The male stopped for a moment, a pause in time, in which Panda could only assume that the child was thinking about if he would like her to help him. When he finally answered her, she had been happy with his choice and she put her sketchbook to the side of her and she crossed her legs and put her elbows on her knees and got herself in a comfortable position. His positioning might have had to be different, more like laying down. She looked at him with her chocolate eyes and smiled still at him. "It'd be best if you get in a position you can completely relax, you might be stuck in one spot for some time. " she spoke as she started to get herself ready to relax. She took deep, even breaths of air and she looked to the boy, waiting for him to get comfortable. Once he had, she had continued one with these words: "Close your eyes. Take a few deep breathes, push all the air out of your lungs when you exhale.... Do this however long you need to, to prepare your mind for the slow down. Everything that is on your mind, whatever it is, weither it is your family issues, what you are going to eat for dinner, or the issues of feeling inferior, just let it all go." She gave him a few pauses in her words so that he could follow her instructions while she too meditated. She would be trying to use her own shamanism to guide him through what he was going to do. She'd done this many times before, and this one would be only different because of the different mind and spirit she would be guiding.
Panda sucked in a deep breath of the ocean air. It was peaceful here where they were. She noticed and she liked it. The perfect place to be doing exactly what they were doing. "Inhale...Exhale.. As you relax, your mind will become blank... As we want it, and soon, an image will start to appear in your mind's eye. Gradually, your image becomes clear, it's someone whom you admire, whoever that may be. Whatever qualities you admire in them will show themselves to you and these qualities in their eyes. Weither that be strength, kindness, calmness, determination. Whatever you see there means what you want to accomplish...Now take a step back, look at them as a whole. Look at the way they stand, turn them around what do they look like to you? Think about what words you come up with and how those words relate to the inner qualities we thought about earlier. Do they relate at all?" she asked, but did not expect the male to respond. He should have responded in his mind. All the floppy eared boy should have listened to what was being said to him.
"Look closely again at the other person, and then slowly let their face mold into your own. Look at your own face, and see what qualities you see in yourself? Did you ever notice any of these qualities before? Have they been laying dormant within you to where you ignore them completely? " she spoke, her voice calm and collected, her breathing normal, her ears erect before she continued again. "Slowly draw back and look at yourself, imagine that you and an image of strength and stability are becoming one, honor yourself for whom you strive to be every day, and notice who that is. You are success, Jackson. Don't let yourself forget this " the woman spoke her last words before she would smile and slowly peek her eyes open. She chuckled softly. "Not too painless, eh?"
