Client/Group progress summary	Client was able to do the home practices couple of time between the time we met. Encouraged to do one more sitting than last week. Client likes to add one more session and we are planning to meet twice weekly.
Reflection and self-evaluation	I am really breaking down the practices and wisdom teachings to small bite size. I see improvements in my teaching approach and delivering the practices to the client's level.
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.
Plan for next session	Focus on the same routine like this session with a different meditation practice apart from chanting.
Report briefly on each Kosha below	Progress toward wellness or worsening reported by the client/group or that you observed in the following areas
