Epilogue: Yet The Wellness Journey Continues
You know, I realize after pursuing my post in three, I didn't actually rate myself numerically; however, at the time I was writing it I would have given myself a 5.5. Since the inception of class and the intensity of the subject matter I can honestly say I have made some significant improvement. I've been doing extensive research, found some new answers for some old questions and actually feel some improvement. My score has changed due to a number of components biofeedback, prayer, dietary changes along with a daily walk and my daily meditation. Although it has been about 7 weeks I can feel a noticeable improvement in areas that were troubling me before, I have even stopped taking a medication and have replaced it with a natural remedy and I can feel the difference. I would score myself a 7 now and know that I will have considerable improvement as time progresses. I have implemented most of the therapies I mentioned in 3 with one or two exceptions, reason being financial ones, but what I've done is compensated by doing more of what I can, thus walking more and combining the walking as physical exercise and mindful meditation simultaneously. Overall the course has been a very gratifying experience. Initially coming into it I knew nothing of the Asclepius model; however, after reading and learning of it I was very excited. I too plan to have a healing sanctuary which I've been planning for several years, the concept I have in mind is very similar to the Asclepius model which confirmed that I am on the correct path. Wholeness has always been a very important component of my life, I have always been interested in alternative healing, health and wellness, and taking this course only goes to prove how significant a path and journey I am on. It is as if we are "going back to the future" and I find the direction we're going absolutely exhilarating. The paradigm shift, the elevation on consciousness is an exciting departure from what we have known, The Noetic sciences, Ken Wilbur's teachings and foundation, as well as CAM and the Integral model, is encouraging to say the least. It is a young field and I am honored to be a part of such an incredible shift in consciousness and to be living at such a time as this. Our culture is moving in the direction of healing it is a wonderful experience and one that will be beneficial for all who apply it's principles.

Great job Johnnie. I think we have all grown in some way or another whether we see it or not.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to read about your advancement on the path to wellness. It seems we have all had a great paradigm shift, only for the better. It is really nice to see that there is a way beyond what we previously knew in order to find true wellness and happiness. Good luck to you. Namaste'
ReplyDeleteWell Johnnie, I already said my farewell on the unit 10 post, so I once again enjoyed reading that you have found some additional peace by attending this course.

Hi Johnnie,
ReplyDeleteI like the "back to the future" comparison. What we are doing seems to be new to us, but everything we read goes back to ancient times. It is like digging up old fossile remains and trying to figure out what happened long ago. I think a lot of the answers we already knew, we just did not know the right questions or how they applied to our lives. I also think we improved in all of these areas because we went searching for a better way or truth. I am presently surprised at what I learned as I can read that you are also, but on top of it, we have been provided with tapes, websites and textbooks to refer back to if we feel like we are loosing our way. Your final statement "our culture is moving in a healing direction" very comforting. It is good to hear something positive is happening in the midst of so much unrest. Continue to be blessed with all your endeavors. Much Love, Theressa
