I have been teaching classes of various kinds for over 10 years now and although I will be the first to admit I have a tendency to be overly self critical at times, the simple truth is if you get up in front of a room full of people often enough, at some point you can just feel that some days you are more on than not. I did 4 classes at Shibaricon and I felt I hit hit 2 of them pretty well out of the park and well two of them didn’t feel like they landed quite as well.

I was feeling sort of down about that this week until I got a couple of emails from people that have been to my classes. Then I decided to peek back at a few other class comments I have received and post a few of them here mainly as a reminder to myself that although I am far from perfect, it is an amazing feeling when I am able to deliver a message that makes a difference in some one’s life. 

Comments from students: “I’ve been using the breathing techniques not only in scene work, but also to calm and center my gf when she gets upset, so thanks again for your wisdom and knowledge.” 

“I was in your ecstatic breathing class kind of mostly following along, but also just being in awe of how many people got it.  That’s an amazing gift… as much as I can feel energy, and can sometimes just touch someone and they can feel it too, or understand… I find it’s very hard for some people to understand. I was just blown away by how many people were getting it in your class, and it was really exciting and awesome to feel.  It’s not often I get to bathe in that kind of energy, but it’s very rejuvenating and reassuring that humanity at its core is light not dark. Just wanting to pass on my email, and thanks to you.”

“The ending demo of the weekend was especially touching. Using a combination of breathing exercises, spirit building techniques, and excellent style and mannerism gave the participating members a wonderful relaxing / meditative / energizing group connecting experience. It produced the most concentrated “energy” that I find psychically nourishing and rejuvenating that I’ve encountered.”

“I must say Sunday morning session on breath play, etc with the group was probably the one of the most touching moments in myself and my slaves life, thank you. Thank you everyone for sharing your love and lifestyles with us.”

“Ending the weekend with the connection and breath demo was refreshing, I felt growth, change, happiness and sadness, I was over whelmed with the love within and outside of the circle as I looked around ..I truly care for you all…Thank you for sharing such a special weekend with U/us.”
