Meeting Aesclepius mp3

I listened to this Mp3 and it took me awhile to get comfortable.  In general, meditation is tough for me to get into.  Right now, I am just really thinking about the million things I want to do today before my fiance' and I get massages.  So, my main focus right now is to finish this blog. Lol.  Listening to the Mp3, I was already thinking about how long this was going to take and what I could be doing instead of this.  So first thing first, if you are going to practice mindfulness meditation, not only make sure you have the physical time to do so, but the mental time.  However, the ocean sounds did relax me for a few moments.  I am leaving for Cancun in a couple of weeks and I was already visioning myself on my vacation. And then when I was told to vision someone special, I began to think of my Mother.  She is my best friend, and once I began thinking of her, I was completely at ease for a few moments.

Mindfulness meditation has not fostered my psychological or spiritual wellness because I wont allow it to.  Although I think these things we are learning is beneficial.  It is simply not a priority for me right now.  Perhaps in the future when I am really ready to give this shot, I will be able to appreciate the benefits.  However, right now it is just a class and has really nothing to do with what I am interested in, which is fitness and nutrition.  In the event I am ready to really try this, I suspect I could try mindfulness meditation on a daily basis.  It looks like it really needs five or ten minutes out of your day.  I could incorporate some mindfulness practices in my daily routine if I choose to.

Describe the saying, "one cannot lead another, where one has not gone himself."  This is pretty self explanatory to me.  Basically, people shouldn't advise other people on their lives without having the knowledge or experience themselves.  It is best to keep our mouths closed before we tell others what to do when we truly don't have the experience or knowledge to do so.
