This
week I found the meditative exercise difficult to stay on track. When
beginning, I was able to focus on my father, who to me was always a wise man in
my eyes. However, I found other thoughts invading my thought pattern of focusing
on this image. I had difficulty in imaging the beams of light. At the end of
this exercise, I was gaining a better handle on controlling my mind and felt
better about myself. By maintaining a continual meditation, I feel that I will
be able to increase all areas of wellness in my life.
The
saying “One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself” implies that
unless someone has experienced an event or feeling, they are not able to help
someone going through a similar but not exact event. The best way I can explain
this is that everyone was to give advice about dealing with the loss of a loved
one. Since I have been and am still going through dealing with the loss of my
son, I have been offered a lot of assistance from those who have lost a loved
one, but I found the most comfort from was those who had lost a child of their
own. Applying this in the health care setting, one must only give advice or
direction that they have experienced or gone. This could become an issue in the
patient having trust issues with their health care provider.
