It is interesting to see how we all experience the activities we participate in for this class. With all of us spread around the country, from different backgrounds and beliefs, it seems that we are falling into two main categories when it comes to the meditation exercises. Either we find it easy or we find it difficult. I wonder why that is. Perhaps it has to do with our previous background and exposure, maybe it's where and when we are able to find the time to get the exercises done, or I'm sure there is another explanation.
What this means to me as a professional is I need to take the time to learn about my clients. I need to know whether finding the ability to concentrate is easy or difficult for them. I also need to know how receptive they are to something like this. I think specifically of a good friend of mine. If I were to suggest he try an activity like this, he would laugh at me. This would mean I would need to start with a simple and effective activity. I have other friends who would jump right on board and would desire to move somewhere fast. With those friends, I could develop a little more quickly and give them different types of activities to try. For example, for some we would need to start with exercises that ask you to focus on one thing only and others could work on changing their focus at an earlier stage. I believe this would be the same for clients in the professional setting.
While looking at the blogs, Adrienne's presentation stuck out to me. It was very professional and clean. It provided a lot of information in a short time, and it inspired me to get working on mine. As I have been on vacation the last two weeks, I must admit getting work done has not been my first priority. Looking at her presentation an thinking I know and appreciate this information made me want to get to work on mine.
