclepius is the Greek god of Healing, the wise person I visualized was the ultimate. In the end, I experienced a more heartfelt acceptance for things being the way they are. I was calmer and noticed I wasn’t so quick to speak when I conversed with people afterward; rather I tried to gain an understanding of their thoughts yet continued with confidence in my words.
The saying “One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself” is just like the question “How can you help take a splinter out of another’s eye when you have a log in your own?” You can’t show the correct path to someone else if you don’t fully understand it yourself. I do believe that one must be obligated to develop and evolve them before tending to their clients or patients; otherwise one might put themselves at a higher level of standard and create a barrier for optimum healing. The other must feel it too.
To encourage my psychological and spiritual growth, I actually just got back from a community focus meeting from church. Our aim is to try and reach out to the community next door and show them the light. I believe that not only will these people be transformed through loving-kindness, but we as a team and ourselves individually will also flourish, learn and grow from this experience as well.
