DmI am Dominica. When our lessons first started I found it difficult to communicate with you. I needed an image, but as time went on, especially in the last month or so, it hasn’t become so necessary, and I've found I haven't been getting so nervous, from half way around the room it's been coming down to the next couple of people, then one, then tonight I wasn’t nervous until I thought I might have to start, so I'm quite pleased about that. As far as the commitment goes, in the responsibility to self, I've been a bit slack and I know it, so this week I have really made an effort & tried to put the time aside to find the stillness a lot more, so I've been a lot calmer, and I've got quite an interest in Cacti and quite a few of ours are flowering and they are so beautiful, I sort of feel that there is a flower like that inside me, it's about time I showed it.

TmI am Tommas.

A couple of meetings ago I did start off by saying that I am quite happy now talking to you, really since your words, I am your friend, that made me feel comfortable.

MlI am Melda. I missed our last meeting because I was taking a massage course, It was quite a decision to take, but I find this course really interesting, I feel that I am helping people, some people have come to me and have talked about their loneliness and I think it's done them good and me good to, I has one person come to me who had been a Roman Catholic in Ireland and he talked about the hate that has been instilled into him and how wonderful it was to come out here where there is no hate and I gain from these people too as well as giving them relaxation. Sometimes after the classes here, sometimes there are things that, when I think it over, I want to ask you, and you seem almost to be there to give me the answer.

PtI am Petta. Commitment and responsibility to self, the first words that spring to mind are "To thine own self be true" I have been afforded the chance to have the knowledge of spirituality, spiritualism, my responsibility commitment is to ensure that I not only do my best to live my life in the ways of spirit, but to sow the seeds of knowledge when and where I can. My endeavours are to keep my body & mind healthy because without good health I cannot give forth the light to others as I should. I am solely responsible for the good or bad feelings that I impart to others. Each day I commit myself to helping, loving & giving to the best of my ability, that is how I feel I should be.
