| Client/Group progress summary | She didn’t practice affirmations or read the article about Kirtan Kriya but practiced the Kriya meditation mentally on the subway. She said it is very difficult to let the thoughts go and concentrate on the breath. She still has difficulty with belly breathing. She said she has some grudge against girls in College and she will try to apply this technique. Try to change how she thinks about them. I suggested she could visualize them as little kids that don’t know what they are doing, or that they’re sick and need help. Devi, Nischala Joy. The Secret Power of Yoga: A Woman's Guide to the Heart and Spirit of the Yoga Sutras (p. 174). She was very uncomfortable during meditation when she thought about "being stressed". She thought about the situation, not just the word, which triggered her. I asked her to go to the opposite (peace) and she felt better. |
| Reflection and self-evaluation | We talked about Pradipaksa Bhavana for about 35 minutes, so we didn’t have time for everything. One hour is too short, but it’s all she has. |
| Final Client/Group Report | After seeing your client/group (for at least 4 sessions including interactive intake) Please remember practicum is a learning experience. You’ll learn more from sharing what’s accurate than from what might “look good”. Things you did well, not so well, problems and questions are all valid and useful tools to teach you. We can’t serve you to become the best clinician you can be if you don’t share your challenges and mistakes. Success is anything from which you learn. You can continue to add Session entries after submitting this Final Client/Group Report. |
