I had a hard time coming up with an image of a wise person that I can connect; with the exception of one of my previous professors I had Prof. Earon Davis. Even though I never met him I used his image, and in particular, his relaxing and wise sounding voice.  With the waves in the back ground and my image I open up and had a since of no responsibilities but only to myself. This is always a refreshing moment and important for integral health.  
In my opinion leading by example is the strongest possible qualification to a wellness professional.  Education and practicing your own profession will make you a better counselor because, more often than not, you’ve walked that path your clients want to go.  Practicing meditation or prayer on a daily basis can help you understand yourself through life’s up and downs.  Re-centering yourself from time to time is very important to do before you can counsel some as a professional.
