The saying, "One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself" refers to the idea that it is imperative in integral healing to live the lifestyle that you are prescribing. In other words, do not simply string together a series of meaningless words in order to appease the patient. Instead, be the example; be the leader so that the patients can follow.
It is very important in the health and wellness field. Clients will usually not want to take advise from an individual who is not following the lifestyle suggested. This is the same as a fitness professional or personal trainer advising someone on how to lose weight when they are overweight themselves. I believe that health and wellness professionals have a responsibility to their clients to be that example. This applies whether they are a personal trainer, a psychologist, etc. One cannot expect change from a client if that change is not being seen in yourself.
To implement psychological and spiritual growth in one's personal life all that must be done is to make the effort. Simple as that. That is the thing. Usually the hardest questions to answer in life have the simplest answers. A lot can be produced simply from making the effort to grow. One must look inside their self and find the inner health and grow from there.
