I'm with Maize! I wish I could go!

Let us know how it went!

 

[kreeden]

Busy ? While meditating ?

You will do great Master V. Enjoy .

 

[Lightkeeper]

I was going to ask the same thing. Isn't meditation about being unbusy.

Hope it goes well MV. Good for you!

 

[michel]

Hope all goes well for you, Master V; wish I could be there too!!!!!!!!

 

[robtex]

That is such a good thing you are doing. It is a postitive skillset for people to have in a fast past world. Tell us about it tomarrow..!

 

[cfer]

I'm with everyone else. I wish I could be there.

Good luck with your first class. I'm sure you'll do great and that your students will thoroughly enjoy (and invigorate) themselves with your expert instrcution.

 

[Lightkeeper]

Maybe you could tell us some of your techniques here, since everyone wants to be in your class.

Thanks everyone!!!!!! Well, tonight I'm going to be going over the basic philosophies in taoist and buddhist meditations. I won't have them actually meditate until next week. Unless they want to try tonight, but I have so much to say first. I printed out an ouline that turned out to be 3 pages (I didn't think I could teach that much ) I will definitely tell you all tomorrow, well probably tonight, how it went. Thanks for all the support!!!!!

 

[Prima]

I think we're almost as excited as you are! *bounces up and down* Tell us all about it! I definitely would love to be there, I think I'd learn a lot. Hey! can you put the outline on here? that would be cool And definitely tell us how it went!

 

[Jaymes]

Good luck, Vigil! Can't wait to hear how it goes

 

[Master Vigil]

HEY EVERYONE!!!!! I just got back!!!! It went very well. I was able to let them experience a little with chi, and was able to teach them some of taoist philosophy. I went over the concept of the yin yang, lao tzu and the tao te ching, I discussed wu wei, p'u, and energy spheres (which really isn't taoist). But overall I think they really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to next week, cuz thats when I'm actually gonna teach them to meditate. So hopefully it all goes well. Thanks for the support everyone!!!! I wish I had schools everywhere so that you all could learn. Maybe someday!!!

I'm glad to hear it went well! I hope things go well next week too. It's probably a good thing I won't be there I'm so bad at meditation, I'd probably laugh the whole time!

Yeah! Can you post that outline somewhere? I'm sure there's quite a few people on here who would love to see it.

I'm glad it went well. Your enthusiasm for it is terribly contagious. I can tell you're a wonderful teacher because you are very patient, enthusiastic and really into your subject matter.

Keep up the enthusiasm!

 

[Master Vigil]

I typed up an overview today at work, it ended up being 3 pages.

It would take forever to type on here, but maybe I'll try either later tonight, or tomorrow.

 

[Prima]

That's why you copy and paste it from where you typed it earlier

Congratulations - I'm so glad it went well! Don't forget to tell us about next week!

 

[martha]

We are all so happy and excited for you. I got a big laugh when I read in another post where one of your students was an old lady who kept asking you to speak up. Perhaps you should have her sit in front by you so she can hear better and you don't have to shout. A loud voice during meditation seems to defeat the purpose.

Blessings to you, Master. I wish I was there too.

Joyfully,
Martha

Not to steal MV's thunder, but this is somewhat related.... the front page story on my hometown newspaper this week (yes, only once a week), is a story about the local Yoga instructor feels she is being unfairly targeted by preachers who have been telling the members of their churches not to do Yoga because it is promoting Buddhism, and one even said it is Satanic. Gotta love small town America. It would be funny if it weren't so blatantly ignorant. I think I'll go join her classes just to spite them, (even though I can go to free ones at church ).

I hope you don't have to deal with anything like this, MV.

I feel a letter to the editor coming on.... :jam:
