Welcome to month four of the Meditation Teacher Training Program. This month is a key milestone in your studies; you will begin to teach the practice of meditation. During the past three months, you have established a daily meditation practice and have been studying and practicing techniques leading to meditation. Through these efforts you have developed skills to utilize in teaching others. Now, it is time to take the next step and begin to share the techniques and insight you have gained from your studies, and practice, with others. For your first class you will be teaching students whom you visualize and you will be recording your teaching. Recording is an important tool for use in improving teaching skills and should be established at the beginning of your meditation teaching. It is through listening to your teaching that you will see the areas that need improvement. If you choose, you may invite a family member or friend to join you for the practice teaching. Your monthly assignments provide more specific directions on the practice teaching for the month. Enjoy this next step on your path to becoming a meditation teacher. Continue your daily meditation practice, increasing your practice to 30 minutes per day. Begin to utilize the Hong Sau Kriya technique.
Continue to listen to and follow the DVD or CD on asana practice for 20 minutes a day.
Find joy in your daily practice. Find joy in your meditation. Find ever-greater joy in Life. Shanti, Swami Jyothi Pranananda for the Temple of Kriya Meditation Teacher Training Program
