Asclepius

I must say that I wasn't overly excited about trying this particular exercise. Maybe because of the stress I have been under lately, maybe because I still feel worn out, maybe...maybe...maybe. That's when I realized that I was getting in my own way (again). I was letting all of my outside stress affect my inside peace. I finally thought of my step-dad, Jim, as someone that I might envision for the exercise and gave it a go. Unfortunately I just couldn't seem to make it work with him. I'm not quite sure why as he exudes love, kindness, understanding and peace...but no luck. It took a bit to think of someone else that could fit the bill, but I finally settles upon combining the exercise with my religion. St. Francis of Assisi is the patron saint of peace and is a personal favorite of mine...I would envision him and see what happened. it wasn't easy, but after a couple of tries I did manage to make it work for me relatively well. It was hard to feel as if I contained all of the qualities of such a man, but I feel as if I was at least moderately successful. I did sleep very well that night and felt rejuvenated in the morning so i will certainly be giving this one another try.
