it was an intimate group this evening. everyone was so dropped into their own practice that i hardly said a word, offering subtle alignment cues and holding the space. as a teacher (of any subject) there is a temptation to say and share everything you know. i am realizing this method of "teaching" allows very little room for the "a-ha" moments to happen. so this evening, as i noticed the impulse to offer up one rich insight after another, i paused and held the space in silence.
