I found this mediation very hard to do.  I have a hard time with mental visualizations.  My mind’s eye doesn’t work, perhaps it needs glasses.  I throughout my week will do breathing meditation, where I release stress and anger through exhaling out it.  Which seems to work for me.  Or I do what I call healing mediation.  Where I can exhale out the pain from my body.  For these techniques I learnt from Doreen Virtue.

The line “One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself,” means so much to me.  In simplest terms;  You can’t tell someone else how to do something without having been there themselves. 

    For me this mean (as working towards a degree in nutrition), I can not advise someone on their nutrition intake, if I am sitting there eating pizza, and burgers, and drinking a beer.  That just is not fair.  Although it sounds yummy (and probably comes with a tummy ache too).  I can’t say to someone to replace junk food with fresh fruit and veggies, if I don’t do it myself.

  1. I completely understand your frustration with your active thinking and mind during meditative practices. I can understand only thought during those sessions that required us to think and be positive towards individuals that I did not know or love. That sounds very shallow to me so I have been trying very hard to work on my maturation process when it comes to my spiritual wellness. Also, your interpretation of that saying is spot on, I also feel that it is almost hypocritical to promote a way of life that one must follow, but no doing so yourself. Good luck in your future spiritual and meditative practices!
