Unit 7: Inner Aesclepius

I went very deep into this meditation for several minutes and I was very surprised at the teachers I found waiting for me there: DaVinci and the Dalai Lama. I was surprised and delighted by these energies! The exercise wanted us to focus on one and it was Leonardo that came across first and was the closest to me, but the Dalai Lama was insistent on his essence being present as well. He was further away, but very present. This was a very exciting exercise because I realized that in order to bring these masters to me, I must resonate with their energies. I am a creative thinker and love the art and beauty of the world around me which both of these teachers also are but in expressed in different ways. This gives me a new found belief in myself, what I can do, and who I am. When I start to feel lost, I just have to remember this exercise and join with my mentors in order to work out a solution.

I believe in mentors and I have had many in my life. Gratefully, I have been able to learn much from these mentors, whether from direct contact or from their teachings in books and online lectures. It is these teachings that affirms my own beliefs and strengthens my reserves when I start to doubt. The reason I find myself trusting them is because they speak from their own experience which parallels mine. I can learn from the lessons they have already learned. In turn, I use my own experience to help others through their struggles. As a massage therapist, I constantly find myself being a mentor as well as a practitioner. My massage table doubles as a therapy couch during many, many sessions. I believe that by developing and working on my integral health, I am able to offer more guidance and assistance to my clients, friends, and family. I just have to keep working on myself and keep focused on finding my peace. The process will continue to evolve and adapt, but it has been an interesting ride so far and I am no where near done yet.
