Thank You Grandma

Listen to “Meeting Asciepius” from Dacher CD was a revisit of an experience I had four years ago.  I went to an Indian sweet ceremony that lasted for hours.  The same vision I experienced in the ceremony was the same experience in our exercise.  My guardian angel is my great, great, grand grandmother who was a Native medicine woman.  She has spoken to me many times before in my sleep.  At first I thought I was going crazy, but she appeared again in this exercise.  I know now she is my guardian angle, my spirit guide, and my communications to a higher being.  I am still learning how to listen to her, all thou it has been difficult to calm my thoughts down to listen to her.  I keep questioning what is happening instead of witnessing my thoughts of my thinking mind.  I see it now.  I understand I have to continue to practice daily and focus my efforts to maintain myself as an observer inside and outside.  I have made improvements, but it has been difficult to master.  I have improved switching my attentions from noisy thoughts to the movement of my breath.  I have also leaned to loosen my grip of past and current events during the process of witnessing the moment.  I feel a lot more relaxed and calm during the rest of my day after doing this exercise, yet I still need to continue this journey.  Work in progress.  Awesome!

The say “One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself” is like a travel agent standing in front of you, telling you about a wonderful white sandy beach with a beautiful sun set view, while he looks past your head focusing on a poster on the wall behind you.  He describes a picture and cannot resonate with the experience of be there. Than you take his advice and find yourself in a swamp of muddy waters in an unsafe place that no man should be, fearing for your life and being mad later.

We do have an obligation to our clients to express our psychological health, physical practice, and spiritual experiences as a resource of what we know to be true and using those experiences as a tool to reflect possibilities for others who are open minded to explore. To implement my personal life of psychological and spiritual health and wellness is to mentally prepare my mind to be physically active, guided by my spiritual path daily.
