Good AT lesson with Michele today. She's based 20 minutes walk from our place: in Ladywell, so it's very convenient. M. trained with Walter and Dilys Carringtons and I really like working with teachers from this line. What I particularly enjoyed about the way M. worked today was the space given to me.
Before we began I had asked her to treat me as a total beginner, later on I also requested some 'AT homework'. One idea that was suggested was pausing (or inhibiting using the AT jargon) on my way to and from work. Great! It'd be nice to refresh this already familiar approach, hopefully in a new and fresh way..
M. asked me the question "when can I
give my directions most easily" (paraphrasing) An easy answer to this
one – when I'm not around other people!
A thought / concern that came up during
the lesson: am I prepared inwardly for the intensity and the way of working on the training course? My sense is that if I don't take several lessons before the
course, the beginning may be difficult. I prepared well for this
training outwardly (i.e. saving money) but haven't had many lessons over the past 3
years. Anyway, the good news is that I'm addressing it now, and M.mentioned that I can work on myself during the lesson and that I'm
ready for the training. Happy to hear this, but still, intensified work
is needed.
On my way back I stopped twice. I
noticed the tendency to rush in walking – did stopping help in
addressing this? I'm not sure to be honest. Something to
investigate further...
