Unit 7 Exercise Meeting Aeslcepius:
As I listened to the audio the first person who came to mind was my husband. He is my night and shinning armor and the rock in my life. This past week has not had much meditation time for me, my mom had surgery so we have spent a lot of time at the hospital and going back and fourth. My husband has been my rock through all of this, he has so much wisdom and courage as we move forward in life and gives me so much encouragement.
So as I listened to the audio I realized that he is the one that gets me through each day as we walk through life ( other then our God being with us and guiding us). When I did get the chance to listen to the audio it was early this morning here at the hospital with my mom while she was resting. I was falling in and out of sleep and feeling the comfort of my husband there beside me even with him being at home. I was able to just clear my mind and just listen to the ocean as I just truly relaxed. I think this is the first time I have really ever just truly relaxed. It was awsome.

Hi Jackie,
ReplyDeleteLet me start off by saying, I hope your mother is doing better. It is a great source of stress when someone close to us is ill. I am also grateful that you were able to find peace through your husband (even without him in the room). That to me, is one of God's greatest blessings. We are able to share loving, peaceful and even stressful times by ourselves with someone else who does not need to be sitting beside us. What a gift. I think about people who are lost, and alone. Whether they are children adults or elderly folks; there is no age limit on lost. I am sure many of them have not realized or been taught that somewhere out there is someone they can look up to (a role model). I guess we just need to feel that we are worthy of letting that person into our heart, and lives.
I can remember when my daughter Lindsey was litte. We watched the movie "The American Tale." Although she was very young, I was so impressed that she was able to get the message. The movie was about a family of mice who came to America. When they reached this great shore, somehow "Fival" the young boy mouse got seperated from his family. What he and is sister found was that they could always connect and say good night when the moon came up (because they knew that there was only one moon and they were looking at it at the same time). The amazing thing about the lesson in this movie was how when Bill and I had to travel and leave her behind with my parents. She would alway ask us to say good night when we saw the moon.
This process is the same thing that we are learning about. It is to be able to connect with a force that no one can take away. It is our hearts memory of those we love and admire that we can hold onto whether they are here with us or not.
Thank you for the post my friend.
I will say good night to you when the moon comes up. and I will ask God to bless you and your family.
Bliss & Blessing

I really enjoyed reading your post. It is nice to hear that a husband is someone’s knight in shining armor still. I hope your mom is doing well. I know how hard it is to fit meditation in to a crazy life especially when unexpected things happen. My dad just went through surgery a few weeks ago as well and it was hard to think about doing school work.
ReplyDeleteI think there is something about the ocean that just gives the calming feeling no matter how stressed we truly are. I can just imagine the state of relaxation you must have experienced. Do you think this exercise is one you will use many times just because of the state of relaxation you felt?
Hi Jackie,
ReplyDeleteHope your mom has a speedy recovery and is doing well. What I liked most about this exercise was that it allowed me to feel every aspect of my feelings and how I visualize my soul mate. Not only did I feel the goodness of our times spent together but it took me through different stages of our lifetime leading up until now. At the end, I couldn't fully see the white light. It was like it was trying to peak through some darkness but it wasn't able to fully come through. Your connection of feeling that your husband was beside you shows that his heart and soul is always with you. Take acre and God Bless you and your family.

I think it is great that your husband was who you thought of during this exercise. It shows who close you must be and how much you trust him and his judgement. Sometimes when I am having a difficult day I can picture my husband with me and it makes it better even if he is several miles away. It is like I feel his support.
ReplyDeleteI hope your mother is better now. It is difficult when people that we are close to are not well.
Take care!!!
Hi Jackie! It's great that you were able to connect with your "at home" husband while relaxing, and it's even better that you were able to relax with your mom in the hospital. At times like these, we often feel as if we need to constantly be doing something, but the realization of your husband's strength being there for you is good for your spiritual well-being. Try to keep taking these moments for yourself, and you'll be better prepared to help your mom! Good luck and hang in there!

ReplyDeleteHope that your mother is doing well and recovery is fast. It is nice that you are able to have a "rock' in your life, it is very important. Thinking of your husband during this and making the connection is great. I know that after several years of being with someone it can be hard to stay connected.
Best wishes~

Hello Jackie,
ReplyDeleteWow, you touched my heart with your words. I am 27 years old and I have never been married, but I would love to be blessed with my future husband. It should be great to have someone beside you supporting you in the good and bad times. I congratulate you for it, and may God continue blessing you and all your family. I hope your mom get well soon; thank you so much for sharing your experience, you really made me think on what I would like in my life.
God bless you,
Yesica Gonzalez.
