He is the strongest person that I know and I have a great deal of respect, adoration and love for him. Thoughts of him inspire me to want to be a better person, and he helps me to instill thoughts of hope in everything that I do. He is truly an inspiration. <br /><br />I really liked the quote about not leading someone somewhere that you have not gone yourself. I immediately thought to this pediatrician that I know from work who has no children! I certainly appreciate his thoughts and knowledge from the medicinal standpoint, but when he tries to tell a parent how to raise their child it makes me raise my eyebrows a little bit!<br /><br />Thanks for the great post!meltarnowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14416517431758021491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8738633319488818986.post-24226100254184569052011-01-04T08:31:24.227-08:002011-01-04T08:31:24.227-08:00Subrina:

My mentor wasn't known but she had a very wise and comforting presence. I agree it takes discipline to continue to practice the mindfulness exercises. This could be another requirement to "walk the walk" during our practice as wellness professionals.<br /><br />Thanks for your wonderful contribution.Rosie the Health Nuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01155042018227199022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8738633319488818986.post-31446244794299249682011-01-03T06:11:12.858-08:002011-01-03T06:11:12.858-08:00Hi Subrina,

My father, who passed from lung cancer in May 2005 was the mentor I chose. I was very close with my father and during this meditation, I felt his strength, love and energy that came from him. It was an experience I had not felt before. An awesome exercise!

I felt very connected to the person I pictured in the meditation and gained immense strength and energy from the exercise. <br />I also agree with you that in order to be successful in our lives on a holistic level, we must practice what we preach. We must show our clients that we are doing the same actions and exercises to obtain integral health that we educate them on and teach them to do. If we do not, their success will not be as great and our success will continue to elude us. <br />Great post!SarahBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03583203505374221859noreply@blogger.com
