After reading this post I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It is SO overwhelming taking this course - a bit like being in a foreign country - with no native speakers at your beck and call (no not really - just a drama girl). But suddenly, after searching and clicking and clicking and searching - you find your peeps - well one of them! Who would have thought how happy I'd be reading my teacher's blog. It was totally by accident - after being lost and frustrated - I said what the %#@& - let's just see what this guy does on his blog! And click - here I am. I finally feel relaxed because I've been so stressed and the feeling being overwhelmed and frustrated got talked about during this post!!! Thank you. I'm not even sure why "stress" is the feeling - but let's just say - I'm one of "those" students - who wants to know the answers before I take the course!!! Oh, and i noticed at least one of my classmates blogs to the right - I better check that out next - don't want to miss more than I already am. LOL! You guess it - I've decided to LAUGH -and at myself - of course! This is a great lesson for me - because this will help me EVEN more as I begin to integrate what I'm learning into my special ed classes with very special students! However, I love the idea of this being a year long course - so point me in the right direction, sign me up, hook up the video feed, and I'm there!!! Thanks.

The teacher noticed him struggling and took him aside. "I am going to teach you a special meditation. It's called the 'one breath' meditiation." Dewitt was thrilled to be getting this special attention. The teacher continued, "Here's how it is done. You take it all in, iike this", and he breathed in; "and you let it all out, like this"; and he breathed out. Dewitt is a photographer for National Geographic and says this simple explanation has been guiding him ever since. Take in all you can and give it all back. We are programmed for it in every breath. I think it's a beautiful way to think about meditation, our breath, and our lives. pete Hi,

I think it’s a beautiful way to think about meditation, our breath, and our lives.
