Reflection and self-evaluation	Client was fatigued, did not sleep well the night before. Pain level low. Eager to stretch and meditate, prepare for their afternoon. Bring in wisdom teachings, maybe through choice of meditation, mantra. Choose a couple of mantras for the client, see what resonates with them. Offer an accompanying image to go with the mantra.

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	As per last session. Discuss mantra repetition. Travel awareness through the body guided relaxation.
