Several years back, my
mother suffered from several three simultaneously. When she finally came out of coma after several
months, she was never the same. At some
times she had the personality of a eight year old, while others she had slipped
back into coma. Unfortunately, living
hundreds of miles away and with extremely demanding and not so hefty resources
I was unable to spend nearly as much time with her as I desired. After four years of suffering through the “miracle
of medicine”, she finally passed. After several
attempts at the assigned meditation, I could no longer continue the MP3 as the
only images which would surface were of her where I practiced the imagery as
the MP3 directed. Needless to say, the
experience was far too emotional to describe as she was my guiding light and
confidant. So, I can’t say with any
accuracy how I could continue these practices to gain greater health and
wellness until I come to terms and forgive myself for not being there for her
as she had been for me.
Throughout my career as a supervisor
and a leader, I have always had the philosophy of not assigning a detail or
duty on someone if I had never performed myself. To me, this is the same, how can a health and
wellness professional prescribe a particular treatment or practice, if they do
not subscribe to the same disciplines. As
I am not a health and wellness professional and chances are, will not be, I can
only apply this to being a teacher or a civilian military technical instructor
which in many cases can probably help with the issues young troops develop when
they are out on their own living a life they have probably never have
imagined. On a side not, you would be
surprised on the interesting issues young troops suffer from. How can I apply this to my personal
life? I would say, think higher. Instead of living the two dimensional life I
have been living for years, raise my consciousness and really see and
experience the world around me and live it instead of it living me.
