lesson 10: Chakra questions
In this module, let’s look at some of the basic questions that you can ask your students to stimulate a 10-minute group discussion after the presentation of your Chakra Introduction. It’s worth asking yourself these questions and thinking about what each of these means to you. Make some notes about possible answers to have ready for your students.
Expanding on these will encourage sharing among your students and give them something to think about.
Watch your time as discussions can often get carried away and take up way to much time as they are fun and engaging with the students – so enjoy this it will give you an insight into some of the students and show where their own difficulties are seated.
Don’t be surprised if during the meditation and discussions some students shed tears; emotional release is not uncommon and you should encourage your students to just let it flow, it may be that they are having a difficult time at the moment and just need to let it go.
Most importantly remember to point out in any group discussion – no advice giving and no judgement!
