Homework assignment to client/group

Same as 04/11, and incorporate the fluidity of the water element in the movements.

Activities

Seated warm-up and stretches. Client is not comfortable lying on floor and camera set-up for this arrangement is not feasible. Will incorporate seated and standing practices only for her. As per care plan: same without supine sequence. For guided relaxation, I led the client through Joseph LePage’s Soothing Inner Tide Pool meditation incorporating the water element to sooth and heal. Also incorporated the Matsya mudra from the LePage Mudras book, pp 66-67.

Client/Group progress summary

The client is showing me some of their favorite seated stretches (figure 4 legs is one) and I am introducing some spinal stretches and standing psoas stretches. Depending on the day, the client’s pain level varies. The stretching and guided relaxation as a break in her workday fortifies her for the afternoon and evening client meetings.

Reflection and self-evaluation

Keep supplementing the practices the client already enjoys. Build on her go to practices.

Final Client/Group ReportAfter 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

Seated stretches with breath connection, quiet ujjayi pranayama. Try a 61 points guided relaxation with points of healing blue light, resting in rose color light. Both colors of healing and compassion.
