UNIT 7 - MEETING ASCIEPIUS EXERCISE

The exercise was very interesting and I actually learned something about myself while I was practicing it. As the narrator instructed, I was trying to think of a wise person I respect and honor, but I couldn’t think of anybody in particular so I created one as she suggested. I thought of the different characteristics that this person should have, and as I was following the exercise, I was reciting each characteristic in my head. Then, each characteristic transformed into energy represented by different colors, and as the colors came together, they started to take shape. Then, the image transformed into a distant silhouette that started to get closer and closer. At first, I wasn’t able to distinguish the person, but as the image got closer, I was able to see that it was a woman. She had long hair, thin figure, not too tall, and she was dressed in white. I couldn’t see her face yet, but I could certainly feel her calming energy. Her voice became my voice so my speech could become loving, wise, and sensitive. Then, the beam of light that came from her heart entered mine so I could fill my heart with kindness, love, and compassion. Next, she left my body and transformed into a light that became a being. When I looked into her eyes to see who she was, I saw myself. My eyes were filled of joy, and my soul was overflowed with peace and I was able to experience those feelings as I looked into her eyes. Indeed, this essence became my inner guide, healer, and gift giver. This was an amazing experience, and the first time I was able to submerge so deeply into an exercise. Thus, I plan on practicing it more often. As Dacher explained, mastering these skills will take practice and I am staring to see the great benefits of these exercises.
