Thanks Disa,I will go there.
Cat* said:I suggest keeping the "26 chapters" discussion right here in the meta-thread with the general talk, and have the talk that is inspired by particular chapters in their respective threads. How's that for order?
Grizabella said:Did I miss something in the CD's that brings up the question of why there are 26 chapters?
If I remember correctly, the riddle of the 26 chapters comes up in the interview with Leisa ReFalo that's been linked somewhere earlier...Grizabella said:Did I miss something in the CD's that brings up the question of why there are 26 chapters?
Grizabella said:Undoubtedly you've heard the term "analysis paralysis"?

Pasted from the top of this thread:
So how has what people on this thread have learned from the CD impacted their readings?
Information this good should show up in what we do, and discussing it might be of value to us.
I am making a more solid effort at listening to the sitter, for a start.
How is this teaching showing up, in people's approach to reading?
Grizabella said:I think the two most valuable things I've learned from Dan is the emphasis on "it's not about you" and "why do you read?"
The fact that it's not about us ----not about me----actually takes pressure off the reader if you stop and think about it. Because gone is the pressure of "how do I look? what will the sitter think of me? etc. and replacing it is just the earnest desire to be "present" with the sitter and pay close attention to them so as to get the most helpful information from the Universe for them and to relay it in the most sensitive and diplomatic way to the sitter.
I haven't written the three page essay. Has anyone else?
