Today’s Qi Gong class was canceled, but I had my first meditation session. I wanted to sign up for an ongoing weekly meditation class, and they require that you have an individual meditation session first before joining the class. The instructor (let’s call him James) took me into his office. At first we talked about my history and why I was there. It’s interesting what you choose to reveal about yourself when you have to sum it up in a couple of minutes. I told him that I was a doctor, that I had been treated for Stage IV lymphoma, and that since treatment was finished I was finding it hard to adjust to my “new normal” because I liked my “old normal.”
