SHG 2 (May 1st):

2 weeks from the start of the first SHG meeting we met again at 4:30 pm. Dharam, Chandra & Raja have attended the SHG this time. We conducted the SHG in "Indira Park" on this occasion. There was an interesting innocent intruder, who joined us knowing it was an SHG but not knowing the nature of SHG (she was into astrology). Dharam provided a peek view into the material that he has got from Partha Bagchi's workshop. We discussed about breathing, pranayama etc. Raja mentioned how he felt that Pranayama was relaxing in certain situations, Chandra was quite curious and we practiced a round of Pranayama (Anulom Vilom).

After some general Q&A, we then went back to the bouncing technique - we were able to run a lot of rounds of the technique going around after 1/few sentences from one. This gave us a better feel for the technique. After about an hour or so, we took a break got some snacks and did some fun role play cum mock interviews of each other. Each of us played a mocking character who has to respond to others queries. The rules however were that 1) any one asking question or responding has to first eat a bit of snack and only then talk (helps us to not rush) and 2) we have to adopt bouncing technique. It was quite fun even among 3 of us.

After about an hour, it was getting dark and we departed.
