I just wanted to introduce myself and say hello to all of you.
Seems that the questions I ask myself usually have the same answers even before I ask...self doubt...negative feelings. It's never productive....and exhausting. I'm addicted to that way of thinking..... Looking forward to a shift. Yesterday I was at a meeting where someone wise said....you have to have a breakdown to breakthrough. Will stay in touch. Indira is a joy and am happy to be one of her students in this journey.
Hello Daisy Mae,
ReplyDeletenice to meet you here. Wellcome in the open classroom.
Love
Monika
Dear Daisy Mae,
ReplyDeleteI wanted to welcome you in a color, but we can leave our comments only in black.
So, please imagine a dark pink and orange together for today,
I send you these colors from Mainz,
love,
Antje
And good morning, also, Daisy Mae, Monika, Antje, and all the other students. I am glad to wake up bright and early and see your friendly faces showing up. A teacher always loves to see excited and enthusiastic students in class :) Thank you for making new students welcome. New students (and "old" shy) students will be making their way into the Open Classroom from time to time.
ReplyDeleteDo you all remember your old school classrooms, when you were a child? So much went on there - so much of your life was lived there.
You will notice that many of the same feelings that you had as a child may come out in this Classroom - feeling shy, alone, superior, angry, not accepted, stupid, unseen, whatever you experienced as a child. Good and happy feelings may arise too.
The Classroom gives old negative feelings a chance to arise and heal, here in a space of acceptance and love. This is one reason why participating in the Open Classroom can be so helpful. You can speak without raising your hand! You can say what YOU want to say! You are TRUSTED in this classroom - you are trusted to be kind and friendly and speak your truth. You have the opportunity to stop being afraid of what people might think of you - and just be YOU!
Antje, Dark pink and orange remind me of the sunrise.
Keep growing and glowing!
Dear Daisy,Monika, Antje,Indira!
ReplyDeleteEvery Monday is a challenge for me.
After several days with my friends who give me security, I am alone again and confronted with my Ego used to pain and resignation.I admire anybody who can be alone and be happy.
Monday is my tired day.
But I give myself time for this day I seem to need.
Love from Munic where still the winter weather is there waiting for springtime
