You can make a little sign in at your front door and make you walk back in the morning. All sorts of things. It's a matter of what it would work. What triggers, what stimulates an internal activity that stimulates the intentionality and discernment. And do remember that in a way, we're already making our best effort of being alive. Hold your light just as it is with respect. It's very helpful to do that. This is a careful, respectful inquiry into who we are and how to bring into that an additive weapon.

[01:04]

Again, kindness, respect, patience, all those wonderful qualities, generosity, all those positive qualities, they're all part of the nurture of the psychology. It's very important to remember that. Self-criticism, guilt, shame, blame. They won't keep you going away culturally and deep respect and sincerity through it all. That's what will be in here to try to remember that you work. And then you take on the next couple of weeks exercises and try to hold them in that way. Even if you just feel like, boy, I'm really feeling it.

[02:08]

Hmm, how come? What's going on? But even though I really intended to do this, I never got aligned to it. Because something very partial in my life was happening. What is it? Maybe there's more investigation into the forces in your life that needs to happen so that you can discover that Even though I sincerely intended to do this, it's not happening. Maybe that patient can quit. Would you like to review, Christina, the materials for this review of what we did and what's due for the next session? Yeah. With you, I don't quite understand what the review is. Well, we said some things that we asked them to do is just to repeat them.

[03:09]

Oh, yes. Okay. And then, and then just like, yeah. So, I looked up, you're going to get all the handout that looks like this, and have all the dates of this trimester, which you already have. I think it's on the website, and also what's happening next year, at the date of the next year. So we would like you to really put those in your calendar. And if possible, if at all possible, don't miss any events. Because if you miss them, it will kind of create an energetic hole in your small group. There will be things you have to miss, but keep them at the minimum. And let us know if you have to miss something so we don't start wondering. what's going on. Also, if you start feeling discouraged for whatever reason, please speak to one of us. Because sometimes it's just something we can suggest that just changes it, or it will support you.

[04:15]

If you don't know, we can't support you. So please don't hesitate to just let us know. Also, you're looking at this. where you need the mouse to go. It should be between today and October 4th. So that means it should be next week. And then the second one should be between October 13th and October 25th. So that's in between, so that next time we all meet together, you can actually address what happened in your group, how did it go, what difficulties did you run into if you did, so we can support you. And in your small group, your task will be, as it is written on the handout, so bring that handout to your peer group meetings so you can follow those questions so you know what to do.

[05:19]

And really the important thing is that it's a support group for you. So it's of absolute importance that every manager is given space to speak. So some people speak easy. And some people speak easy for a long time. So when you get in your first meeting, You have that much time and we count how many people you are and you divide it up between the members there and give everybody the same amount of time. And someone please take time, have a little bell or do something. And even if a person does not want to say anything, give them that amount of time and just be quiet and just be relaxed and it's okay. to be quiet for five minutes and then the next person. It would change and establish something in your dynamic amongst yourself that no one has to worry to get the space.

[06:26]

No one has to jump out or in. And being quiet together is a wonderful way of coming into it. So that would be one thing that I didn't write down that I I really want you to remember and do in this first meeting. It is also important to agree upon keeping the boundaries of confidentiality. So what gets spoken about in the group stays in the group. You don't go hard and say, oh, the bloody law said this and that. keep it so you can build kind of a safety safe environment for each other and if you have concerns or if it doesn't work for so please do it to us and the questions will be where and how did you it will be very practical the first question so what actually did you set up where did you

[07:33]

set up your things? Do you have to set yourself with your cushion to sit? Do you have to set it up each time to describe what it looks like at your sitting place at home or wherever you go and sit? How long do you sit? How do you keep track of time? How do you end the sitting? What are the difficulties you are running into that can be difficulties internal, like I'm just phased out, or I'm thinking about planning my day, I'm not quiet, or I just, you know, the phone rings, or, you know, someone walks in the door, or what are, you know, what are the hindrances you encounter, and how do you deal with them? You get upset, you say something, you don't say something, or you get discouraged, or whatever. So you share that. And then we want you, every time we meet, we will give you a mindfulness activity to practice until we meet again, which will be next Thursday evening, and that will be October 4.

[08:45]

And that exercise is pay attention how you're getting dressed in the morning. How can you do that? Where do you start? What is your motive? Which leg do you start at the bottom? Which leg first, which second, and then what's the secret? And observe that every morning. And when you have the secret time and you know actually in the present how you do that, change it. Start at the top when it's the left arm, if it's the right arm, and make changes and just see how those changes affect. And if you pay attention how we dress this up, also pay attention how it feels. Because usually, or very often, we are with our mind someplace else. We don't feel how that particular paint material actually feels on the skin of my legs or, you know, that shirt or that

[09:55]

buttoning the shirt, how does it feel? How does the button feel on my fingertips? Is this a hard buttonhole or an easy? So stay in your body while also looking what is one, two, three, four, five, and a line dress. So that's what we'd like to do. And I can make little notes. to yourself how it feels, or how it lives, or how impatient you get, or whatever. So how happy it makes you to feel actually with yourself while you're getting this. Okay? Do you want to add anything? I have to get an answer. One little detail. It was helpful last year that every group had one contact person, mostly or organizing the room or if anything needed to happen. You could find out if there's one person in the group that could take on this role.

[11:00]

And you can let us know next time we meet all together. We can work better out. I'm sorry. I was just wondering for the Monday group that meets here. We're going to be starting in two days, or the following Monday. It will be right before Thursday. So Monday group, we want to meet next Monday, in a couple of days, or the group a week after. Week after. Week after. How about the week after that?
