Q: What is the best preparation for teaching?

 

A: The best thing is to take a bath or shower before teaching.  If you have short hair, run your fingers under cold water, then run them through your hair and over your scalp.  Comb your hair back and forth.  This is most refreshing, and is done for energy. Then cover your head with a white head covering of your choice, so the energy remains with the nucleus. Cover the whole head, not just the crown chakra. 

 

It will be the best thing if a teacher prepares for a couple of minutes in personal silence, repeats the Teachers Oath, and chants “Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo” for himself or herself before tuning in with the group in class.
