Revamped Personal Learning Plan

Filed under: Uncategorized — mysolitaryjedijourney @ 1:21 am

I had to change my personal learning plan because I got behind with the new job change and the holidays. Additionally, the courses are 8 lessons long and it took me about 1 week for each lesson. So I have made some changes in regards to the dates of completion. I also added some reading material to many of the sections. Basically because I felt that they fit well there and because there may not be that much reading in those sections. Alotting more time to complete the course allows me more time to read a bit more books. Hope you don’t mind.

  1. Hi! It occurred to me to request that if you find a book that really seems to speak to you and to complement the course material well, please let us know.

    Thanks,

    • I don’t know who asked before about posting a review on what I read, but I will do so in my ‘reading’ section. That way, you can see what the book was all about. I will let you know if any would be a good supplement to courses.

  2. Interesting to see you have Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl. It was recommended to my son to read by his therapist recently. The first half on the observations of how some survived and some did not in the concentration camps of WWII was extremely interesting…. and highlights that for the most part… ‘this’ is nowhere as ‘bad’ as the things those folks went through.

    One book I’d recommend for Healing/Energy sections would be a large tome … Energy Medicine by Donna Eden. Sort of her recounting of her journey to her energy work… through Healing by Touch and intuitive work. Plenty to chew on and lots of exercises to consider… though, in some aspects, it does not go far enough…….. but I assume that is so you would wish to sign up for their courses, etc. Typical I suppose.
