Just notified that meditating Tuesday for 1/2 hour with Ta is canceled. She is being held in the Crisis Intervention Unit and will not be attending the meditation session on Wednesday.
Backing up 6 hours
Lo and I had a brief MFY Coaching call, 33 minutes. The ability to have such intensive and relevant dialogue transcended the experience from helpful to indispensable. Lo has the ability to stop me, ask a question, go into a deeper place of understanding and then make suggestions in not an overbearing way.
So we came up with a plan for this 1/2 hour+ session. Any meditation that can be used in a stressful situation.
- A moment for me
- Soft, soothing touch.
- Walking meditation
- Here now stone
I told her the story about Ja who took her stone with her to a meeting she thought was going to be bad for her and it wasn’t. But she used it to settle herself down.
This is a good point to review which meditations to use and when.
Back to a meeting with Su, Kr and myself. I made the point that my experience teaching changed because she was not in the room. Ta is going to be assessed. Ta had slammed her knuckle into the wall and broke it. We unanimously decided to keep her in the class, as long as she did not disturb the others.
