Unit 9


Why is it crucial for professionals in the health and wellness field to incorporate integral health practices into their own lives?

It is crucial for professionals in the health and wellness field to incorporate integral health practices into their own lives so that they know what is possible before they try to teach others. Dacher states that it is not only through book learning but through hands on experience that we become agents of a more expansive health. By incorporating the integral process into our own lives we will discover the profound possibilities of integral health and healing. We need to lead by example since our clients are not going to want to follow our direction if it does not seem that we are flourishing. No one is going to take dietary advice from an overweight person or addiction advice from a smoker. You need to live it to help others learn it. I need to work more on my psychological aspect of health. Although through this course I have decreased my stress levels. I still have a tendency to stress out. I find myself clenching my fists and have to force myself to relax. I believe that through meditation I will be able to achieve a less stressful demeanor.
