Run a complete consented distance session and review it without inventing a result.
Why this matters
Distance practice is easy to make complicated. A clear agreement, a familiar sequence and a definite ending are more useful than an elaborate performance.
This lesson brings your Master study into one complete, consented session. It does not claim that you can observe or treat the other person.
Prepare the session
Choose a willing adult. Agree the date, both local times, the duration and how either of you can cancel. Ask whether they want a message before or after. Use a blank card or a permitted photograph as a focus. Keep your symbol references nearby.
Use Dai Ko Myo only if it belongs to your training and you have received the relevant attunement. If it does not, keep the Level 2 four-symbol sequence. Do not add a Master symbol to appear more advanced.
A worked example
Nia practises with a friend in another city. They agree on Thursday at 7 pm the friend’s time, ten minutes, with a text afterwards only if the friend wants one. Nia uses a name card, keeps the sequence on the table and finishes at the agreed time.
Afterwards Nia writes: “I used the four-symbol sequence. I noticed my shoulders were tense, so I lowered my arms. My friend has not replied, and no reply was required.” That is a complete record. It does not invent a result or turn silence into a story.
