Hello Everyone,
My meditative practices for the week have been more in the form of prayer. Mindfulness has allowed me to become aware of the moments when I need to pray more in depth. This allows me to focus on areas of my life that need work. I feel more at ease and I feel like there's a brighter day ahead after praying. I also noticed my husband praying one day.
"One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself" simply means to practice what you preach. How can an individual teach anything if they haven't had any education or experience in that particular subject? How can I show you where to go if I have not been there before? We must incorporate everything we're doing in class into our daily lives if we want to help heal the world. To be quite honest, I never thought a class could help so much on a personal level but everything I've read and the exercises we've completed have allowed me to start on the path in becoming a better person overall.

Hi Katrice,
ReplyDeletePractice what you preach is a great choice of words to describe "One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself". You are right though, how can you teach someone something if you know nothing about it or haven't experienced it yourself? I can't teach someone how to train a dog if I haven't even tried to do it before. That person would just look at me and have no faith in anything I was saying to them.
