Client/Group progress summary
B hears sometimes a buzzing in her years and asked if it could be stress-related. I said it could be stress-related but she needed to see a physician because this can be a symptom of other issues too. C kept her camera off. N also kept her camera off.
Reflection and self-evaluation
These students have been practicing yoga for a long time and some of them have the habit of keeping the camera off. I told them I could not help them this way. Let’s see from now on.
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
Check-in
Yoga Philosophy: Our true nature is experienced in a calm mind state (citta-prasādanam). Yoga can help (Yogas Citta Vritti nirodha)
The thoughts are like clouds in the sky of our mind that stop us from seeing who we really are.
In the svadhisthana chakra, we experience sensations in the body, but know that we are not the thoughts or the sensations. We are SAT CHIT ANANDA.
Relaxation response and stress: Observing sensations in the body (interoception) helps to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which quiets the mind, and allows us to experience our true nature.
The Svadhisthana chakra is blocked by BLAME. Unblock it with the ability to experience joy and pleasure, self-care, and emotional intelligence.
CENTERING:
Observe your breath and sensations in the body.
