I had a lot of difficulty with this meditation. I often struggle with voice-led meditations such as this because I find myself focusing more on the voice than the instructions it's giving, and find it distracting. I have also lost a number of very dear friends and family in my life, and I found it difficult to choose one to focus on. This kind of makes me sad because for each person I could have chosen, there is so much that I would have liked to have said to them, or wisdom I wish I could have gotten from them.
I fully agree with the statement, "One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself." I believe in the practice of "Practice what you preach." I feel anything else is hypocritical. I don't believe I have any right to tell someone they should do XYZ, if I do not or would not do the same myself. I also know I get angry when someone tries to tell me to do or not do something, yet they do the exact opposite, so why would I want to do that to someone else?
