I am Minearisa, Instructor-in-Residence to this Southeast Idaho Teaching Group. I wish to begin this evening’s session with a stillness exercise.

Please lengthen your spine. Let your shoulders relax. Allow your hands to unclench. Experience a flow of energy entering the top of your head and flowing like a thick warm liquid down through your head, past your eyes, past your nasal cavities, past your mouth and into your chin, neck. As this golden, honey-like energy passes, relaxation follows. Feel this relaxation pour into your neck and shoulders. Feel the opening and lengthening in your chest. Let it pour down your arms opening your hands. Let it flow into your belly, hips, legs. Feel it enter your thighs, pour through your knees, pour down your calves and into your ankles, finally relaxing your feet and toes. Feel yourself grounded below and open above. Feel the weight of this energy as it ties you into Mother Earth yet stretches your column up. See yourselves receiving this golden energy.

My dear friends, I will continue with the lesson/discussion this evening. I am Minearisa, continuing on. We your teachers and advisors are much impressed with the curriculum that was introduced earlier this evening in the concept of "turning the other cheek" and the interpretation provided.

I am now open for questions or comments.

Virginia: This lesson is very interesting to me. All kinds of things popped into my head. And, I do like the point that Peace Pilgrim accepted no blame in the other person’s reaction. She probably said things very innocently, and so that was a very interesting thought because…well, I’ll speak for myself. I can feel guilty, when perhaps there should be no guilt, for someone else’s reaction. Even in this lesson we read tonight, you know your intentions. And, so that was very helpful.
