Exercises and Practices
I believe in all of the exercises that we have done, I like the visualization exercises and also the Meeting Aesclepius exercise. Like I mentioned before in my previous post, I felt like I could connect one to one with my guide in the Aesclepius exercise. It was very interesting to be able to do that. Secondly, I really like visualization exercises. I feel like in connecting visually to wherever I am going, it opens my mind up for more expansion. As far as exercises, I really love meditation and yoga.
Ironically, another activity or exercise that I do that fosters mental fitness is through walking with music on. I get so many good ideas when I am walking with music on. Music motivates me and when I feel good, it opens the channels for creativity and love to flow. I usually carry a notebook with me, in the car, so that when I get finished walking, I can just write down the ideas I had. There are so many ways to foster mental fitness and as we grow, I believe this ways also change. As we mature, we take on new activities and drop other ones. We find growth and development in many things not just specific ones as we grow and develop. Matter of fact, the world becomes a gigantic playground and learning environment. At least that is how I see it.
I believe the next challenge in life, for me, to help me truly foster growth and awareness is going to be through teaching others. I have started doing intuitive counseling sessions for others and I will soon be holding seminars for others on how to tap in and connect to their woman within. A good friend of mine and I are going to start teaching these seminars in the New Orleans area and plan to hold classes online too for women. As I teach childbirth education class, I try to incorporate wellness within those moments going beyond what happens "in labor," to teaching women, overall, how to listen to their bodies and their babies needs during labor. So, I feel like my next path is teaching and expanding the awareness of women within my community. I also teach CPR and I am trying to find a way to teaching CPR and incorporate what else happens during a rescue and how to process the experience. I have a lot of expansion coming up. ((Smiles)).

Hi Heidi,
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your blog and your writings, very inspiring. It is awesome that you were able to connect with one of your guides during the exercise, I have yet to create a visual let alone a figure I could recognize as a being. I see mostly colors, white light, stars, and amazing color patterns. Visualization is also one of the exercises I chose to focus on in order to help me be able to better visualize actual things. I loved your statement about seeing the world as a big playground; life is about experiences, both bad and good, and growing from there. Best of luck as you follow your path and continue on your journey towards helping and educating others.

I love the idea of using music. I think I can somewhat relate. I love nothing more than to get in the car, roll the windows down and turn on some of my favorite songs. It is almost like a mini escape. My head clears and I focus on the music and how it makes me feel. I think taking a walk with some good music could be a great exercise for me to practice. Thanks so much for sharing this week!
