Gratitude Project 9/19 & 9/20
For yesterday, I'm thankful that I was able to get together with the one student who missed last week's Reiki class and get her caught up so she could join in starting today.
For today, I'm grateful that the chakra yoga went well. I tried doing an adaptation of Anodea Judith's chakra sun salutations. Since six out of the eight students do yoga on a regular basis, I thought it would be a good idea to be a tad more challenging. And it went really well. I ran way over the scheduled class time, but it went well. I do still need to communicate better the *point* to the chakra work, though. I keep saying (over, and over, ad nauseam I thought) that the point to this unit in Reiki I is to familiarize you with your body's own energy system before you start working on it with Reiki. But every time, there's someone who asks if they should be doing this with people they do Reiki on. Argh! Somewhat less grateful about that part.
